[Cialug] Virtual hosts in Apache

[Tim Wilson]

It looks like I have it working, what I did was in addition to the entry for
foobar.domain1.com on port 8080, I added the following:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
    ServerName foobar.domain1.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/foobar
</VirtualHost>

Where /var/www/foobar doesn't exist.  That way, if someone goes to
foobar.domain1.com on port 80, they'll get a 404.  Until today, I was only
listening on 8080, keeping people from finding I had a web server running
(since most only scan port 80).  However, I have some legit people accessing
certain sites, but some where having problems going to 8080.

The one problem is if someone goes to the actual IP address, they're still
presented with the foo.domain1.com page instead of an error.  I'll see if
there's a way to do a redirect or rewrite.
