hi,

i have 2 sections:

1. virtual hosts

2. httpd-vhosts.conf

whats the difference??

[cbrydon]

Ollie, DId you ever solve your problem? I'm experiencing a similar thing I think.

I'm just getting into Apache and have used IIS for a few small sites. My current situation is
that I have Apache and IIS running on the same server with one IP address. IIS is running on port 8080 and Apache is running on port 80. Access to both my apache sites and iis sites work so long as I type in the :8080 for the iis sites.
I now have a need for users to no longer type in the port 8080 so I have attempted to add some virtual hosts in my
apache vhosts.conf file. Below are the contents of that file...

NameVirtualHost 111.111.111.111:80
NameVirtualHost 111.111.111.111:8080

# Apache Site
<VirtualHost 111.111.111.111:80>
DocumentRoot "/ms4w/Apache/htdocs"
ServerName 111.111.111.111
</VirtualHost>

# IIS Site
<VirtualHost 111.111.111.111:8080>
ServerName 111.111.111.111:8080
DocumentRoot F:/Applications/2009/Custom/SomeTown
ProxyRequests OFF
ProxyPass / http://111.111.111.111:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://111.111.111.111:8080/
</VirtualHost>

Access to the apache sites work fine, however access to the IIS sites do not work unless I still type in the :8080.

If I replace the IP:port number with * in the VirtualHost tags AND make the IIS Site the first in the list then I can access
my IIS sites without typing port 8080 in the URL, however the Apache sites are not accessible.

I have also tried the following (among other configurations), but just can't seem to get thiings to work....

NameVirtualHost 111.111.111.111:80

# Apache Site
<VirtualHost 111.111.111.111:80>
DocumentRoot "/ms4w/Apache/htdocs"
ServerName 111.111.111.111
</VirtualHost>

# IIS Site
<VirtualHost 111.111.111.111:80>
ServerName 111.111.111.111:80
DocumentRoot F:/Applications/2009/Custom/SomeTown
ProxyRequests OFF
ProxyPass / http://111.111.111.111:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://111.111.111.111:8080/
</VirtualHost>


The above code doesn't work either; it seems as though the 2nd virtual host isn't being recognized. SomeTown is actually in F:/Applications/2009/Custom. Below is the output of an error log file.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks,
Carl

I am sure there is something simple I'm missing and hope someone can help.

Thanks

yea have you tryed to take out this
: DocumentRoot F:/Applications/2009/Custom/SomeTown
in the iss6 block & restart your server

[cbrydon]

Yes, I have tried taking the Document Root out of the IIS6 block and unfortunately that didn't change anything. The error log still has the same entry.

Any other ideas?

[acid.-.burn]

try this

[cbrydon]

Hi,

Tried your latest suggestion and still get the same result in the error.log file (listed below). I do have the two modules you mentioned turned on.

[Sun Jun 07 16:18:15 2009] [error] [client 142.177.238.81] File does not exist: C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/sometown
[Sun Jun 07 16:18:20 2009] [error] [client 142.177.238.81] File does not exist: C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/sometown

Is there some soft of detailed logging that I can turn on, that might give more details?

Thanks,
Carl

maybe you need to use mod proxy html

See http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=9772

[ob1kenobi]

Try this, this works for me on my apache proxy setup, make sure the proxy mod is turned on in the httpd file...

<VirtualHost *:80>

ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
ServerName yourwebsite.com
ServerAlias yourwebsite.com www.yourwebsite.com http://www.yourwebsite.com (you get the idea)
<Proxy http://localhost:8080/>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Proxy>

</VirtualHost>
