green as grass

index.php and index.html r not working in DocumentRoot , site1 or g:/websites

DocumentRoot "g:/wamp/www/"
<Directory "g:/wamp/www/">


I enabled "Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf" in the "httpd.conf" file.



I added this to the "httpd-vhosts.conf"

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "g:/websites"

ErrorLog g:/websites/logs/error.log
CustomLog g:/websites/logs/access.log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site1
DocumentRoot "g:/websites/site1

ErrorLog "g:/websites/logs/error.log"
CustomLog "g:/websites/logs/access.log common" common
</VirtualHost>



I added this ti the "hosts" file

127.0.0.1 site1
127.0.0.1 site2
127.0.0.1 site3

G:/websites/site1/logs
G:/websites/site2/logs
G:/websites/site3/logs

If I change DocumentRoot "g:/wamp/www/" and
<Directory "g:/wamp/www/"> to g:\websites, Apache turns yellow

What did I do wrong.



Thanks for anticipated help

[James Blond]

in every vhost Block you need to set the permissions for the doc root
and you need to have different log file names.

e.g.

[rob62]

I don't understand this:

ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "g:/websites/site1"


I would think the ServerName would be the same as the sitename, in this example,


ServerName site1
DocumentRoot "g:/websites/site1"

[James Blond]

Sorry, I didn't see that you have your logs in different folder.
And you are right. the server name should be site1 in that example.
I only copied that ffrom another httpd.conf and didn't change that. I've over seen it.

Does it work now?

[rob62]

Thanks for replying

No, only if I disable virt hosts in httpd.conf

[rob62]

After a little reworking here's what I have.

After enabling virtual hosts, php files no longer run.

Log files have zero bytes.

all information is going to original error.log without errors.

PHP file shows Something is wrong with the wamp installation


NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>

hosts file

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 skip

[James Blond]

Where in your httpd.conf did you define PHP? Can you reach the different hosts? What is on the "main" error.log ?

[rob62]

This is the only line pertaining to PHP

LoadModule php5_module "g:/wamp/bin/php/php5.2.5/php5apache2_2.dll"

index.html works in each vir host

None of the index.php files work



http://localhost shows

Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this server.

[James Blond]

You also need to assosiate the files with PHP

e.g.
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

[rob62]

Thanks, but that didn't work. I added code to end of httpd.conf file.

Every command line

httpd://localhost
httpd://skip

gives:

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server."



apache_error.log indicates php already running.

403 is a persmission error!! Not an PHP error!
look into your vhost error logs.

make sure that the path of DocumentRoot "g:/websites" and <Directory is the same.
Secondly I don't think that it is an good idea to have a website as a subfolder into a other doc root

e.g.
DocumentRoot "g:/websites"
DocumentRoot "g:/websites/skip"

[rob62]

Do you mean to make each site like this?

g:\skip
g:\site2
g:\site3

Update!!!

I almost got it working.


Wait till I make another post.

[rob62]

[sawo]

Here is how i use the vhosts:

httpd-vhosts.conf:

[James Blond]

it is not recommend to have the dicretory outside the vhost.

e.g.

[rob62]

Thanks sawyo, I think I better got with james blond with a little more
experience.

Going back 2-3 posts, this is for a server on my computer.

It is installed at g:\wamp


I believe your example was written for a remote server.

Heres what I have:

G:\local host
g:\skip
Aliases created for both


<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot G:/localhost/
ServerName localhost
ErrorLog G:/localhost/logs/error.log
CustomLog G:/localhost/logs/access.log common
<Directory "g:/localhost">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin me@sandbox
DocumentRoot g:/skip
ServerName skip
ServerAlias g:/skip/
ErrorLog G:/skip/logs/error.log
CustomLog G:/skip/logs/access.log common
<Directory "g:/skip">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>



g:\localhost

[sawo]

Your syntax for the vhosts is totally incorrect. Check what values we have used for server alias and the other settings in our examples above.

What do you mean remote server?
My example was for normal virtual host using directory on the local server for example:
main server domain.com, virtual host - something.domain.com
If you need simple alias then you don't even need virtual host in first place (the syntax you used is incorrect for virtual host).
If you want localhost/somedir to point somewhere, then you need the directory settings applied and simple alias:

[rob62]

Thanks sawo, for responding.
I tried your script, moving the permissions block to vir host file. Didn't work.


I better make it clear that the server is on my desktop.

The log files have the same name but are in different directories. Each site has its own log files.

James Blond, You posted some script in previous post concerning PHP in the Httpd.conf file. I tried it and apache_error.log gave a couple error messages saying it was already loaded and exited so I took it out.

Here's everything on the same page.


I installed wamp package.

g:\wamp\


hosts file

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 skip


vir host

I checked very carefully for empty spaces.

NameVirtualHost *:80


<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot g:/localhost
ErrorLog g:/localhost/logs/error.log
CustomLog g:/localhost/logs/access.log common
<Directory "g:/localhost/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName skip
DocumentRoot g:/skip
ErrorLog g:/skip/logs/error.log
CustomLog g:/skip/logs/access.log common
<Directory "g:/skip/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


Below is what was produced.

g://localhost/ brings up g:/localhost/wamp/

g://localhost/index.php brings up

[sawo]

I tried your syntax for the skip vhost and it works flawlessly.
Did you created the g:/skip/logs/ directory?
What happens when you type http://skip/ ?
You schuldnt call the url using g://localhost/ - use http://localhost instead.
btw im using AppServ.

[rob62]

typo error!

I used http://

The directories are all there. I modified the index.html in each dir so I know what file is showing on the screen.

I forgot to mention vir hosts is enabled in httpd.conf

skip does exactly the same as localhost.

system variables shows:

g:\wampserver\bin\php\php5.2.5

2 errors in line above!!!

g:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6


It acts like these dirs are not in the "path".
