Hi.

I'm currently trying to configure Apache 2.0.40 on a machine running Linux Redhat 9.0 (with PHP/mySQL).

Since this is a publicly accessible server, I have created some virtualhosts for testing purposes, and for access to various functions. Also, it's within the VirtualHost configuration the problem arises.

Dont get me wrong, the VirtualHosts are working, but only to a ceratin point (Description below).

When i open f.ex. http://privat.sveg.servemp3.com a test page comes up, thats fine enough. Problem is that the test page should not come up. I've made a temporary index.php page containing the following code:
This page is not showed at all. When I look in the error log, it displays:
For the virtualHost configuration directives (httpd.conf), I have the following:
Permissions on the files and directoryes mentioned herein are all set to 755, and the owner:group permissions are correct for my setup.

Please dont ask me if I've read the manuals, trust me, I've read them from beginning to end regarding the virtualhost directive, and Options direcetive, also documentroot.
I dont mind replys in swedish, I'm just not sure how to exactly get my point made as I'm not that good at writing technical swedish.
If anyone have experienced similar problems and have solved them, please, let me know. If you know of a friend that have had this problem, also please let me know.

(Btw, if this is the wrong place to post this, I'm sorry)

Thanks in advance for help/tips/pointers solving this problem.

Wn utvidgar :D
Dags för en engelsk forumdel snart också? B)

Try adding a / to the directory:
DocumentRoot /home/www/privat.sveg.servemp3.com/

You also might want to try the "serveralias" attribute just to make sure things are working:
ServerAlias *.servemp3.com

try without :80 , like this...
And like qrazzy said, with a ending /

added "Option all" , apache2 is somewhat different from Apache 1.x.x , may work better with that.

NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.4
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.4>
ServerName sveg.servemp3.com
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /home/www/sveg.servemp3.com
Options All
ErrorLog /home/www/error_log
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.4>
ServerName privat.sveg.servemp3.com
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /home/www/privat.sveg.servemp3.com
Options All
ErrorLog /home/www/error_privat_log
</VirtualHost>

thanks for the answers, will try them as soon as i'm home from work :)

will let you know whether or not they worked.

If I understand the documentation correctly
if the Options directive is missing, it defaults to All.

But, I'm not saying you're incorrect, or that I'm incorrect, it's just that the above sentence can be misunderstood.

Ops, try with indexes and follow symlinks
Correct that all is default ;)

Humn sounds more to me that .php may be excluded from the DirectoryIndex in httpd.conf

And if you have one index.html and one index.php in the same directory, index.html will most likely show up. Depending of the order of appearance in the DirectoryIndex syntax.

I belive that the Document root should the fine according to the errormessage that points to /home/www/privat.sveg.servemp3.com/

I would try with the following basic settings to begin with, just to see if that works.

Sorry, but that is not the case. I always go through the config file, looking for the basic settings, and yes, DirectoryIndex is of course one of them.
But anyway, the problem is solved. The problem was the port number of the NameVirtualHost and VirtualHost alternatives. When removed (and the index page exists in the dir you're trying to set as documentroot) it's working perfectly.

There is no need for adding a / at the end. However, if you define a directory alias, and add a / at the end, it is required to be present also in the url to work properly.

Thanks for all the suggestions/tips received. :D
