EDIT: LOOKS WINDOWS ONLY FORUM!!
Hello to the Board!
I'm trying to set up a website running my own server using WP. I have installed LAMP and everything locally seems to work fine locally , e.g. if i type | Code: | | http://localhost/wordpress/ |
into my browser everything appears as it should i.e. my potential site.
However, whenever I try to go 'live' it all tends to go t!ts up. The configuration I need help with is apache (far, far too complex!).
You should note that WP has been installed in /var/www/wordpress.
| Code: | $ ls /var/www
index.html info.php wordpress
|
WP Database has been created successfully using mySQL and PHPMYADMIN seems fine. Basically everything works, I just need help to get to the next level and go 'public'. I have set dns setting with the company that registered the domain name and have allowed port forwarding for port 80 on my router (am not worried about dynamic dns at this stage).
Here are the files (I think) I need help with to tell apache where my domain will go (and possibly help with adding sym links in the process):
| Code: | ipsofacto@MyBoX /etc/apache2/sites-enabled $ cat 000-default
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
|
By reading another forum I added the following to my /etc/aqpache2.conf (as was advised as was a /www/wordpress install:
| Code: | | AddType application/x-httpd-php .html |
Any help/further questions much appreciated! You should note that I am a nube and that I am trying to do this for having 'fun' with linux and learning as opposed for setting up a commercial site. I will most prob move it to a company once up - just wanted th have a go myself !

in
<Directory /var/www/>
</Directory>
it must be AllowOverride All so that the .htaccess file works. Why AddType application/x-httpd-php .html ?
What is your question? |

Thanks for your quick response (and apologies for not making myself clear)
The question specifically I was asking was how to tweak 'sites-enabled' so I can put my website live for others to see.
It was my understanding that I had to include the word 'wordpress' after the www in the config below.
| Code: | DocumentRoot /var/www/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
|
However, every time I do that and type in localhost/wordpress into my browser it says not found on this server.
I appreciate that these forums aren't exactly for noobs. As for including the line of code that you alluded to above, then I saw the following:
| Quote: | Next, you’ll need to add a line to your /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file, so Apache will properly interpret WordPress’s PHP files. (Note that this is only necessary if you install WordPress in a subdirectory of /var/www, as we are doing in this example.
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html |
I appreciate your patience.. |

Nope, see at the top of the forum index page:
The forum, although primarily committed to Windows environments, is about Apache in general. All flavors of OS, like Linux and Mac OS X, are welcome here.

Kind of solved! Site up but can only view it by proxy.
Anyway, consider thread closed. |

Thanks for the reply. Have professional hosting now. lol.
The point about proxy was that I could only view it via proxy whereas friends could view it fine.
