Setup:
Apache 2.2
Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit
Internal DNS used on the network
First, I set up Apache and got the default site/directory working. I had my network admin make a DNS entry for "Wiki" so I could use that as a Virtual Host.
As soon as I added the virtual host, no content would display - acted like it was trying to find the server and eventually died. When I commented-out the Virtual Host file, it would immediately hit the server.
At this point, I re-added the Virtual Host again and commented-out all of its contents and added lines one-by-one. Until I get to the Directory Permissions, I get "error 403". When I add "Allow from all", it goes back to not finding the server. Here's the Virtual Host definition:
| Code: | <VirtualHost 192.200.2.21:80>
ServerAdmin my_email@site.com
DocumentRoot "D:/Apps/Wiki"
ServerName wiki
<Directory "D:/Apps/Wiki">
Options Includes Indexes FollowSymLinks
# Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost> |
Anybody have any ideas? |

You missed the Order
e.g.
| Code: |
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all

On Apache restart: "The requested operation has failed!"
Yeah, I don't have ORDER on any of my virtual hosts at home on my Linux machine.
-=[EDIT]=-
I found that there was a space after "Allow," and Apache didn't like that. So I restarted again and it started - but still acts like it can't find the server. |

So if that isn't that issue. What is in your error log about it?
What about the permission in the file system. Can the user you run apache with acces that directory? |

First, thanks for the help, James. I'll post what happened for posterity. Maybe someone can benefit from this someday.
Ok, I created new, empty directories and put an index.php in each one with a different title and created a virtualhost for each. I had my network admin add dns entries for them both to point to the server. So, now when you type "wiki" into your browser, it sends you to the server.
Individually, each virtualhost entry functions correctly, and I can access that directory. So, not a file system permissions issue. Then, when I place both virtual hosts into the config file, only the FIRST entry listed comes up.
This is what I did wrong: in testing the virtualhosts, I put them in the main httpd.conf file, which is fine. But because I hadn't used the vhosts file, I was missing the "NameVirtualHost" entry.
So, as far as the original issue goes, it looks like a php issue with the content I had in there - migrating a wiki to a new machine. Error 403 is all the feedback I can find in the error and/or access logs.
Anyway, thanks again for your effort! |
