[ILUG] apache mod_vhost_alias and normal vhosts

[Stephen Shirley]

Hi,
I have a server, running debian sarge, with apache2. The following is
the entire vhost configuration:

-------------------------------8<--------------------------
NameVirtualHost 213.239.204.216:80

<VirtualHost 213.239.204.216:80>
    VirtualDocumentRoot /srv/%1/public_html
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 213.239.204.216:80>
    ServerName www.ichbinn.net
    ServerAlias ichbinn.net ja.ichbinn.net
    DocumentRoot /var/www/
</VirtualHost>
------------------------------->8--------------------------

What's supposed to happen (according to my understanding of the apache docs):
- http://www.ichbinn.net, http://ichbinn.net and http://ja.ichbinn.net
be served from /var/www
- http://svn.ichbinn.net should be served from /srv/svn/public_html

What actually happens:
- http://www.ichbinn.net, http://ichbinn.net are served from /var/www
- http://svn.ichbinn.net is served from /srv/svn/public_html
- http://ja.ichbinn.net is served from /srv/ja/public_html

Can anyone suggest why this might be happening? After many hours of
poking at this, i'm leaning towards the idea that there might be a bug
in apache2 relating to the fqdn of a host being handled differently
when it comes to vhosts.
