Im trying to set up a local vhost and every time I try to use a different .index in another directory, it keeps going back into the default directory (~Apache2.2\htdocs).
My httpd-vhosts.conf looks like this
| Code: | NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@site1.local
DocumentRoot "C:/vhost/www"
ServerName site1.local
ErrorLog "C:/vhost/www/error.log"
CustomLog "C:/vhost/www/access.log" common
<Directory "C:/vhost/www">
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@site2.local
DocumentRoot "C:/vhost/site2.local/web"
ServerName site2.local
ErrorLog "C:/vhost/site2.local/Site/weberror.log"
CustomLog "C:/vhost/site2.local/Site/access.log" common
<Directory "C:/vhost/site2.local/">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
|
My host file looks like this
127.0.0.1 site1.local
127.0.0.1 site2.local
From what I have gathered from this tutorial, you have to set the namevirtualhost back to localhost to get the default settings back.
If I put the site's files into the default directory as kind of like a subdirectory (~Apache2.2\htdocs\site1) I am able to locate the files without editing the httpd-vhost.conf file(http://site1.local/site1). I've also tried using *:80 as the NameVirtualHost. Is it supposed to be doing this?
I've also tried using this to allow access to the directory
| Code: | <Directory "C:/vhost/www">
Options ALL
AllowOverride ALL
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory> |

So, I made a new icon and named it favicon.ico without any other errors, but it doesn't resolve the fact that it is still looking in that directory. |

Hi,
You will not find an error on this one, the fact that it does not work as expected is simply that the first vhost must be a duplicate of the main host in httpd.conf
see "Main host goes away" here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html
Since it keeps going back to the program file location of htdocs, that must still be what the main host is in httpd.conf
So, first vhost after NameVirtualHosts 127.0.0.1:80
add
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>
Restart Apache and try after the change |

After trying this, the VHost still directs back to its original directory and not to the "C:/vhost/www" folder. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no success.
I also tried doing this:
| Code: |
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs"
ServerName localhost
ErrorLog "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\error"
CustomLog "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\custom" common
<Directory "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\">
Options ALL
AllowOverride ALL
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost> |

ARGH!! Sorry for delay! Cannot believe I did not see this sooner.
um .. if you are going to be using backslashes (\), better double them up.
Better yet, get really good and used to going into forward slash mode when dealing with Apache.
So
DocumentRoot "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs" is incorrect.
What Apache is seeing is
DocumentRoot "c:rogram Filespache Software Foundationpache2.2tdocs"
\ is an escape character
This should show up in your error log about DocumentRoot not being found ... like
Warning: DocumentRoot [c:rogram Filespache Software Foundationpache2.2tdocs] does not exist
So either:
DocumentRoot "C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Apache2.2\\htdocs"
or better
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs" using forward slashes. |
