Hello, I am having some issues setting up my virtualhost server. Each location will load on its own if I set it as the default; however no matter what address I use, it will only load the first "books-a-daisy.localhost"... eg: localhost/ loads books-a-daisy; kiosk.localhost/ loads books-a-daisy.
My .conf file is default except for these additions.
httpd.conf
| Code: |
ServerName 127.0.0.1:80
DocumentRoot "C://www/localhost"
#ErrorLog "C://www/logs/error.log"
#LogLevel warn
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "C://www/localhost">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<VirtualHost localhost>
ServerName books-a-daisy.localhost
DocumentRoot "C://www/localhost/books-a-daisy"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost localhost>
ServerName heresytheory.localhost
DocumentRoot "C://www/localhost/ht2"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost localhost>
ServerName rac.localhost
DocumentRoot "C://www/localhost/rac"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost localhost>
ServerName kiosk.localhost
DocumentRoot "C://www/localhost/kiosk"
</VirtualHost>
|
hosts
| Code: |
127.0.0.1 books-a-daisy.localhost
127.0.0.1 heresytheory.localhost
127.0.0.1 kiosk.localhost
127.0.0.1 rac.localhost
|
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

Thank you for your help. I have made those changes, and now everything now directs to the "books-a-daisy.localhost" directory... or the one I list first.
For testing, I removed this, which gives a 403.
| Code: | <Directory "C://www/localhost">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory> |

Try making the first vhost with
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/www/localhost"
</VirtualHost>
per this crazy difficult to understand note in the docs
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html
| Quote: | Main host goes away
If you are adding virtual hosts to an existing web server, you must also create a <VirtualHost> block for the existing host. The ServerName and DocumentRoot included in this virtual host should be the same as the global ServerName and DocumentRoot. List this virtual host first in the configuration file so that it will act as the default host.
|
Also note that it's either a double backslash C:\\www\\somedir or single forward slash C:/www/somedir, not double forward slash C://www/somedir as you are showing here in many places. It seems Apache is luckily ignoring this but correct is correct. |

Okay, I added the additional vhost as the first, and fixed all the backslash problems. Currently, everything directs to /localhost (the first one in the list)
This is the updated file. Thanks again for the help, this is the first time I've had to set up anything vhost related.
| Code: | <IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm
</IfModule>
ServerName 127.0.0.1:80
DocumentRoot "C:\\www\localhost"
#ErrorLog "C:\\www\logs\error.log"
#LogLevel warn
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "C:\\www\localhost">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName 127.0.0.1:80
DocumentRoot "C:\\www\localhost"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName books-a-daisy.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:\\www\localhost\books-a-daisy"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName heresytheory.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:\\www\localhost\ht2"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName rac.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:\\www\localhost\rac"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName kiosk.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:\\www\localhost\kiosk"
</VirtualHost>

ARGH! ... Tell you what ... do not use backslahes period and never, ever double up forward slash [1].
So let's just stick with this:
C:/www/localhost
C:/www/localhost/books-a-daisy
C:/www/localhost/ht2
C:/www/localhost/rac
C:/www/localhost/kiosk
C:/www/logs/error.log
I was assuming that this portion;
ServerName 127.0.0.1:80
DocumentRoot "C:\\www\localhost"
#ErrorLog "C:\\www\logs\error.log"
#LogLevel warn
was the main stuff (global) in the httpd.conf file.
If that is the case, then per that note in the docs, a minimal version of it needs to be first vhost. So, if my assumption was right, then it must be this odd slashing thing you have going on that is mucking up the works.
[1] There is only one case where you would double up the forward slash, but this is not it and to not add confusion I'm not telling you what it is  |

Well, thank you for your help. Things did not quite work out for me sadly. I'm thinking about throwing apache out as local, and building a networked server instead. That will probably make things work much easier.
Thanks again!!! |
