[BlueOnyx:04882] Re: vsite resolving to first site

[Peter Maguire]

Thanks Jimmy for that.

It confirms what I have done.  

As we know, DNS needs its time and this server has been waiting for 3 weeks on these settings, checked and re-checked over and over.

You have to have an A record (Host record) setup in your primary and secondary DNS servers for each site:

www.site1.com    A   XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
site1.com            A  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

www.site2.com    A  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
site2.com            A  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is your IP address.

You must also have a domain alias set up for each site under Site Management->Services->Web for each domain:
1) site1.com = alias of www.site1.com and site1.com
2) site2.com = alias of www.site2.com and site2.com

Unless you set up an A record in your primary and secondary DNS servers for each domain it will not resolve.

  Both sites are setup exactly the same with the hostname being www and domain being their respective domain names.  Each has an alias for just the domain name under Site Management->Services->Web.  I am going to try and add another alias on the second site and see if it resolves as that seems to be the problem...not processing aliases.

  I appreciate the prompt reply.  I do have DNS entries with Network Solutions for both www.mydomainname.org and mydomainname.org for outside resolution and I also have them entered on my Win2k3 inside DNS servers for inside resolution.  Hit the FQDN of www.mydomainname.org and I hit the proper site so Apache must be resolving properly at that point but why not for mydomainname.org?

  You must include mydomainname.org as a web server alias for www.mydomainname.org
  Do this in Site Management - Services - Web - Web server aliases

  If you want other.mydomainname.org to resolve to www.mydomainname.org then include that too, and add an A record in DNS for it with the same IP address.
