Greetings.

1 IP, on it N hosts.
Described as virtual hosts, entries in httpd.conf like this:

NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.domain.tld ServerAlias domain.tld DocumentRoot /www/domain </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.otherdomain.tld ServerAlias otherdomain.tld DocumentRoot /www/otherdomain </VirtualHost>

Faced with the fact that when you try to open a subdomain undefined in the config, for example, ns2.domain.tld, the contents of domain.tld open. But in servername, serveralias this subdomain does not appear. How to prevent open it?

    The last defined VirtualHost is a virtual host by default, it gets all requests for which there was no suitable virtual host (probably, you can somehow explicitly set the default virtual host, but I don’t know how).

    Accordingly, you need to create a service VirtualHost, which will be picked up last (for example, to be the last in the config) and place some stub in it.

      Add at the end:

       <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName default Redirect 404 / </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost _default_:80> Redirect 404 / </VirtualHost>

      This will return 404 to all non-existent hosts.

      • But is it worth it on top of Apache frontend, for example, nginx? Then, receiving 404, he can do something else of his own - for example. show default site. - Sergiks
