Topic: Virtual Directory

[Osteele]

I will try to be as clear as possible. I am fairly new to Apache, so
please bear with me.

I setup a fairly simple web site. I use:
Apache 2.0.48 & PHP/4.3.4 - WIndows 2000 Server
I offer my visitors the possibilty of listening to a variety of music
via Andromeda PHP v.1.9.3
The jukebox module is located at c:\Apache\Apache2\htdocs\modules\music
My primary hard disk drive is very small (9 gig), so I installed an
additional 80G IDE drive in my server.
I would like to serve up all of my music from e:\music
This is the only module that will be accessing data from drive "e" for
now.

How exactly should I do this from within my HTTP server.

I know what has to be done within my Andromeda preferences file.
Modifications to that file resulted in my seeing the contents of
e:\music, but Windows media player comes back with an error when trying
to connect.

I hope that I was able to provide enough information. Any assistance
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I want to help you, but I am not familiar with your application Andromeda.

Only thing I can think about is reinstalling Andromeda.

What error gives Windows media player ?

Thanks so much for the response.

I have spoken to the developer of the Andromeda jukebox. He asked me if I was able to access drive "E" from within my web site. I cannot. So, I am assuming that it must be an Apache config.

Maybe you can post the following from your httpd.conf:

ServerRoot .....

NameVirtualHost ....

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot ........
.....
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot ........
.....
</VirtualHost>

ok i have everything back up and working. when you go to

http://www.vortexx.org

or

http://www.area51music.org

they resolve to the same website. How do i get them to resolve to different websites?

here is my vhost file:

### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost vortexx.org

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
<VirtualHost vortexx.org>
ServerAdmin admin@dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot C:\virtualhosts\vortexx
ServerName dummy-host.example.com
ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

#alias
#alias

also do i need to have any of the other parts of my apache file changed?

Apparently, I don't have much configured in my VitualHost section. Here it is:

### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#

# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about

# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
#NameVirtualHost *:80

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *:80>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
# ServerName dummy-host.example.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

And: ServerRoot "C:/Apache/Apache2"

Howdy,

Are you running your server with multiple IP addresses or just one IP address?

Just the one IP address..
