help on setting up apache server

Moebius · 10-14-2004, 12:12 AM

I've read some of the apache docs, but I can't find a comprehensive(current) guide on how to set up the apache server. The Apache Docs make for a good reference if you alread know what you're looking for, but I don't, unfortunately.

Here's my situation. I have a server that I want to host a few domains off of. For the time being, I registered a few domains at dyndns. natezacserver.ath.cx, ffs.ath.cx, and zwd.ath.cx. I got apache configured to the point where I can see the default page using any of the domains, but the different sites aren't working. Currently I have the defauly site defined and the ffs site defined, but the ffs site doesn't seem to be activated when I use ffs.ath.cx. I always get the same, default page.

Some lines from my httpd.conf

Code:


ServerName natezacserver.ath.cx
DocumentRoot /var/www
Port 80

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    UserDir public_html
</IfModule>

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
    AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
    <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Limit>
    <Limit PUT DELETE PATCH PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </Limit>
</Directory>

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi
</IfModule>

Use:

Code:

<VirtualHost 66.79.174.10>

And also keep in mind that you need a pair of <VirtualHost 66.79.174.10>..</VirtualHost> for any virtual domain you want to host.

I ended up getting rid of these two lines:

ServerName natezacserver.ath.cx
DocumentRoot /var/www

and defining all my sites as VirtualHosts like so:

Code:

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *:80>
  #ServerName 66.79.174.10
  ServerName natezacserver.ath.cx
  #ServerAlias natezacserver.ath.cx
  DocumentRoot /var/www
  ServerAdmin zac@zacwittedesign.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName www.zacwittedesign.com
  ServerAlias zacwittedesign.com zwd.ath.cx
  DocumentRoot /var/users/zwd/www
  ServerAdmin zac@zacwittedesign.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName ffs.ath.cx
  DocumentRoot /var/users/ffs/www
  <Directory "/var/users/ffs/www">
    allow from all
    AllowOverride All
  </Directory>
  ErrorLog /var/users/ffs/logs/error.log
  LogLevel error
  ServerAdmin zac@zacwittedesign.com
</VirtualHost>
