Apache2 - Configure two websites, one with ip/port, one with domain

I am hosting two websites on a Raspberry Pi Apache2 server.
One website has a domain name, while the second site doesn't. I want to access the second one with the server IP on same port but without a domain name.



So to access the first one, I would type domainname.com and for the second 1.2.3.4.



With this current setup, both the domain name AND the IP go to the first website.



Here are my two .conf files:



<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domainname.com
ServerAlias www.domainname.com

ServerAdmin domainname@gmail.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/domainname.com/public_html

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
ServerName raspberrypi

ServerAdmin domainname@gmail.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/domainname2.com/public_html

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>


What should I put in ServerName for the second website? Since it doesn't have a domain and I'm just accessing it by IP?



I also tried using _default_ but it didn't seem to do anything?

  • @DavidPostill But you can have two websites on same IP and port number. Its the ServerName in the HTTP request that allows Apache to distinguish which one the client wants.

It's likely that you need to "reverse" the entries for your websites. Per the current Apache 2.4 documentation on Name-based Virtual Host Support:




If no matching ServerName or ServerAlias is found in the set of virtual hosts containing the most specific matching IP address and port combination, then the first listed virtual host that matches that will be used.




So your configuration files (in order) should be:



<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName raspberrypi

ServerAdmin domainname@gmail.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/domainname2.com/public_html

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domainname.com
ServerAlias www.domainname.com

ServerAdmin domainname@gmail.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/domainname.com/public_html

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>


Note that the _default_ entry should be unnecessary. Any request that doesn't match raspberrypi or domainname.com/www.domainname.com (such as 1.2.3.4) should be matched to the first virtual host (raspberrypi).
