It's not working for me. The site cannot be found.
Is 58.7.0.171 the correct IP address?

[Dutzzu]

tks for help falko

i have a new question now: if i want to host 2 domains on a single server, what do i have to change in httpd.conf ?!? just paste a code similary like that for virtual host ?!?
smt like this ( if i have dutzzu.ro, and now i want to add another domain - example.ro )

Listen 80
NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
  ServerName dutzzu.ro
  DocumentRoot /www/webroot
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
 ServerName example.ro
DOcumentRoot /www/webroot/example.ro
</VirtualHost>

Is this corect ? or i have to past smth else ( another code ) somwhere else ?

Looks ok. But you can find more information here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/name-based.html

Since this is along the same lines how would one accomplish a compound subdomain.

Example: http://sub1.sub2.sub3.host.tld/

in my <VirtualHost> Tag this is what I listed as the primary data:

        ServerAdmin noc@xainet.com
	ServerName www.ebarg.com
	ServerAlias ebarg.com *.*.*.*.ebarg.com *.*.*.ebarg.com *.*.ebarg.com *.ebarg.com 
	DocumentRoot /my/path/to/root/

Obviously this wont work (already tried). httpd does not fault, but it won't let me us any more than one domain. I am sure it is possable though because you see it on government websites alot (course maybe it is a government thing).

Any ideas?

[commanderxai]

Hey, I figured it out to anyone who is interested.

	ServerAdmin noc@xainet.com
	ServerName www.ebarg.com
	ServerAlias ebarg.com "^(a-zA-Z0-9_.)+$".ebarg.com *.ebarg.com 
	DocumentRoot /my/path/to/root/

The last ServerAlias directive is redundant, but I left it in there anyway.

Maybe someone can find this handy.

What if you are using Dynamic DNS? Who shall you point the subdomain to the correct IP?

Isn't there any work around?

[falko]

You can use CNAME records that point to your dyndns.org address.

Yes actually I finally managed to figure that out yesterday and sorry for not saying that here. I found it in the dyndns.org forum.

Thanks falko
