Difference between ServerName and ServerAlias

http://serverfault.com – I'm not quite clear on the difference between ServerName and ServerAlias. It looks like both of them work as host name settings, except that ServerAlias only works within the <VirtualHost> tag. That is, I can do: ServerName www.domain1.com ServerName www.domain2.com or: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.domain1.com ServerName www.domain2.com </VirtualHost> and both domains work on the same box. Can I use either ServerName or ServerAlias in this case? (HowTos)

I am struggling with this all the day, no answer i found here as well. Please advice how to setup proper a subdomain i need.

My Apache config has 2 domains configured (on same IP), for the domain2.com i need to setup a sub-domain. Here is what i have so far, but the subdomain keeps redirecting me to domain2.com (main site).

I have a server at home that I plan to use to host two websites using Apache, I bought two domains and made them go to my server IP, but the problem is that it only works for one of them, if I enter domain1.com it goes to /domain1, if I enter domain2.com it still goes to /domain1.

This is my configs for them, I did this by reading some tutorials and such..

I configured Apache with a CacheRoot directory for each of my domains / virtual hosts:

<VirtualHost> ServerName domain1.tld ... CacheRoot /var/www/vhosts/domain1.tld/httpdocs/cache ... </VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost> ServerName domain2.tld ... CacheRoot /var/www/vhosts/domain2.tld/httpdocs/cache ... </VirtualHost>

I have this up and running for quite a while and so fare it

I created new virtual host, but when I try to request it, Apache redirects me to another virtual host.

How do you host two separate Django apps, each using a different domain, on the same Apache server using mod_wsgi?

The apps use the same codebase, but each has a different settings.py file (defined as settings_domain1.py and settings_domain2.py).

I've defined an Apache conf file for each site (domain1.com and domain2.com):

domain1.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName domain1 Serve
