0N/A <
p>The term <
cite>Virtual Host</
cite> refers to the practice of
1472N/A maintaining more than one server on one machine, as
1472N/A differentiated by their apparent hostname. For example, it is
1472N/A often desirable for companies sharing a web server to have
0N/A their own domains, with web servers accessible as
1879N/A know any extra path information.</
p>
1879N/A <
p>Apache was one of the first servers to support IP-based
1879N/A virtual hosts right out of the box. Versions 1.1 and later of
1879N/A Apache support both, IP-based and name-based virtual hosts
1879N/A (vhosts). The latter variant of virtual hosts is sometimes also
1879N/A called host-based or non-IP virtual hosts.</

0N/A <

3137N/A find the Apache <
code>-t -D DUMP_VHOSTS</
code> command line switch
0N/A useful. It will dump out a description of how Apache parsed the
3137N/A configuration file. Careful examination of the IP addresses and
0N/A server names may help uncover configuration mistakes.
