Post subject: Virtual Host Question
Archived from groups: alt>apache>configuration, others (more info?)

I am setting up my Mandrake 10 station as a development machine for
web sites. I generally use PHP for these types of sites.
I want to setup my machine to allow virtual directories as websites.
For example under Windows, I have the following directory structure:
d:\projects - with the sites underneath \site1\website,
\site2\website...
So for site1, I'd have c:\projects\site1\website\index.php as my main
file. I'd setup a virtual directory in IIS as http://kai/site1, which
woudl point to that index.php
Under Linux, I think I've almost got it. I have the following
direcotry structure...
\projects\site1\website.
I setup my /etc/httpd/conf/VirtualHost.conf file to have the
following:
<VirtualHost kai>
DocumentRoot /projects/site1/website
ServerName site1
</VirtualHost>
I'm not sure if I need to change the hosts file or not - do I?
Anyway, when I go to the browser, I type in http://kai/site1 and I get
a Permission denied error. It does find the page, but doesn't allow me
to load it. What do I need to do. The directory is set for 777
permissions.
Also, what do I need to use to make this easy? I want to add many more
virtual sites on my machine. Is there a configuration tool under
Mandrake 10? I haven't been able to find one as yet.
TIA

My guess is that you've got no index.html or index.php file in the
directory.
What username is your Apache configured to use? "nobody"? "httpd"?
What user and/or group owns the DocumentRoot directory and/or the
directories and files contained therein?
Do *not* grant "world write access" to the directories and files in your
DocumentRoot.

Use your existing virtual host "stanzas" as templates for all the rest.
Copy and paste.
Use vi.
Don't develop dependencies on graphical applications for configuring
your server. You'll one day find yourself helplessly unable to do
something that needs to be done if you don't know how to do it the
"hard" way.

Hmm, interesting. I didn't know there was a username attached. I'll
look into it.

Um, Barney Rubble?  I'll look at that too.

Yeah, this was just to see why things wern't working. I need to see
how to chmod directories on a system I'm running and using. I'm more
used to directories on a hosted server.

That's been getting me started.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!
um, no. I spent way too long using edlin and vi in the past. :wq

Nah, I just find it easier to have something working then take it
apart and analyze, rather than spending frustrating hours figuring it
out with little success.
Thanks! I'll get into it in the morning again.

All directories and all files on a *nix system are owned by some user
and some group. This is inherent to the way in which the OS works.
This is also a key reason why no *nix viruses are running rampant in the
world. A virus first has to assume a valid identity on the system and
then obtain write permission before it can do *anything* to any file or
directory. System files are generally owned by the root user and the
root group. If a virus can't assume root identity it can do no harm to
the system.
Contrast this to Windows systems where virii assume the identity of
Administrator by default. Then go give some money to the company who
made such an awesome system the most common on planet Earth.

That was my best advice. Ignore it at your own risk. ZZ

I find myself still using vi a lot during ssh sessions.
edlin? Now *that* I wouldn't advise!

You're welcome. Did it help any?

I don't know if you are still monitoring this thread, but check this out:
<VirtualHost 63.246.10.216>
UseCanonicalName off
ServerName %1.mydomain.net
ServerAlias *.mydomain.net
VirtualDocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/hosts/mydomain.net/%1
</VirtualHost>
What this does is resolves all of the directories to domains. i.e.
forum.mydomain.net would be in /usr/local/apache/hosts/mydomain.net/forum
and <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.mydomain.net" target="_blank">www.mydomain.net</a> would be in
/usr/local/apache/hosts/mydomain.net/www
etc.
I do this myself to host customer sites with free subdomains. All of
these sites are pretty vanilla though, no special configuration
necessary, although I suppose you could use .htaccess if you needed
special directory configurations.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Virtual Host Question |

Hmm, very cool. I'll try it out.
I just need now to know what permissions to set.
