Apache problems on RedHat 9
 

Hey, if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. I'm setting up a website on a RedHat 9 box. I have already setup the 4 virtual host page entries, but I can't see anything of the sites. I have a static IP, and then the host is one of a handful of boxes on the network. I have already set the network firewall to allow ssh, ftp, web, and other requests to go to the server. I have 1 site pointed to the static IP, and the other pointed to the IP of the server (wasn't sure which one to do, hence the test). When I try to go to the page set to the box's IP, I get a 404 error Object not Found (but gives the webmaster email, etc). The other site times out. I think the 404 error will only come up on my side of the network; I've been talking to friends on the other side to test.
My question is: What am I doing wrong that I can't display these pages? I have consulted the error_log, and there is nothing in there for the site getting the 404 message. The other site's error_log gives me "File does not exist", and lists the DocuementRoot path of the site (and adds /cvs/index2.php for some reason, whatever it means). Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks a bunch.

I have seen that error when I didn't have the right permissions on the files used for the web page.

Once upon a time I set up a web server similar to what you are doing, using the virtual IP address. It took a bit of reading from the documentation on "apache.org" but I got it done.

I changed the permissions a long time earlier thinking that was the issue, but it's not. A co-worker who used to admin told me that the issue is likely due to binding the IP address today.

Wish I still had my apache.conf file to share with you. But that is long since gone. Sorry.
