Hey all,
I am brand spanking new to Apache and web hosting, so please excuse the noobness of my question...
I only intend to use Apache to host internal websites (Intranet, for example), and although it is only the one at the moment, that is held at http://localhost, that will be no good soon.
Could somebody please help me to
1 - Change the domain name of a site (so that it becomes http://intranet, for example)
2 - Add a second site, so that I can also have a development environment for our companies website.
Any help is greatly appriciated.
Thanks. |

create vhosts[1]
| Code: |
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/www/intranet
ServerName intranet
ErrorLog C:/logs/intranet.error.log
CustomLog c:/logs/intranet.access.log common
<Directory "C:/www/intranet">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/www/development
ServerName development
ErrorLog C:/logs/development.error.log
CustomLog c:/logs/development.access.log common
<Directory "C:/www/development">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

if it is only on your computer you can use the hosts file[2].
to your hosts file add
| Code: |
127.0.0.1 intranet
127.0.0.1 development
|
if it shall reachable from the entire network with that names you have to ask your administrator to configure the DNS server for that.

|
|
Hi. I'm new to LAMP, but I've got an installation working on my desktop.
I've spent a whole day trying to do the same thing on my Windows XP Pro sp3 (same as desktop) laptop, but I'm stuck.
After installing Apache 2.2, the http://localhost gives me "It Worked".
After installing PHP 5.3, with a lot of tweeking, http://localhost gives me "Broken Link".
PHP seems to be working on its own. But the Apache Service Monitor gives me "Requested Operation has Failed" if I try to Start a service.
Why is this so complicated? What am I missing now?
Any help would be awesome. Thanks. |

What's in error log? If nothing there what is in the Event Viewer
Are you loading the proper PHP module (php5apache2_2.dll)? |

Thanks very much for the quick reply.
Here's the error log:
(deleted, see next post)
I don't understand the problem with the Fully Qualified Server Name. I'm just trying to use localhost.
This is in my httpd-vhosts file:
<virtualhost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@localhost.com
DocumentRoot "C:/webServer/www/myserver.dev/public_html"
ServerName myserver.dev
ServerAlias www.myserver.dev
<directory "C:/webServer/www/myserver.dev/public_html">
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</directory>
</virtualhost>
The PHP download I used didn't include that php5apache2_2.dll, so I found it and several other missing DLLs somewhere else.

Wait a sec.
I gave you an old error! Doh! Sorry to waste your time.
Here's the latest one:
The Apache2.2 service is restarting.
Starting the Apache2.2 service
The Apache2.2 service is running.
(OS 3)The system cannot find the path specified. : could not create C:/webserver/logs/httpd.pid
[Sun Feb 28 06:15:25 2010] [error] httpd.exe: could not log pid to file C:/webserver/logs/httpd.pid
[Sun Feb 28 06:18:04 2010] [error] (OS 3)The system cannot find the path specified. : could not create C:/webserver/logs/httpd.pid
[Sun Feb 28 06:18:04 2010] [error] httpd.exe: could not log pid to file C:/webserver/logs/httpd.pid
There is a problem with the directory. Should be:
C:/webserver/apache/logs/httpd.pid
I can't find where to edit that in the conf/httpd.conf document file.
OK! FIXED!
I just moved the logs directory down to webserver. |
