General :: Apache Virtual Host Document Root ?
Sep 9, 2009
I'm now configuring my web server to server different Virtual Hosts based on DNS name. Right now I store my files in /var/www per the default installation settings in Apache.
Questions:
I want to change the Document Root to /home/username/public_html/example1.dyndns.org for the second virtual server. What do the permissions need to be in order for Apache to read the files in this location? Would it be best to force Apache to run as this new username instead of www-data?
My Virtual host setup will look something like this
I want to change the DocumentRoot as I am running a chrooted ProFTPd server and want to be able to update webserver files via FTP. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server (CLI only).

I have set up apache on Centos 5.5 and am struggling with vhosts set up.With the config I have set apache will correctly serve sites with a document root of
/var/www/html/home/myuser/public_html
but not /home/myuser/projects > ls -al
shows public_html and projects as having identical permissions (755)

I've set my document root directory in httpd.conf to the directory I want to serve files out of, and set Options to Indexes FollowSymLinks; I've saved the configuration file and restarted apache, yet when I direct my browser to the domain name that's seated there, I can't get at my index.html which exists there. It serves index.html when it exists in the natural document root.

I'm having some basic doubt! Consider 5 virtual domains has configured under a same server. I mean 5 different domains under same IP. Eg. mydomain1.com and mydomain2.com have IP 208.27.1.89. So when web browser request for mydomain1.com name server return IP address 208.27.1.89. Then browser contact IP 208.27.1.89 on port 80. Here comes my question how does apache know that the browser is looking for mydomain1.com not mydomain2.com. How apache differentiate the request for it's virtual hosts? By the way, what is a virtualhost ?

apache virtual host to limit the concurrent connections of virtual hosts? Taking into account the host of each virtual user's home directory can also have more than one subdirectory, which should be restricted to a subdirectory. Is beyond the control of the operation of these sites in a subdirectory. Best local restrictions or limitations to the overall situation.

I am upgrading my server and I have a lot of sites. Since I cannot take my server down for a few days, maybe a week until I manage to migrate all the sites to the new machine, I figured I could migrate them one by one. After migrating one, I would somehow tunnel the requests of that name virtual host to my internal machine. When everything is migrated, I would then switch the machines, update ip's and stuff and everything will work just fine.
However I cannot seem to find a way to do this tunneling. is this at all possible? If not, what alternatives do I have?

I have a VPS (Mosso Cloud Server) that is administered and monitored by Platinum Server Mgmt. I have CentOS 5 and Apache 2.2 installed.I requested that my Document Root be set to /var/www/JPDemole.com/ and also a subdomain setup to /var/www/test.JPDemole.com/
They responded by telling me that it would, "[This would] cause a problem with the permissions and that it will be a permissions conflict if you set them to /var/www/. For security and compatibility purposes, they should be in /home/username/.... It can be put anywhere in there."
This is the first time I've been involved with any server administration, but while coding on numerous private vps's before, they had a setup similar to what I was requesting.Am I incorrect in my understanding of the previous situations and the Mgmt company is in fact correct?

I've had apache installed for a couple of years with no problem but this morning I thought I would change the apache document root to my secondary disk so that my WAMP setup in my Windows partition and LAMP could share the same files. I've edited the etc/apache2/sites-available file to point it to the new location of my document root but I am getting a 403 - forbidden "You don't have permission to access / on this server." error when I try to load files through the browser. I'm not sure if this is a permissions issue or the way I've edited the sites-available config.
Here is the new sites available config:
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /media/Data/webroot
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None .....

Just set up a virtual host on a different port: 50085. accessing this port always returns me to 'It Works!' page.
The setup:
1. added 'Listen 50085' in ports.conf
2. added a <VirtualHost *:50085></VirtualHost> the content are the same with the site that works with a <VirtualHost *:80>
3. /etc/hosts contains the ip address and the servername
4. apache server has been configtest ok and restarted.
Anything I forgot to configure? How to troubleshoot --> I don't get any data on error log file.

I have 4 domains registered through godaddy. I have a dell poweredge box with one static IP hosted somewhere. I want the 4 domain to resolve to four different sites. I have already created 4 different sites in apache with four different aliases and has enabled it.
eg
alias /a /var/www/a
alias /b /var/www/b
alias /c /var/www/c
I want to acomplish.
www.a.com ==> xx.xx.xx.xx/a
www.b.com ==> xx.xx.xx.xx/b
www.c.com ==> xx.xx.xx.xx/c
I tried with godaddys forward with masking option. It works but I can't hide xx.xx.xx.xx/a in the links. Whats the best approach? One limitation is I cannot use the webhosts name servers. How do I set this up with name based virtual hosting? Do I setup a DNS server in the box?
I do have a dns host name for my box which is publicy accessible. Some my.ca.examplehost.net

I'm using Apache 2.2 to host multiple subdomains using a single SSL certificate (a wildcard certificate e.g. *.mydomain.com) and, yes, it works! Everything seems to be served correctly and the browsers are pretty happy.
And you can also have the non-SSL sites (virtual hosts on port 80) on the same IP. (That's covered elsewhere)
For those that want similar functionality here's my discovery...
My configuration is like this:
ssl.conf:
Code:
I would have to say that I don't believe that this will work if you are not using a wildcard SSL certificate and having anything other than subdomains under that wildcard.
It is somewhat limited in scenario where this is useful, but for a set of company websites that should be under SSL, this can be tremedously useful when you have a single IP.

I'm running XAMPP 1.7.2 on Ubuntu 8.10 (Linux dt19.im.local 2.6.27-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 16:25:45 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux) and am using the PHP 5.3.0 Apache module as standard. For one virtual host I'd like to use PHP 5.2.X as it is part of a project which has a lot of legacy code which is not compatible with PHP 5.3.0. The virtual host configuration block and the applicable directory directive are as follows -
Code:
Checking phpinfo() output on the above virtual host (or using the default virtual host directive and accessing it via http://localhost/[SNIP]/[SNIP]/phpinfo.php rather than [url] shows PHP 5.3.0 is running. After applying minor tweaks such as adding ScriptAlias or SetEnv options the problem persists. I've Googled for a good while and have checked the permissions and the like and tried the advice of other users (XAMPP or otherwise) either resulting in PHP 5.3.0 being used or a HTTP 400 bad request/invalid URI error. I've stuck with the configuration above as this is correct according to the PHP manual.
FYI cgi-bin/php-5.2.6 is a soft symbolic link to /opt/lampp/bin/php-5.2.6 (I've added the FollowSymLinks option to the cgi-bin directory directive in httpd.conf). I've tried installing php5-cgi from the Ubuntu repos and setting it up in a similar way, to no avail. I've also tried copying the executables into the cgi-bin directory, pointing the Action line directly to bin/php-5.2.6 and dropping the -c /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini-pre1.7.2 option in the Action line. I've even tried commenting out the LoadModule lines for PHP which results in a HTTP 400 bad request/invalid URI error. This demonstrates the fact that the PHP CGI use is being ignored.
I've checked httpd.conf and the extra/httpd-*.conf files and ensured all required includes are being loaded. I know that it's probably something stupid on my part which is causing this! Given that I've tried PHP CGI builds in the Ubuntu repos I don't think this is an XAMPP-specific issue.

One of our Apache servers, version 2.2.3, is running three virtual hosts on it. However, while two are accessible, gray.mgh.harvard.edu, www.plastimatch.org, the third, cmrol.mgh.harvard.edu cannot be reached by any remote host.
I am at a loss as to why this is occurring. To that end, I am including the httpd.conf file as an attachment in the hopes someone can see what I missed, and help correct this issue.

How do I define the default virtual host to be served on port 80?
I have different configuration files in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ that look more or less like this:
Plus I have the namevirtualhost:80 in httpd.conf
For some reason if I connect to port 80 using the IP address or an alias not defined anywhere in apache config, the first domain configured (first alphabetically a-to-z) answers the call.
Is there any way to overwride this and set a default site?
Basically I'd like to answer with the right configuration if a precise site pre-configured is called on port 80, but if not I would like to redirect to a "default site"

I installed apache server on my Fedora 12. Its showing the test page 127.0.0.1, but when I give the address 97.168.234.76 (0r www.chaalu-kam.com), it tells that the requested url could not be retrieved.
I have made the following additions to the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file

I am trying to set up an Apache2 virtual host to test sites I make from my own computer.
I used this guide to set up my LAMP and vHost, The LAMP stack seems to be working great, but I run into some problems when I try to set up a vHost
As described in the guide I
1. made a new directory in my home folder /home/[myname]/www/test.dev to put my site in (it currently contains a simple index.html file as a test).
2. In /etc/apache2/sites-available I copied the file "default" and renamed it "test.dev"
3. I edited the content of "test.dev" to look like this:
Code:
4. I enabled the site using the command "sudo a2ensite test.dev". I then restarted apache "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload".
5. I edited the hosts file: "sudo gedit /etc/hosts" to look like this:
Code:
6. I restarted apache "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload".
Now if I enter "http://test.dev" in my firefox's adress bar I just get the apache2 "It works!" site. What is going wrong to cause firefox to show the "It works!" page rather then my own test site?

I'm trying to figure out why Apache is ignoring SSL Cipher statements when placed inside a Virtual Host. Specifically I'm trying to disable SSLv2 and only allow SSLv3 or TLSv1
In httpd-ssl.conf I have the following
Code:
And when I try and connect, I get the expected results.
Quote:
In my virtual host statement I have
Code:
The only difference between the two is the httpd-ssl.conf has -ALL in the CIPHER, and the virtual host entry has ALL. However if I try and change the ALL statement in the virtual host entry to -ALL I get the following error in my logs & get no content.
Quote:
Why it's not working in the virtual host statement? Unfortunately as many of you are probably aware it's impossible to gain PCI certification with SSLv2 enabled.

I am having two domains. for ex: www.example1.com and www.example2.com. These two domains need to be hosted under one ip. Yes by configuring name based virtual host we can do that. But, my question is my first domain(www.example1.com) need to be hosted by Apache web server, and my second domain(www.example2.com) need to be hosted by Tomact. Is it possible to configure name based virtual host for a scenario like this.

I am on mac os x and whenever I make aliases in my apache config file to point to folders outside of main web document root folder, I get access forbidden. I have chmod -R 777 the whole destination directory (to test it) and still no go. Access forbidden. I have also tried pointing directly to [URL].

I've set up a server running Ubuntu 10.10 (desktop) with apache. Problem is: When I try to configure multiple virtual hosts I can only access the first one. I'm sure that I'm missing something basic in my setup, but I cannot seem to figure out what.
What I want is simply two virtual hosts, one only available on the LAN where I can test my php files and one "live" available from the outside.
Heres what I've done:
Installed Apache2.2
Copy /etc/apache2/sites-available/default -> /etc/apache2/sites-available/dev
Modified "dev" config DocumentRoot and Document to point to /var/www/dev
Modified "dev" config VirtualHost to <VirtualHost *:1337> (port change right?)
Modified "default" config DocumentRoot and Document to point to /var/www/live
[Code].....
Live works fine, but dev cannot connect (as if there is no server there).

I was trying to setup SSL Client authentication on only one virtual host. Here is a brief excerpt sample of my conf file for the virtual host:
<VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx:443>
SSLRequire %{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_O} eq "something"
SSLVerifyClient require
SSLVerifyDepth 2
</VirtualHost>
But when I try to check for syntax errors tells me SSLRequire not allowed here I do not want to add SSLRequire on the main httpd.conf because I only want it for one virtual host. The rest of the virtual hosts do not need it.

I'm trying to install two instances of OCS Inventory on the same machine using virtual hosts in apache. The apache configuration for it is in it's own file and it works fine without any virtual host. If I add it apache refuses to start without giving any error message. I narrowed it down to some lines loading perl modules, and if I comment them away apache will start again. Some of the modules work, but some of the ones specific to OCS Inventory will not work. I can't understand what the difference is between loading it in a virtual host or not, it doesn't make any sense to me!
