I just upgrade from Apache 2.0.55 to 2.2.3. When I started installing my old directories back in I noticed the VH setup is quite different. This is an example of my VH container from 2.0.55 with the current directories:
| Code: | <VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.website.com
ServerAlias website.com
DocumentRoot "d:\apache2\www\website"
ErrorLog "d:\apache2\logs\website\error.log"
CustomLog "d:\apache2\logs\website\access.log" common
</VirtualHost> |
I see with 2.2.3 that there is a seperate file in /extra/ that contains all the VH information. Does this container get added into that file the same way or does it get add like the following example as shown in the actual file:
| Code: | <VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@website.com
DocumentRoot /www/website
ServerName website.com
ErrorLog logs/website-error_log
CustomLog logs/website-access_log common
</VirtualHost> |
I also need to know if I uncomment the
| Code: | | #Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf |
in the httpd.conf. Is there anything I should do in the httpd-vhosts.conf file other than add my VH's if the above is true? |

The /extra/ directory is optional. You don't have to use the plethora of includes, though doing so offers the advantages of a modular approach. You don't have to edit one long HTTPD.CONF file.
As for the structure of the virtual host containers, it should be the same, only you need to double check your paths.
I converted one site to 2.2.x and while the structure of the CONFiguration files changed to a modular approach, the structure of the virtual host containers was the same.
You should be able to use the same vhost containers, just copy & paste them into your new vhost include file.
BTW, I never use \ backslashes, I always use / forward slashes. |

I tried the "/" and had problems if I remember correctly. I'll give this information a try.
edit: just tried both ways and neither would work when the original code was pasted into the new httpd.conf file. Apache would come up with a popup error and stop loading. |

| What does the server's error log say? |
