Thanks for the feedback. I have made some changes and have been able to get some VHosts to work. Tomorrow morning I will attempt to get the main site to work. I will bring you up to date late tomorrow.

Thanks again for all your assistance.

Here are two site configurations within VHosts:

<VirtualHost *:80> ## jobs40plus.com
DocumentRoot E:/pinnacle/diversitylink/htdocs/jobs40plus/
ServerAdmin adm@diversitylink.com
ServerName jobs40plus.com
ServerAlias *.jobs40plus.com
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "E:/pinnacle/diversitylink/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "E:/pinnacle/diversitylink/htdocs/jobs40plus">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
#ErrorLog E:/pinnacle/diversitylink/logs/error.log
#CustomLog E:/pinnacle/diversitylink/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80> ## diversitylink.com
DocumentRoot E:/pinnacle/diversitylink/htdocs/diversitylink/
ServerAdmin adm@diversitylink.com
ServerName diversitylink.com
ServerAlias *.diversitylink.com
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "E:/pinnacle/diversitylink/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "E:/pinnacle/diversitylink/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
#ErrorLog E:/pinnacle/diversitylink/logs/error.log
#CustomLog E:/pinnacle/diversitylink/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Here's the problem I am experiencing;

www.jobs40plus.com and jobs40plus.com both bring up the index for that site. Note - the dns for this site points to the IP address of the new server so this can be verified at all times.

When the dns for diversitylink.com is pointed to the new server ----
www.diversitylink.com shows "There is no website here" while diversitylink.com brings up the index for the site minus images and none of the links to files or images work. Note -- links to htm and image files are addressed www.diversitylink.com/some directory/some file.

Why is www.diversitylink.com not being recognized? Both www.diversitylink.com and diversitylink.com are recognized on the old server.

Any idea as to what I am missing?

Take the ## comments off the line with the VirtualHost tag.

Thanks for the feedback. I think it helped.

Another problem ---- (Working with www.globaljobannouncements.com which is active at my new server) when calling a cgi program I get these error messages:

At the browser (an example): Forbidden -- You don't have permission to access/cgi/Argentina_bin/Argentina_functiontoc.pl on this server. Apache/2.2.11(Win32) Server at www.globaljobannouncements.com Port80

At the Apache error log: client denied by server configuration: E:/Pinnacle/GlobalJob/cgi_bin/Argentina_bin

Note --- USERS(DS42292\USERS) has read & execute permissions on the directories and files.

Here is the VHost config:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot E:/pinnacle/globaljob/htdocs
ServerAdmin adm@diversitylink.com
ServerName globaljobannouncements.com
ServerAlias *.globaljobannouncements.com
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "E:/pinnacle/globaljob/cgi-bin"
<Directory "E:/pinnacle/globaljob/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>


Note --- The User and User group listed within the HTTPD Config file is Daemon. Does this need to be changed?

Note: This problem does not exist when using the same configuration at my old server with Apache 1.3 and the same permissions.

One of these days I will get all this mess straightened out. As always your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "E:/pinnacle/globaljob/cgi-bin"

Like you did earlier (in httpd.conf) you need to allow access to
E:/pinnacle/globaljob/cgi-bin

look at the one in httpd.conf, <Directory ...> right after the ScriptAlias' in it.

Here's what I've got now:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot E:/pinnacle/globaljob/htdocs
ServerAdmin adm@diversitylink.com
ServerName globaljobannouncements.com
ServerAlias *.globaljobannouncements.com
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "E:/pinnacle/globaljob/cgi-bin/"

<Directory "E:/pinnacle/globaljob/cgi-gin/">
AllowOverride All
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory "E:/pinnacle/globaljob/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>


</VirtualHost>

Doesn't work. Still get the 'you don't have permission' error. What am I doing wrong?

Show below is the configuration for a VHost that I have on a new server (Windows Server 2012) running Apache 2.2. I am currently hosting the same website on an old machine (Windows Server 2003) running Apache 1.3.

<VirtualHost *> ## GlobalJobAnnouncements.com March 15, 2009
DocumentRoot E:/pinnacle/globaljob/htdocs
ServerAdmin webmaster@aadast.com
ServerName globaljobannouncements.com
ServerAlias *.globaljobannouncements.com
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "E:/pinnacle/globaljob/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "E:/pinnacle/globaljob/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog E:/pinnacle/globaljob/logs/error.log
CustomLog E:/pinnacle/globaljob/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

When calling the cgi directory on the machine using Apache 2.2 I get a message "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access-----, while on the old machine with Apache 1.3 everything works just fine with the configuration noted. The file paths and permissions are the same in both cases.

Why doesn't the config work? What is different about Apache 2.2? What am I missing?

you can take a look in the cgi tutorial http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/cgi.html
