Topic: log files and ssi not working with virtual hosting

[nyteshade]

I just got my browser to work with my vhost setup under winXPSP3 and Apache2.2. The apache default server root works as it did prior to setting up vhosts, i.e., all my php includes and html and ssi includes work, no problem. However, the ssi and html includes in my newly created vhost directories are not showing up in the browser pages?!?! The php includes work fine. I've tried all I know which ain't much, been working with Apache/PHP/CSS/HTML/regex setup for just about 6 months. Help! Here's my httpd-vhosts.conf:

because C:/vHosts/* is a completely different place from C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/*

Directory works from that point forward.
As you've got configured, C:/vHosts/* has no nothing (Options None, AllowOverride None)

However,
<Directory "C:/vHosts">
Options Indexes Includes etc.
AllowOverride Authconfig FileInfo etc.
# No Order and Allow from here since I do not want to allow
# every single location above this directory access. Do that per-directory
# Later in config
</Directory>

with respect to Options and AllowOverride would cover the following:
C:/vHosts/rcs.meinsandkasten.com/web
C:/vHosts/some.other.hostname/web
C:/vHosts/*

except you can override if needed
<Directory "C:/vHosts/yet.another.hostname/web">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

would force C:/vHosts/yet.another.hostname/web to now have
no SSI, no Indexes, no custom error docs, no nothing.

You would then still need to give explicit access to the actual document root
<Directory "C:/vHosts/rcs.meinsandkasten.com/web">
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

Logs;

Correct, because logs/* = Server_Root/logs/*
see the third paragraph of the comments at the top of httpd.conf

Firstly, thanks for the detailed reply. I've been up since 2:30 looking it over in tandem with the documentation at the apache website. I fixed my problem with your suggestions and here's what I did:

This sums it up pretty good
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride

As far as book ... not sure.
Apache Cookbook has probably more than an average person ever wanted to know. I've never seen it so I do not know if it is any easier/harder to understand than the documentation.

Thx again.
