Apache Friends Support Forum

Evening,

So, i have looked over a lot of threads on here about this but doesn't seem to solve it for me

I have a few web projects located in the below which has worked fine.

C:\Users\user\Desktop\XAMPP\htdocs\XXXXXX

I tried to add a virtual host but then couldn't access anything for my custom projects but the main XAMPP landing page will load at C:\Users\user\Desktop\XAMPP\htdocs

I reverted all my changes, restarted the PC and also clean install of XMAPP but no luck

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "C:\Users\user\Desktop\XAMPP\htdocs\xxxxx"

Morning All,

I have managed to get the home page to load now by changing

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/public_html"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/public_html">

but the sub pages i just get "object not found" in browser but no errors in the error log.

Hi,

What is the contents of the Apache access.log file?

Best wishes,
Altrea

That is not the access.log, that is the error.log you showed us.

sorry my fault

really appreciate your help

Okay, so you don't want to show us your "Object not found" error, because that should be written as HTTP Status 404 NOT 403 in your access.log.
But anyway.

The reason for your client denied by server configuration is, that you changed the DocumentRoot and Directory access rule to the subdirectory public_html, but only for HTTP requests.
You are trying to request by HTTPS/SSL. This is a different DocumentRoot defined in \ampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf and still routes to htdocs.
But it uses the same Directory directive you changed in your httpd.conf file. So you want to request files in htdocs but don't have the access rights for this files, just for the subdirectory public_html.

Either use http requests, or change the ssl configuration too.

HI Altrea,

at this stage that is all that is in my access file, its not that i have hidden any information.

but i have change it so the directory is now the root folder then browse to the Public_html file i get this...

So i would need to change the path in both files to get it use SSL to match live envio?

i do appreciate your help

Depends.
The best way would be using a VirtualHost so you don't need to touch the default DocumentRoot and Directory. You would define your own one for your needs.

Sorry but i am still struggling.

i have added to the vrtual hosts as below and home page loads (for both hosts even though the backend host is meant to load a different file) but still when i route to a subpage i get the Object not found.

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/public_html"
    ServerName localhost.com
    ServerAlias www.localhost.com
    ErrorLog "logs/localhost.com-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/localhost.com.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/public_html/backend"
    ServerName backend.localhost.com
    ServerAlias www.backend.localhost.com
    ErrorLog "logs/backend.localhost.com-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/backend.localhost.com.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

access:

::1 - - [01/Apr/2020:16:03:28 +0100] "GET /site/about HTTP/1.1" 404 1171

ok great got all the links working now!

but the backend virtualhost seems to just view the root folder.

And what does that mean??

Sorry .. Made sense in my mind!!

my virtualhost looks like this:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/public_html/backend"
    ServerName backend.localhost.com
    ServerAlias www.backend.localhost.com
</VirtualHost>

but rather than going to "C:/xampp/htdocs/public_html/backend" here it goes to "C:/xampp/htdocs/public_html" which is the main domain not the sub

That usually means an error in the VirtualHost declaration.

Did you add every domain and subdomain to your hosts file?
