What do i do?

is there an index.html or index.php or something like that in the new doc root, your server probably has directory listings off and there is no index page in the new folder you have it serve from, try putting a index.html file in there

if thats not it, then check the folder and see if the server has read permission of it

Patbuzz86 · 05-16-2004, 09:46 PM

1. It has an index.html file in it (http://localhost/index.html -- returns a 403 // so does http://localhost/something.html- which is a fake file

2. the ls -l out put of /var/www is

Code:

total 24
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Apr 20 15:30 cgi-bin/
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Apr 20 15:30 error/
drwxrwxrwx    3 root     root         4096 Apr 29 18:16 html/
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Apr 20 15:30 icons/
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Apr 20 15:30 perl/
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root         4096 Apr 29 20:08 site/

here is the output of ls -l on the site directory which is what i wanted the document root changed to

Code:

total 4
-rw-rw-r--    1 patrick  patrick       169 Apr 29 20:08 index.html

When you changed your document root, you have to be sure to change the path in the line that looks like this as well:

Code:

#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "/data/www/htdocs">

PaulScott56 · 05-17-2004, 06:40 AM

I see that the document root is owned by root, although it has the correct permissions, apache won't be able to use it until you chown it to user apache (or nobody - check your apache config). so in the document root issue (as root) chown -vR apache * and that should fix it up!

korozion · 05-17-2004, 06:45 AM

You need to change apache2.conf as well as commonapache2.conf. I use find to look for localhost and deltete it. There may be a few references to localhost in other apache config files as well (php etc) Just check through them and delete the localhost entries

Patbuzz86 · 05-17-2004, 04:41 PM

here is my httpd2.conf file

### Global Configuration
###
# We now support multiple apache configurations on the same server. In 
# common.conf, we put all directives that are common to all implementations
# (httpd, httpd-perl, etc.)
# For Apache2 we load all conf files in conf.d
Include /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf
Include conf/commonhttpd.conf


###
### IP Address/Port and Proxied configuration section
###
# The APACHEPROXIED setting can be set in /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd if you
# are using a proxy or accelerator, like the Apache-SGI or khttpd, so that
# the fast web server serves static content while Apache handles the 
# cgi or php files

#BindAddress *
<IfDefine APACHEPROXIED>
    Listen 8080
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine !APACHEPROXIED>
    Listen 80
</IfDefine>

# Likewise, we can set apache as the server by default and send perl
# requests via ProxyPass to apache-mod_perl. It increases performance
# since the perl interpreter is only used for perl and the standard apache
# does all the html and image files, with a smaller footprint.
#
# If you install apache and apache-mod_perl, this is the default config.
# If you don't want two web servers to use perl, uninstall apache, and
# apache-mod_perl will not be proxied.

<IfDefine PERLPROXIED>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^proxy:.*  -  [F]

</IfModule>
</IfDefine>

###
### Log configuration Section
###

<IfModule mod_log_config.c>
#Single logfile with access, agent and referer information
#This is the default, if vlogs are not defined for the main server
CustomLog logs/access_log combined env=!VLOG
#If VLOG is defined in conf/vhosts/Vhost.conf, we use this entry
CustomLog "|/usr/sbin/advxsplitlogfile" vhost env=VLOG

###
### Virtual Hosts 
###
# We include different templates for Virtual Hosting. Have a look in the 
# vhosts directory and modify to suit your needs.
Include conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf
#Include conf/vhosts/DynamicVhosts.conf
#Include conf/vhosts/VirtualHomePages.conf

# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.

In the directions it says not to change that file (i did anyway and still go the same message)

I have done this and it still doesnt work
(oh and by the way i am shutting down and restartign the server everytime that i make a change so the changes will go into effect

Code:

/sbin/service httpd restart

korozion · 05-17-2004, 07:25 PM

Did you also check Vhosts.conf? There are many config files located in conf/ check them all

Patbuzz86 · 05-18-2004, 02:18 PM

im not trying to set up a Vhost im trying to set up apache

devinWhalen · 05-18-2004, 04:01 PM

I tried doing just what you did and got the same problem. I don't think you can change the document root.. I don't know if you noticed or not but there is a comment just about where you changed the document root

Code:

### Main Configuration Section
### You really shouldn't change these settings unless you're a guru
###
ServerRoot /etc/httpd/2.0

So I would heed these words. Why do you want to change the document root anyhow? I don't know what your reasons are buy maybe using Alias would do what you are trying to achieve?

So unless you have good reason (I can't think of one) you might just want to leave it. I know this isn't much help but apache may have been designed to have /var/www/html as the root and that's that.

Later

korozion · 05-18-2004, 07:35 PM

I changed mine a month or so ago, so I'm pretty sure it's possible. Actually you are running two vhosts, one handles all connections, the other handels https connections (on port 443 by default) Plus notice that your apache2.conf calls vhosts.conf. As I said, there are many config files and all need to be edited. Just use a text editor with find and search for localhost in each and every config file. And I'm sure your problem with be fixed.

Patbuzz86 · 05-18-2004, 08:04 PM

but wheni opened up vhost.conf all of the script was commented(started with #) is this a problem?

Do i need to change the server root?! - i think that the server root is the path to the actual server program not the document root

korozion · 05-19-2004, 12:22 AM

Please, for the love of everything holy (Linux) Delete everything that says localhost in every config file
