[ec2-beta] Virtual Hosts with Apache2

[Michael Greenly]

There's nothing unique about EC2 in respect to any of this.

If it's falling through the default location it means it's not finding a
match.

You will want to make sure that each domain name you want to use with this
instance has record pointing to the instances IP address.

You can do an "nslookup mydomain.com" to check this

You will want to make sure that you have a virtualhost configuration that
includes a servername or serveralias directive.

<virtualhost *:80>
  servername www.example.com
  serveralias  example.com

  ....

</virtualhost>

<virtualhost *:80>
  servername www.someplace.com
  serveralias  www.someplace.net

 ....

</virtual>

Also make sure that your configuration modifications are enabled.  Each
configuration should be in it's own file inside the
/etc/apache2/sites-available directory.  Then you'd use a2ensite to enable
it.  If you're not familiar with this I'd look around the web for some
tutorials about configuring Apache in Ubuntu or Debian.

Hope that helps some.
