[SOLVED] Domain is redirected to another domain in same droplet

Issue

Well, I am new on Debian, Built server on Digital Ocean with Debian OS. I successfully added two domains into one droplet:

mysite.com
anothersite.com

Created new dir:

/home/user/www/mysite.com/public_html

and copied files to public_html

The config file inside /etc/apache2/sites-available is:

DocumentRoot /home/user/www/mysite.com/public_html

<Directory /home/user/www/mysite.com/public_html>
    Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/myproject-error.log
LogLevel warn

CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/myproject-access.log combined

Of Course, I enabled the site.

I haven't edited apache2.conf file and haven't configured 2nd domain (anothersite.com). Just added this 2nd domain to droplet, that's all.

when I enter to the site mysite.com it works perfect. But I wondered that why 2nd domain (anothersite.com) is redirected to 1st (mysite.com) domain?

By the way, I use Apache 2.4

Solution

If hostname (e.g. anothersite.com) point to the apache webserver but haven't explicitely configured a section that matches that hostname, then apache will deliver a "best match" (the first ).

so if only have a single in apache config and multiple hostnames (mysite.com and anothersite.com) point to the same machine, all of these names will display the same virtual host
