Have to gettin' bored with all the vhost questions, but I cant seem to figure this out!

I'm trying to host my own homepages (2) and have the dns for the domains pointing at my IP adress. I have then set up my httpd-vhost file setup like this.

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site1.com
ServerAlias www.site1.com
DocumentRoot C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site2.com
ServerAlias www.site2.com
DocumentRoot C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com
</VirtualHost>

Everything else I havent touched.

Now, everytime I try to call on one of the sites e.g. www.site1.com or www.site2.com from a computer outside my router environment it directs me to the rootfolder og htdocs e.g. xampp for windows startpage!?

Can't figure out where I'm going wrong...Somebody please help me!

DocumentRoot C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1.com

Hmm, this is your main concern right here, that is not pointing to no directory..

try:

Code: Select all: DocumentRoot C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1/

where site1 is a folder..

If you create the following folders in each site directory (site1.com & site2.com directories) : cgi-bin, logs, errors you can use the following VirtualHost. Also paths that have spaces in them need to be quoted.

Code: Select all: # # Virtual Hosts # # If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your # machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations # use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about # IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below. # # Please see the documentation at # <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/> # for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts. # # You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host # configuration. # # Use name-based virtual hosting. # NameVirtualHost *:80 # # VirtualHost example: # Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container. # The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not # match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block. # <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName site1.com ServerAdmin webmaster@site1.com ServerAlias www.site1.com DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1.com" <Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1.com"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all AddType text/html .shtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .html .htm .shtml .shtm </Directory> <Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1.com/logs"> Deny from all </directory> HostnameLookups Off ErrorLog "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1.com/logs/error.log" LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent CustomLog "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1.com/logs/access.log combined" ServerSignature On ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1.com/cgi-bin/" <Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1.com/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml index.shtm AccessFileName .htaccess <FilesMatch "^\.ht"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </FilesMatch> AddHandler cgi-script .cgi <IfModule mod_negotiation> <IfModule mod_include> Alias /errors/ "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1.com/errors/" <Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1.com/errors"> AllowOverride None Options IncludesNoExec AddHandler type-map var Order allow,deny Allow from all LanguagePriority en </Directory> </IfModule> </IfModule> ErrorDocument 400 /errors/400.html ErrorDocument 401 /errors/401.html ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.html ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.html ErrorDocument 405 /errors/405.html ErrorDocument 408 /errors/408.html ErrorDocument 410 /errors/410.html ErrorDocument 411 /errors/411.html ErrorDocument 412 /errors/412.html ErrorDocument 413 /errors/413.html ErrorDocument 414 /errors/414.html ErrorDocument 415 /errors/415.html ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.html ErrorDocument 501 /errors/501.html ErrorDocument 502 /errors/502.html ErrorDocument 503 /errors/503.html ErrorDocument 506 /errors/506.html </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName site2.com ServerAdmin webmaster@site2.com ServerAlias www.site2.com DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com" <Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all AddType text/html .shtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .html .htm .shtml .shtm </Directory> <Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/logs"> Deny from all </directory> HostnameLookups Off ErrorLog "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/logs/error.log" LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent CustomLog "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/logs/access.log combined" ServerSignature On ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/cgi-bin/" <Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml index.shtm AccessFileName .htaccess <FilesMatch "^\.ht"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </FilesMatch> AddHandler cgi-script .cgi <IfModule mod_negotiation> <IfModule mod_include> Alias /errors/ "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/errors/" <Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/errors"> AllowOverride None Options IncludesNoExec AddHandler type-map var Order allow,deny Allow from all LanguagePriority en </Directory> </IfModule> </IfModule> ErrorDocument 400 /errors/400.html ErrorDocument 401 /errors/401.html ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.html ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.html ErrorDocument 405 /errors/405.html ErrorDocument 408 /errors/408.html ErrorDocument 410 /errors/410.html ErrorDocument 411 /errors/411.html ErrorDocument 412 /errors/412.html ErrorDocument 413 /errors/413.html ErrorDocument 414 /errors/414.html ErrorDocument 415 /errors/415.html ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.html ErrorDocument 501 /errors/501.html ErrorDocument 502 /errors/502.html ErrorDocument 503 /errors/503.html ErrorDocument 506 /errors/506.html </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName localhost DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs" </VirtualHost>

I tryid the example above, but still got the same outcome. It still directs me to the xampp root folder (localhost) and asks me to login. I'ts tearing me apart... Any idea?

by **WorldDrknss** » 05. March 2007 09:54

Are you making sure to restart Apache once you have made these changes?

by **jmansa** » 05. March 2007 11:09

Finally!!! It works. It was the restart thingy! I encountered one problem though! When I pasted this part of the above code my apache wouldnt restart?

Code: Select all: HostnameLookups Off ErrorLog "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/logs/error.log" LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent CustomLog "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/logs/access.log combined" ServerSignature On ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/cgi-bin/" <Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

Also I have a problem seing the pages from inside my router from another computer... When on my webserver writes "localhost/site1.com" it shows the page perfect, but when I try to acces the page from another computer on my network by typing "192.168.1.???/site1.com" I get this error!

Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 404
192.168.1.???
03/05/07 11:07:11
Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8d mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.1

Any idea?

One question more... How is it possible to make a index.html overrule a index.php? as it is now my index.php always gets shown

Thanks alot

Change:

Code: Select all: HostnameLookups Off ErrorLog "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/logs/error.log" LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent CustomLog "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/logs/access.log combined" ServerSignature On ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/cgi-bin/" <Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

To

Code: Select all: HostnameLookups Off ErrorLog "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/logs/error.log" LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent CustomLog "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/logs/access.log" combined ServerSignature On ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/cgi-bin/" <Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

Then change:

Code: Select all: DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml index.shtm

To:

Code: Select all: DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.htm index.shtml index.shtm

Then change:

Code: Select all: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName localhost DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs" </VirtualHost>

To:

Code: Select all: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName localhost DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs" <Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost>

and see how that works out for you.
Also make sure the following exists.

Code: Select all: C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1.com/cgi-bin C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1.com/logs C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site1.com/errors C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/cgi-bin C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/logs C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/site2.com/errors

That help allthough I still can't see the pages within the network. Now I get an "http 404"?

by **WorldDrknss** » 05. March 2007 23:32

Is there a reason you need to access it via IP vs. the domain name?
You may want to give this a try:
On the machine your trying to get onto the site open

Code: Select all: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

and change it to look similar to whats below.

Code: Select all: # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.* site1.com 192.168.1.* site2.com

Make sure to replace * with the last number for that IP. <- also double check that your server is set to static ip instead of windows default dynamic ip.

Then access your site via http://site1.com and http://site2.com -> this will let you access your site within network using the actual domain name.
