Whichever one you put first is the default, which is used when there's
no matching ServerName/ServerAlias.  The one where you left off
ServerName/ServerAlias is only the default because it's first, not
because it's not "constrained" to specific ServerNames -- it's
actually unusuably when it's not first since it matches no server
names.
ok, I'm trying to understand but I guess I don't quite get it. If I have a file like this:


<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /home/drupal-commons/drupal_commons

    ServerName tdhc.digitalcommons.ca

</VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80>
    UseCanonicalName    Off

    VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%0

    Options All

    ServerAdmin matt.pr...@utoronto.ca

    # Store uploads in /var/www/wp-uploads/$0

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteRule ^/wp-uploads/(.*)$ /var/www/wp-uploads/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1

</VirtualHost>

all traffic, no matter the HOST of the request, gets directed to /home/drupal-commons/drupal_commons. If I reverse the stanzas, no traffic ever gets directed there. Is there no possible ordering in which some traffic is matched by one of the stanzas, and some by another? And if not, is there a better trick to make that work? Thanks very much,

Matt

ps -- Not sure but I may have solved this by adding a

ServerName *

to the dynamic VirtualHost stanza. Is that bad practice? And may I ask what I should do to capture requests that come in without a HOST: header (that is, in which the request is made directly by IP)? I'd like to send those somewhere -- right now they go straight to tdhc.digitalcommons.ca, which I'd rather not have happen. Thanks again very much,
Matt
