Hi,

My issue is that I cannot access files (index.html) stored in /var/www via the browser that is on my server through the browser. So, when I do the following:
www.somename.com, I get a valid page, but when I do the following: www.somename.com/index.html, I get a 404 page.

My 000-default.conf file is the following:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin aaa@gmail.com
DocumentRoot /var/www
ServerName www.somename.com
ProxyRequests Off
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/

</VirtualHost>

Please let me know if you need more information to help me resolve my issue. I have been stumped for several days now.

Cheers,

Hello,

I guess you already have checked that there is a /var/www/index.html when trying to access www.somename.com/index.html ? Smile

Question Who/what is creating/serving the data when you access www.somename.com ? Apache running on port 80 or is it only acting as a reverse proxy for some other webserver (tomcat?) running on the same box on port 8080?

Exclamation Have a look at the line
Code:
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/

With this config you tell your apache to fetch every ressource (including the index.html) from the server running on port 8080.

So please ensure that either your port-8080-service has access to the index.html or forward only the needed ressources to the port-8080-service and let apache handle the rest (read the static files from the harddrive).

Additional: to clean up your config I would remove the "ProxyRequests"-line and the "<Proxy> ... </Proxy>"-stuff as it is needed for using apache as a forward proxy.
