Apache 2.0 VirtualHost help? - RunUO

TMSTKSBK · 06-18-2005, 04:57 PM

Greetings!
Since you guys are the most technically proficient people I "know"...I was wondering if some of you could help me with Apache 2's vhosting features.

I have four websites that I want to map to four folders in my htdocs folder. I'm running WinXP. (yes a webserver not on Linux...sue me) Anyhow, after reading Apache's notes on how to do this, SAMS's notes on how to do this, and trying every configuration I can imagine...it doesn't work.

Yarr.

Sooo...I've been trying to get this to work for about a year now, and it never has.

If one of you guys has Apache2 and knows what the heck I'm talking about, and knows how to make it work, I'd really appreciate some example code and some explanation.

Thanks a lot!
TMS

Post the documentation and I will try to help.

Please only post the documentation on the topic, otherwise I won't go to the effort of reading it.

TMSTKSBK · 06-18-2005, 05:07 PM

Documentation on the topic can be found at:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/
Documentation on the specific type of vhost I am trying to implement (name-based) is at:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/name-based.html

Phantom · 06-18-2005, 05:29 PM

Do you mind posting your httpd.conf for us?

TMSTKSBK · 06-18-2005, 05:45 PM

I will post the relevant parts... (sans identifiable info)

# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
#NameVirtualHost *:80

NameVirtualHost *:80

# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *:80>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
# ServerName dummy-host.example.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost *:80>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@site1.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/folder1"
DirectoryIndex index.html
ServerName site1.com
ErrorLog logs/site1.com-error_log
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@site2.net
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/folder2"
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
ServerName site2.net
ErrorLog logs/site2.net-error_log
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@site3.net
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/folder3"
DirectoryIndex index.html
ServerName site3.net
ErrorLog logs/site3.net-error_log
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@site4.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/folder4"
DirectoryIndex index.php
ServerName site4.com
ErrorLog logs/site4.com-error_log
</VirtualHost>

UseCanonicalName is off currently.
DocumentRoot overall is "htdocs"
It doesn't give me any errors...it just doesn't work.

TMSTKSBK · 06-18-2005, 05:55 PM

BTW...sorry. Adding *:80 to all the <VirtualHost> directives doesn't do anything...Just makes it madder.

Phantom · 06-18-2005, 05:55 PM

Can you post what the links would be?

Perhaps its for a different reason other then its not working :-)

TMSTKSBK · 06-18-2005, 05:57 PM

I was trying to avoid that for the no-ad policy.
The links would be:
www.tmstksbk.com
www.tmproductions.net
www.csquarenet.net
The last one is semi-personal...so let's not mess with it yet...please.

And now I'm embarassed...cause the links all point to an ancient site I did...two-three years ago.

Fixed that. Points to a newer site-in-progress.

So now it's giving me a warning! Hey...it started doing SOMETHING.

"[warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 80, the first has precedence"
(from the error.log file)

Fixes?

Phantom · 06-18-2005, 06:45 PM

Are they all suppose to be the same website?

Because all those links work, but they are all the same website.

tells me you might have the same files in all the files.

Clearly asking for help, and posting links to your website, is within the rules if its in starbucks since its not RunUO connected.

TMSTKSBK · 06-18-2005, 07:29 PM

They're not supposed to be the same website...that's the problem. The folders do not have the same files inside, nor even the same file types (some php, some html).

If they were all supposed to be the same website, this would be buttloads easier...just map them all to the same IP in the domainpanel.

Could you post what you actaully have, because I am sure

Quote:

ServerName site1.com
ErrorLog logs/site1.com-error_log

isn't right :-)

Does Apache offer any sort of support?

TMSTKSBK · 06-19-2005, 12:01 AM

Not really. It's free :P

I'm Googling some of the errors...I might be back in a bit. Haven't found anything helpful yet.
