Topic: Problem with Virtual Hosting on linux/apache2

[treefit]

Hi,

I'm pretty new to apache.

I'm trying to install a VH using these instructions 'http://www.debuntu.org/2006/02/22/7-virtual-hosting-using-apache-2' but when try to '$sudo vi example.com.conf' to create a file for the 'sites-available' folder - the machine froze at the editor.

I tried to create the file on my pc and ftp it in - but the result was that the vh didn't work. I'm not sure if the vi editing is the issue - if you have an idea, I'd love to hear it.

Here is what the hosts file looks like:

<VirtualHost dev.60minutebankruptcy.com>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
#We want to be able to access the web site using www.dev.example.com or dev.example.com
ServerAlias www.dev.60minutebankruptcy.com
DocumentRoot /etc/limesurvey
#if using awstats
ScriptAlias /awstats/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
#we want specific log file for this server
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>



Thanks

Alex

Thanks but my httpd.conf is blank - seem slike all the data is in the apache2.conf file.

Also, I don't see 'httpd-vhosts.conf' - do you know what else that might be called?

Thanks

2.0.63 you do not have the vhost file, that is for 2.2, my fault sorry. The object is still the same however. In the single file style, regardless of filename, vhosts are at the bottom.

The point I try to stress is to duplicate the "main host" as the first vhost after the NameVirtualHost *:80 line.

Also understand, even though you only have the one file, you could make a file called httpd-vhosts.conf or any name, and Include it in from the main configuration file.

@Gregg why do you think it is 2.0 apache? For the folder structure I think you can take a look at http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DistrosDefaultLayout#Debian.2C_Ubuntu_.28Apache_2.29:

Cause I'm a Wintard I guess, I have gotten used to apache (1.x), apache2 (2.0) and apache22 (2.2) since that is how it comes out of the compiler by default on Windoze.

Need to sticky a separate thread with that link in it, then the Linuxs folk can use it to translate my Windows instructions

That also reminds me I need to upgrade Fedora to lucky 13 where hopefully everything works properly again.
