Post subject: apache 2.0 - cant get vhosts to work
Archived from groups: alt>apache>configuration (more info?)
I just installed mandrake 9.2, i was running 9.0 and using apache 1.3.27
I backed up all the files and reformatted the drive to mdk 9.2
Now I'm configuring the apache 2.0.47 stuff it installed.

I used the original httpd.conf vhost.conf and commonhtpd.conf files as
a guide to edit the new apache 2.0 files of the smae name
(whats that httpd2.conf?, how many config files do they need anyway???)

I have 2 problems, i cant get cgi to work at all
i have ssIncludes in my main page <!--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/counter.cgi" -->
but it is just ignored.

My main site comes up ok(but no cgi of course due to the above problem)
i have 3 virtualhosts "namevirtualhost" and any access to those gives
me
Forbidden
you dont have permission to access / on this server

The perms for the dirs there are drwxr-xr-x
the index.html file is -rwxr-xr-x
all files and dirs there are owned apache:apache

This all worked great under mdk 9.0 and apache 1.13.27

What am i missing?
Thanks
Eric

Sample vhost
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.5

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.5>
ServerName aWebSite.homeip.net here (a dyndns entry provides the dns)
DirectoryIndex index.html
DocumentRoot /var/vhosts/www1/html
CustomLog logs/access1_log combined env=!dontlog
ErrorLog logs/error1_log
</VirtualHost>

Just one. If you want to separate the stuff in different config files
to keep them specific is your choice.

I think that your Apache have ssi turned off.

It sound like a problem in permissions and/or which 'index' file he is
trying to access.

 > DocumentRoot /var/vhosts/www1/html

You should have a <Directory /var/vhosts...> block here, detailing
the options.

There are none, the vhost is just a small redirect page
one file: /var/vhosts/www1/html/index.html that just has a clickable
link to take you to the main site.
So my vhosts.conf looks like this:

NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.5

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.5>
ServerName Redirector.homeip.net
DirectoryIndex index.html
DocumentRoot /var/vhosts/www1/html
CustomLog logs/access1_log combined env=!dontlog
ErrorLog logs/error1_log
</VirtualHost>

Why cant i get permission to load the index.html file?

Also, under 1.3.27 i could serve html pages that were located in cgi-bin
Can you not do that under 2.0?
If not i can move them but I dont want to unless it is no longer supported

Thanks

Then why don't you just use
RedirectPermanent ...wherevereyouwant
in the <VirtualHost> block?

?what's the sense of having html pages in cgi-bin? by definition,
everything in cgi-bin has to be a cgi. So, not served but executed.

It was a handy place for guestbook data etc. The html that is
served out of cgi-bin is only served to my local intranet and is
never served to the public. so it kind of made sense to stick it
there where it was clearly separated from the rest of the sites pages.
