Re: DocumentRoot... NOT!`
 

Ok folks.. I've been using Apache for many years.. I'm not familiar with all of its directives but I know how work it. I've just recently went with dedicated hosting and the box came with fedora core 4 and plesk 8.. which I removed as it was using site builder and just using up too much resources along with confusing me.. I find the command line much more friendlier! Anyhow, my problem. Apache 2.0 DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" & DocumentDirectory "/var/www/html" as well... the defaults.
the permissions on html drwxr-xr-x.. ok. I have documents in html... directories and files. Let's use index.html with full permissions. when I go to my domain www.clickablelove.com
I get an index listting page with no listings as though I had no files or dirs in my document root??? I have no clue what it can be.. has anyone dealt with this before? I need some help.. trying to launch some sites but being held back too long by this silly issue of mine!!

Cheers!

Look at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.
may be a Virtual Hosts

Thanks for the message and yes there is a vhost directive as I have another domain. I've been using vhosts for sometime now and I don't believe this to be the problem. I'm gonna comment the vhost out and restart httpd and see though... just to say I've tried it.

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks!
 

My RedHat goes off to you comprookie200. it was the vhost directive causing the problem as httpd was serving from that instead of the document root. I don't understand though because I have configured the vhost the same way as I always have.... can you notice anything odd with this?

NameVirtualHost 74.210.9.160


<VirtualHost 74.210.9.160>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/vhost
ServerName www.vhost.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

Thanks,


Chris

I think once you start using virtual hosts the default site needs to be listed first.
something like;

All Good Now! : )
 

Thanks and once again comprookie2000 you are absolutely right... I figured it out after I compared my other httpd.conf file. Things have all come together nicely now... something tells me I may need to come back here for more help though in a bit! You've been a good help.. thanks alot!!

Chris
