Synopsis
<VirtualHost>
...
</VirtualHost>
[server config]
Used when the Apache server services
multiple hostnames. Each hostname is given its own
<VirtualHost>
directive.
<VirtualHost> has a beginning and ending
directive, with other configuration directives for the virtual host
entered in between. Most directives are valid within
<VirtualHost> except the following:
BindAddress, GroupId,
MaxRequestsPerChild,
MaxSpareServers,
MinSpareServers, Listen,
NameVirtualHost, PidFile,
ServerType, ServerRoot,
StartServers, TypesConfig, and
UserId. This is essentially a segmenting directive
that applies directives solely to the virtual host specified. For
example:
<VirtualHost sales.oreilly.com> ServerAdmin webmaster@oreilly.com DocumentRoot /ora/sales/www ServerName sales.oreilly.com ErrorLog /ora/sales/logs/error_log TransferLog /ora/sales/logs/access_log </VirtualHost>
