Apache win32 Virtual Hosts I'm stuck

[July]

I'm have 2 domain names that I want to host on the same server. I'm using apache win32 on windows 2000. It's not my choice I would have gone with a linux box but this is what is setup.
I've been trying for the last hour to set this up correctly. I've read and searched google.com for some tips and looked on apache.org website and I still haven't done it right. I'll post up my config file just for show. Could someone show me what I'm doing wrong and how to do it so I can host 2 domain names on the same box?

### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
<VirtualHost www.domainone.com>
 ServerName www.domainone.com
 DocumentRoot "C:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost www.domaintwo.com>
     ServerName www.domaintwo.com
     DocumentRoot "C:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/domaintwo"
</VirtualHost>

first of all.......I would do this with the paths instead.
----------------------
C:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/domainone

C:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/domaintwo
-------------
also remembner that after you make changes to the file, apache needs to be restarted to pick up the current configuration.

I hope this helps....

What sort of behavior are you getting? Is apache just delivering one of the domains? Is it giving you error messages? The only time I used VirtualHosts, I had to actually put the external IP address in the NameVirtualHost field to get it to work correctly. I don't know if it absolutely has to be set, but when I finally got it to work, it was with that field set.

EDIT: I'm sure you've already covered this, but just in case... You have to make sure that DNS entries will point both domains to this box or it won't ever work.

codergish tried that still didn't work. The error that I'm getting with the same setup that I posted earlier is.

[warn]VirtualHost www.domainone.com:80 overlaps with VirtualHost www.domaintwo.com:80, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive
[warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
then of course I get the
Apache/1.3.27 (Win32) running...

I always restart the server after I edit the config file and I know for sure the dns is working correctly because domaintwo is setup riight now to display the domainone page.

Anyways still stuck.

k..the most likely cause as, str34m3r suggested then is this

use ip's here instead.....I would also stick to the same paths as I suggested....

<VirtualHost ##.##.##.##>
ServerName www.domainone.com
DocumentRoot "C:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>

Perhaps this may work.

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.domainone.com
DocumentRoot "C:/program files/apache group/apache/domainone"
</VirturalHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.domaintwo.com
DocumentRoot "C:/program files/apache group/apache/domaintwo"
</VirturalHost>


I'm not exactly sure if this will work, because I had edited my HTTPD.conf file because I can't set up my DNS. Then, I just decided that two domains was out of the question for me. I also set my own error-logs/admin emails for each domain, but that can be done after it is set up. But, I haven't be able to get my DNS set up to check if that acutrally works... I hope it does...

BTW, if a domain isn't found, I think the first one is used as default. Also, I don't know if this is name-based or multi-homed...but I hope it may work...

also you could use a site like no-ip to redirect your ip ect. it will also give you a prog that will update your ip automatically. maybe this is your problem, a change in ip's

If you don't mind waiting until Monday, I can take a look at the machine at work that I set virtual hosts on and post the httpd.conf file, but I've looked through all the backup files I have here and I can't find that one. Mine was also for two boxes within the same domain, but I don't think that should make a difference for this.

As best I can remember, it looks something like this:

NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.1

<VirtualHost name1.mydomain.com>
  ServerName name1.mydomain.com
  ServerAlias name1
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/name1
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost name2.mydomain.com>
  ServerName name2.mydomain.com
  ServerAlias name2
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/name2
</VirtualHost>
