Apache not working after attempted Virtual Host configuration

devinmcelheran · 03-06-2014, 02:00 PM

The thread title says most of it. I'm trying to get Apache to serve two sites. I had the first one working after first installing Apache. Now I've tried adding a second site to the virtual host, but without any luck.

Here's my sites-available/default configuration file.

Code:

Listen 80

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

	ServerName sheeponmeth.no-ip.biz

	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
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName pursue.no-ip.biz

	DocumentRoot /var/www_pte

	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

	<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
</VirtualHost>

Apache won't even open port 80 at this point. I'm fairly new to configuring Apache, I don't have much experience with it apart from running vanilla/default configurations.

Thanks.

This looks like a Debian-ish distro, yes?
I believe that the idea in the Debian configuration of Apache is that you place one file per virt host in /etc/sites-available

So if you break each server into one file each:
/etc/apache/sites-available/sheepsonmeth
/etc/apache/sites-available/pursue

and then place symlinks from
/etc/apache/sites-enabled/sheepsonmeth -> /etc/apache/sites-available/sheepsonmeth
/etc/apache/sites-enabled/pursue -> /etc/apache/sites-available/pursue

That would be the "correct" way of implementing this scheme on a Debian server.

I'm not sure if that's the root of your problem or not, but that's worth a shot to start with. Obviously after all changes you would want to restart the apache2 service.

What output does this command show?

Code:

# apachectl -t

http://sheeponmeth.no-ip.biz works from here.

http://108.170.170.16:8080/ shows "it works!"

I actually got it working. I think I did it sloppily, so I won't post my configuration. I guess there's a difference between the Virtual Servers and Virtual Hosts with Apache. From what I understand, each file is a Virtual Server, and each entry (like in mine) is a Virtual Host. So, technically, mine isn't done wrong, but it could be done better, like I said, it's a bit sloppy.

Thanks for all the replies, though.

I put mine in /etc/httpd/conf.d/dorkblog.conf
each site could have it's own .conf file in the same directory.

Name : httpd
Arch : x86_64
Version : 2.2.3

CentOS 5.10
