Question

i’m working on a server that i inherited from someone, and i’m not a big expert on dns issues.
the server hosts more than one domains, and they are all under a folder called /vhosts/.
i can’t seem to understand how domains are pointing to their respective folder there. i checked httpd.config and there is no directive like this:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.domain.tld
DocumentRoot /www/domain
</VirtualHost>

i also checked the domain admin and they are all pointing to the server ip. so what am i missing?

Answer 1

The system could be configured for mass virtual hosting:

• http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/mass.html

Alternately, the configurations for the virtual hosts could be declared in included files brought in through an Include statement. Check the httpd.config for Include statements to other vhosts …

if all else fails, go to the root of the configuration directory and run the following:

 sudo grep -Ri www.domain.tld . 

Should give you a hint where to look …
