Alright, I trid it, and It kindof works, however here is what happens now.
I can get furbs.swjedi.net to open the user page, however www.swjedi.net also
opens the user page. Here is how I set up my file:
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1>
DocumentRoot /var/www/public_files/furbs/
ServerAdmin furbs@swjedi.net
ServerName furbs.swjedi.net
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/public_files/furbs/cgi-bin/
Options ExecCgi Includes Indexes FollowSymlinks
# ErrorLog /home/furbs/httplogs/error.log
# TransferLog /home/furbs/httplogs/transfer.log
# AgentLog /home/furbs/httplogs/agent.log
# RefererLog /home/furbs/httplogs/refer.log
</VirtualHost>
I disabled logging just until I get it working first. Also, IP is 192.168.0.1
because thats the servers true IP behind the firwall, I don't know how this
would work externally, any help on that would be useful as well.
Other user html directorys are stored in "/var/www/public_files/" that I need
to do the same thing with, how do you do multiple configurations? I tried just
using multiple VirtualHost configs, but it seems the first one is always the
default. I also tried using FQDN's(furbs.swjedi.net) instead of the servers IP
and then it started defaulting everything to the second config. As of this
moment here is what I have:
<VirtualHost www.swjewdi.net>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
ServerAdmin furbs@swjedi.net
ServerName www.swjedi.net
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/html/cgi-bin/
Options ExecCgi Includes Indexes FollowSymlinks
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost furbs.swjedi.net>
DocumentRoot /var/www/public_files/furbs/
ServerAdmin furbs@swjedi.net
ServerName furbs.swjedi.net
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/public_files/furbs/cgi-bin/
Options ExecCgi Includes Indexes FollowSymlinks
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost callista.swjedi.net>
DocumentRoot /var/www/public_files/callista/
ServerAdmin callista@swjedi.net
ServerName callista.swjedi.net
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/public_files/callista/cgi-bin/
Options ExecCgi Includes Indexes FollowSymlinks
</VirtualHost>
