 Posted: Tue 30 Nov '10 23:18 Post subject: NameVirtualHost setup on development PC |
 |
|
Hi, I'm using my PC to develop more than one website, and wish to serve it to the local browser in Windows 7. I've installed the Webserv pack with Apache 2.2 and it has been working fine with just one site, but now I've tried to follow various instructions from the web and in the Apache documentation to set up a virtual host for a second site, and neither site works (unless I comment out the virtualhost conf file in httpd.conf, in which case http://localhost:8080 works again).
Starting Apache with -S suggests the syntax is correct but I don't know:
| Code: |
*:8080 is a NameVirtualHost
default server localhost (D:/WebServ/apache22/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:27)
port 8080 namevhost localhost (D:/WebServ/apache22/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:27)
port 8080 namevhost www.site2.dev (D:/WebServ/apache22/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:41)
Syntax OK
|
This is the code I've put in to define the two sites:
| Code: |
NameVirtualHost *:8080
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "D:/WebServ/wwwroot/site1.com/htdocs"
ServerName localhost
ErrorLog "D:/WebServ/logs/httpd/error.log"
CustomLog "D:/WebServ/logs/httpd/access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<Directory "D:/WebServ/wwwroot/site1.com/htdocs">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "D:/WebServ/wwwroot/site2.dev/htdocs"
ServerName www.site2.dev
ServerAlias site2.dev
ErrorLog "logs/site2-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/site2-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<Directory "D:/WebServ/wwwroot/site2.dev/htdocs">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
|
In addition to this, I've added aliases into the hosts file against 127.0.0.1, but when I try to open either site in my browser, it claims it can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8080 or site2.dev:8080. If I comment out the virtualhosts conf line in httpc.conf, the default (original) site loads for either alias.
Well, I hope I've covered everything there! And hopefully it's something simple... |

Ok, and that is what I see as your first vhost, which is correct. Apache calls it the default, which is correct.
I cannot believe this would be it but it is simple and worth a try, in that first vhost, change the *:8080 to _default_:8080
Hmmm ... is the server also running port 80? |

Hi,
No such luck... changing the first vhost to _default_:8080 made no difference.
I don't know where to look to see if the server is also running port 80. The httpd.conf file has Listen 8080 only. |

| PS - the vhosts line is commented out as pasted in httpd.conf (since I can then at least use one of the sites...) |

Hmm... no.
There is a D:/Webserv/logs though.
Should I create a D:/Webserv/apache22/logs folder? |

Since you haven't defined ErrorLog "logs/phpbook-error.log" and not the full path and your ServerRoot is "D:/WebServ/apache22" Apache need the logs folder there |

OK; I've added the folder and uncommented the Vhosts call in httpd.conf but when I try to load the page with:
| Code: | | http://phpbook.dev:8080 |
I'm still getting the default site (I suppose adding the logs folder wasn't intended as the solution, but I thought I'd better check what happens). |

I've double-checked all the paths; I've made sure the log files exist in the indicated directory... and still, it is loading the wrong site with the above command... 
Any ideas? TIA. |
