Running multi tenancy on same port with apache web server - NameBasedVirtualHsoting

Question

I have been working to get multi tenancy running on same port on same ip address. I have achieved the objective with different ports but I can't run the same on one port only. Here the apache web server redirects the request to weblogic host on same machine. I have gone through multiple guides but it is not working as expected. I have configured two virtual hosts for same port with URL as localhost:9010/site1 and localhost:9010/site2. The configuration in httpd.conf is mentioned below. I don't know where I have made the mistake so I have kept whole configuration file.

    Define SRVROOT "D:\Apache24"
    ServerRoot "${SRVROOT}"


    Listen 9010
    #Listen 9011

Whenever I use different ports for site1 and site2, it runs fine. But keeping the same port does not work for me. Only the virtualhost defined first works and the other returns eorro 404. Also I found that it is called as Name based virtual hosting. The guides suggests that NameVirtualHost directive should be configured. I have also added the same.

Please help... Thank you in advance..

Answer 1

If you are running 2 VirtualHosts on the same port, the differentiator would be the Servername, such as:

<VirtualHost *:9010>
      ServerName site1.localhost.local
      ......
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:9010>
      ServerName site2.localhost.local
      ......
 </VirtualHost>

In your examples you are using subdirectory as you servername and this is not work, that seems to be the issue
