VirtualHost Examples not working

[dmode]

Hi,

I am trying to add an intranet for my company. I have followed the VirtualHost Examples from the Apache website. Done the necessary modifications in the httpd.conf file.

Followed the procedures below (create the directory):
--------------------------------------------------
Listen 80

# This is the "main" server running on 172.20.30.40
ServerName server.domain.com
DocumentRoot /www/mainserver

# This is the other address
NameVirtualHost 172.20.30.50

<VirtualHost 172.20.30.50>
DocumentRoot /www/example1
ServerName www.example1.com

# Other directives here ...

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 172.20.30.50>
DocumentRoot /www/example2
ServerName www.example2.org

# Other directives here ...

</VirtualHost>
--------------------------------------------------

All I get is a message from squid :

The requested URL could not be retrieved

Can someone help, should I modify the hosts file? One more question: How can I limit access to only client computers on the network to the virtual domains, i.e. no access from internet?

[dmode]

Anyone? Please help.

You have two of the same IP, which is probably not working.

How will you tell two VirtualHosts apart? IP address, hostname, or port number?

There is a config tool you can use, in the package system-config-httpd. On the menu System Settings > Server Settings > HTTP.

[dmode]

But this is the example given by Apache (if its there then it should work right?!?)! I do however have made the configuration for only one virtual host, just as you said. My main aim is to setup two web servers on a single computer, one for hosting our website and one for intranet. When trying to connect to the virtual host, all I am getting is:

The requested URL could not be retrieved

Here it is:
----------------------------------------------
NameVirtualHost 172.20.80.2

<VirtualHost 172.20.80.2>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 172.20.80.2>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/intranet
ServerName www.united.net
</VirtualHost>
----------------------------------------------

I'm desperate!
