[QCLUG] Multiple Domains - Apache

[Roadkill the Avatar of Misfortune]

I'd say the biggest reason your having trouble here is that those rewrites 
need to be in the domainb.com virtual host stanza, instead of in the 
www.domainb.com stanza..  

If those are the only two stanza's in your domain, but dns points to the ip of 
your server, the apache server will not know which server is being asked for, 
and so it will use the default (usually the first domain in it's virtual host 
table)

The way I deal with these types of situations is as follows:

<VirtualHost 10.101.10.13:80>
	ServerName www.domaina.com
	Important site stuff here
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 10.101.10.13:80>
	ServerName domaina.com
	Redirect 303 / http://www.domaina.com/
</VirtualHost>

Rewrites work for some tasks, but a redirect should be a little faster and 
simpler to debug in the case your suggesting.

Hope that helps,
rk
