Archived from groups: alt>apache>configuration (more info?)
Hi,
following is a total mess for me, I hope it's not for you !!

Environment : RH9 Apache2 (came with the distro)

I installed RH as a web server with everything suggested plus SSL. THe
firewall is set to medium security.

I want to configure the server to act exactly as a conventionnal web host so
I could learn to write efficient php scripts.

Obviously I don't have any qualified domain name. And obviously too the
scripts won't.

Now, how do I configure the whole thing (httpd, vhosts, DNS server ?? and so
on) so that I can type www.asite.com on the local browser ?

Actually the only way to open the sites is to enter
http://localhost:8080/sitedir/www/ (yeah apache listens to port 8080)

I tried to configure the whole thing with the apache configuration facility
provided with RH9 but nothing works.

Document root is var/www/http/ under which all sites will be, so
var/www/http/asite/www/
var/www/http/anothersite/www/

One more thing, in the doc they say that if I plan to use SSL, vhosts must
not be configured as name based vhosts but IP based vhosts.

Thanks

Three steps:
1. have <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.asite.com" target="_blank">www.asite.com</a> resolved on your local machine, for this just
add 127.0.0.1 <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.asite.com" target="_blank">www.asite.com</a> to your /etc/hosts file, no need
to fuck around with a DNS server for that.

2. configure the Virtual Hosts in httpd.conf:
  NameVirtualHost *
  <VirtualHost *>
<font color=green>   ServerName <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.asite.com</font" target="_blank">www.asite.com</font</a>>
   DocumentRoot /where/the/hell/you/want/it
  </VirtualHost>

3. restart httpd and check out.

ping <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.asite.com" target="_blank">www.asite.com</a> should ping your own machine (127.0.0.1) and
the browser should show the correct page.

Hi Davide

Tanks a lot for your help.

My config files were all perfect. I use both IP and name alongside in the
vhosts definitions so that the server could not be attacked by DOS scripts.
The problem I had was that absolutely no site but the real ones on the web
could display in the browser. I would only obtain a blank screen with no
message at all.

I've found the problem.

I told before I was using SSL. Well this was the "problem". Instead of
typing <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.somesite.com" target="_blank">www.somesite.com</a> I should have typed <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="https://bla.bla.bla" target="_blank">https://bla.bla.bla</a> what I did
further and gained access (passing through several security warnings) to the
local sites .


Again, thanks for your help.
