//

# MadJammer.no-ip.biz

ServerName madjammer.no-ip.biz

ServerAlias www.madjammer.no-ip.biz
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /home/madmaster/public_html/madjammer/sito
#if using awstats
ScriptAlias /awstats/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
#we want specific log file for this server
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/madjammer.com-access.log combined

Options All

AllowOverride All

order allow,deny

please help I need to understand

Cheers form italy!

Hi there,

Thankyou for your post, it was really great.
It went perfectly on my Linux machine. However, I wondered how to Enable virtual hosts on my mac
I have a mac book pro with tiger installed. I'm not sure about the version, i think it's 10.4 as it worked perfectly following this
tutorial on set up virtual hosts : http://hickit.com/category/unix/mac-os-x/10-4/server/apache2/virtual-hosts/
I post it here if any of you have a mac...

Thank you again,

Best regards

Ubuntu 8.04 Apache2 seems working "It Works" comes up in localhost.
PHP5 and MySQL installed.

Followed your http://www.debuntu.org/2006/02/22/7-virtual-hosting-using-apache-2 ....using dafhobson.com instead of example.com etc etc

In Firefox, typing dev.dafhobson.com I get:-

" Forbidden. You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3 with Suhosin-Patch Server at dev.dafhobson.com Port 80 "

The hosts file... /etc/apache2/hosts was defaulted to 127.0.0.1 = localhost. and 127.0.1.1 = kitchen-desktop (computer name)

Apache2 reload gives:-
* Reloading web server config apache2 apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

So in the hosts file I changed kitchen-desktop to dev.dafhobson.com (127.0.1.1) and restaring Apache2 gives:-
* Reloading web server config apache2 [ OK ]

I still have Frobidden message in Browser.

dafhobson.com uses some php.

Yes I'm obviously newbie but utterly determined never to return to Microsoft

If anyone can point me I would be grateful.
Daf Hobson

ps:

Just reinstalled Apache2 and localhost does not render "It Works"

Oh heck It's hell being a newbie

Thanks so much for the clear and simple guide. I have 2 PCs, one running Ubuntu 8.04 and one running Win XP in my home. I set up Apache2 with 2 samples sites on the Ubuntu PC as outlined and it works. But when I try to access those sample sites from the other PC (Win XP), the browser can't find the sites. Please help.

Hi, I followed this and other similar tutorials to have virtual host with apache2, but with in all cases i get the same, at the end of all when i have to restar my apache it fails, i tried with force-reload but i gives me the following error:

#/etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
Forcing reload of web server (apache2)....httpd (no pid file) not running
failed!

Hello:

I have two DNS names that are linked to my external IP address for my router. I have a server inside of my NAT and I am trying to get apache2 to work with virtual servers.

Right now I am only able to get the first website to show up and not the second. and I am unable to access the sites from the net for some reason (when not using virtual server I can access my single website) once I try to use multiple websites I can not access any of the sites from the web and only one of the sites from my local machine.

In my sites-available folder i have the following:

File ----- default

NameVirtualHost *:80
DocumentRoot /var/www

File ------ websites

< VirtualHost firstwebsite.com>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/first
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/first combined


< VirtualHost secondwebsite.com>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerAlias www.secondwebsite.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/second
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/second combined

In my sites-enabled folder i have the following:

File ----- 000-default (link to file mentioned above)

File ------ websites (link to file mentioned above)

In my hosts file i have the following

File ----- Hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost.domain localhost firstwebsite.com secondwebsite.com
127.0.1.1 servername

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback servername
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

I can start apache2 but get the following warnings:

* Reloading web server config apache2 12753
[Wed Apr 02 14:58:02 2008] [warn] The Alias directive in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf at line 240 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias.
[Wed Apr 02 14:58:02 2008] [warn] VirtualHost firstwebsite:0 overlaps with VirtualHost secondwebsite.com:0, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive
[Wed Apr 02 14:58:02 2008] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

Can anyone suggest how I would repair this problem? Why am I unable to host multiple websites and why can I not access any of them from the net?

Thanks.

Hai, Im in new user so here i dont understand , pls write details for me....

" Well, this only links to the file in directory /etc/apache2/sites-available/ . You might wonder what is the point in doing such. Well, this simply allows you, mainly when you are using your box as a web server, to:

1. Have a simple main configuration file

2. Do be able to edit or create a new host by creating/editing a file from /etc/apache2/sites-available/

3. In case your web server doesn't restart because of misconfiguration, you can simply remove the link from the file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ pointing to the malformed file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/

Now let say you want to be able to map the domain name dev.example.com to you local machine, using the code file in /home/myuser/public_html/example.com/.
While in /etc/apache2/sites-available, create a new file (let say example.com.conf)

$sudo vi example.com.conf

"

pls mail me ...
thanks

Is there a difference in configuring Virtual Host at Apache2 on Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS server from one that is written here?

Tnx for quick answer.

I added the virtual host and I think it is all configured right in the sites-enabled directory. I added my domain name to the hosts file.

When I go to my site, I get the apache default index file.

Index of /

link to apache2-default

Any Ideas?

I have added one more virtual host and got this message after restarting apache:
root@andrew-desktop:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled# apache2ctl -k restart
apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127. 0.1.1 for ServerName
[Wed Dec 06 22:46:19 2006] [warn] VirtualHost exampractice.com:0 overlaps with Vi rtualHost phpmyadmin.com:0, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirt ualHost directive

Do I have to use NameVirtualHost directive if I add more virtual host?

Regards,
Andrew

Hi,

I used the following:
<VirtualHost exampractice.com>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
#We want to be able to access the website using www.exampractice.com or just exampractice.com
ServerAlias www.exampractice.com
DocumentRoot /home/andrew/public_html/
#if using awstats
ScriptAlias /awstats/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
#we want specific log file for this server
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/exampractice.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

and then restarted apache2 and got the following error:
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Did I miss something?

Regards,
Andrew

Hello Folks

Set up my ubuntu apache server as suggested above when I browse locally to example.com I go to the right place, in my case home/darrenl/sites/ludlam/index.htm.

But after adding example.com to no-ip.com setting up my router I get redirected to the apache default homepage when I browse externally ie to /var/www/

Hope this is understandable
Darren

ln -s /etc/apache2/site-available/example.com.conf example.com.conf

should be:
ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf example.com.conf

Just a typo... nothing much

Thanks chantra
Very good help

Thanks for pointing this out Pushkar...(a pretty nice town by the way ;)), I corrected it.
