Hi,

I'm a new linux user, I am using webmin to configure my Apache 2 web server.

I use Mandrake 10 Official.

I want to have this many websites in my workstation:
per example I have
/home/name/www/websiteA
/home/name/www/websiteB
/home/name/www/websiteC

and I want to access each one of them respectively by
localhost:81
localhost:82
localhost:83

In webmin I create

I then restart Apache2, and when trying to localhost:81, localhost:82 or localhost:83 it goes to this website localhost.be

or if I try with IP
127.0.0.1:81, it says I can't connect.

In webmin I put
Address: Any
Port: 81
Document Root: /home/name/www/websiteA
Server Name: Default

then I do Save and restart Apache.... doesn't work, when I go to localhost:81 or 127.0.0.1:81 it doesnt' do a thing and I wanted it to go to /home/name/www/websiteA

any help is appreciatted

Make sure you have a "Listen" directive for each port in your httpd.conf file, e.g..:

Listen 192.168.0.1:80
Listen 192.168.0.1:81
Listen 192.168.0.1:82

By default there is only a single Listen in that file.

Hope this helps.

hi,

still seems not to work I did in httpd.conf file

<IfDefine>
Port 81
Listen 81
</IfDefine>

in the end I putted the virtual hhost config

<VirtualHost localhost:81>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "/home/user/wwwprj/websiteA"
</VirtualHost>

then in command line i did
apachectl restart

after that I went to my browser but after putting localhost:81 it didn't worked

is there something missing?

I put my http configuration here for u to see

# (httpd, httpd-perl, etc.)
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

# 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.

### Performance settings Section
###
#
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 300

#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
#
KeepAlive On

#
# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.
#
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100

#
# KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the
# same client on the same connection.
#
KeepAliveTimeout 15

#
# Server-pool size regulation. Rather than making you guess how many
# server processes you need, Apache dynamically adapts to the load it
# sees --- that is, it tries to maintain enough server processes to
# handle the current load, plus a few spare servers to handle transient
# load spikes (e.g., multiple simultaneous requests from a single
# Netscape browser).
#
# It does this by periodically checking how many servers are waiting
# for a request. If there are fewer than MinSpareServers, it creates
# a new spare. If there are more than MaxSpareServers, some of the
# spares die off. The default values are probably OK for most sites.
#
MinSpareServers 4
MaxSpareServers 10

#
# Number of servers to start initially --- should be a reasonable ballpark
# figure.
#
StartServers 4

#
# Limit on total number of servers running, i.e., limit on the number
# of clients who can simultaneously connect --- if this limit is ever
# reached, clients will be LOCKED OUT, so it should NOT BE SET TOO LOW.
# It is intended mainly as a brake to keep a runaway server from taking
# the system with it as it spirals down...
#
MaxClients 150

#
# MaxRequestsPerChild: the number of requests each child process is
# allowed to process before the child dies. The child will exit so
# as to avoid problems after prolonged use when Apache (and maybe the
# libraries it uses) leak memory or other resources. On most systems, this
# isn't really needed, but a few (such as Solaris) do have notable leaks
# in the libraries. For these platforms, set to something like 10000
# or so; a setting of 0 means unlimited.
#
# NOTE: This value does not include keepalive requests after the initial
# request per connection. For example, if a child process handles
# an initial request and 10 subsequent "keptalive" requests, it
# would only count as 1 request towards this limit.
#
MaxRequestsPerChild 500

Maybe you are calling vitualHost already before httpd2.conf goes end, could be the reason dont' work

Your HTTPD2.CONF have

Include conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf

so you have to configurated Vhosts.conf and put the code or comment it
