virtualhost custom directive problem

[ironmanjakarta]

I tried to add ServerAlias mail.mydomain.com to a custom virtual host directive file in the
/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/user/mydomain directory so if someone tries to access the domain by typing mail.domain.com it will just redirect to domain.com.

But when I run the verify_vhost_includes script is says its "broken." Is this a bug? I don't see why this is would be invalid.

Apache doesn't provide any way of testing directives within a specified context. verify_vhost_includes is testing your include using "httpd -t -f" which causes Apache to treat it as if it was the main httpd.conf file. If you have an include with a single ServerAlias directive, this type of test will cause an error like this:

ServerAlias only used in <VirtualHost>

I wouldn't worry about it. Your include fine is fine. It's the test that's not reliable here.

Thank you very much for the help.

That'd be better handled as a parked domain

Ah! Ok I'll try that then. Sounds easier too. :-)
