Hi,
My issue is that I cannot access files (index.html) stored in /var/www via the browser that is on my server through the browser. So, when I do the following:
www.somename.com, I get a valid page, but when I do the following: www.somename.com/index.html, I get a 404 page.
My 000-default.conf file is the following:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin aaa@gmail.com
DocumentRoot /var/www
ServerName www.somename.com
ProxyRequests Off
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
</VirtualHost>
Please let me know if you need more information to help me resolve my issue. I have been stumped for several days now.
Cheers, |

Hello,
I guess you already have checked that there is a /var/www/index.html when trying to access www.somename.com/index.html ? 
 Who/what is creating/serving the data when you access www.somename.com ? Apache running on port 80 or is it only acting as a reverse proxy for some other webserver (tomcat?) running on the same box on port 8080?
 Have a look at the line
| Code: | | ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/ |
With this config you tell your apache to fetch every ressource (including the index.html) from the server running on port 8080.
So please ensure that either your port-8080-service has access to the index.html or forward only the needed ressources to the port-8080-service and let apache handle the rest (read the static files from the harddrive).
Additional: to clean up your config I would remove the "ProxyRequests"-line and the "<Proxy> ... </Proxy>"-stuff as it is needed for using apache as a forward proxy. |
