placing www infront of my domain displays directory view - apache

I'm sorry if this is elsewhere on SO, but I can't find anything that can help me with my issue.
A while back, I updated my server, which wrecked the LAMP stack. So I installed it all again, but I must have done something wrong.
When I try to enter my domain, with www infront, it displays the directory view.
It's like it totally disregards my .htaccess file.
I have the following file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
<VirtualHost *:80>
{comments}
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias domain.com domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/domain
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
{comments}
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
{comments}
</VirtualHost>
# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet
Besides that, I have the following line in the top (amongst some redirects) of my .htaccess file
Options -Indexes
I have no idea, how to fix this.
I don't want people in the directory view. And unfortunately some browsers automatically place www infront, plus a lot of people write www in front of urls.
Thanks in advance

1- Replace ServerAlias domain.com domain.com by ServerAlias www.domain.com domain.com.
2- Replace AllowOverride None by AllowOverride All in your Apache configuration file.
This way, your .htaccess will be able to override some general configuration primitives, like displaying indexes.
Once it works, modify AllowOverride All to put only what is really needed, for security reasons.

I solved this myself.
I found out that I had a default.conf, that the www trigered.
So changing this to direct to my folder for the domain, worked.
Thanks to #Alexandre Fenyo for the help

Unable to get Apache docker container to serve virtual host with subdomain

I have a site I currently run that works well, but both to learn and to make it more portable, I've been trying to dockerize it. I'm using the offical apache and php images, and setup my virtual hosts identical to how I have on the running site, just with different domains. Unfortunately, while I can get one to work, the second does not.

Originally, I had the first vhost (api.gamersplane) second, but thought maybe it was the server alias that was the problem. Then I switched positions, and even commented out the base (gamersplane.local), but had no luck. This works on the running site, so I can't figure out what's wrong with it.
Checking the headers returned by Postman, I do see it has the Apache and PHP headers, so it seems to be hitting SOMETHING, I just don't know what.

404 Not Found in incorrect Apache configuration

I have a problem that apache configuration. Here my virtual host setting.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName orocrm.75cl.sg
DirectoryIndex app.php
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/oro/web
<Directory /var/www/html/oro/web>
# enable the .htaccess rewrites
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
But, when I access to other menus, http://orocrm.75cl.sg/oro/web/app.php/ is always shown in front of the my targeted menu. So, it was shown 404 page. e.g http://orocrm.75cl.sg/oro/web/app.php/magento/cart/. It should be like that http://orocrm.75cl.sg/app.php/magento/cart/
May I know how do I fix this issue.
I recall that some versions of Apache come with a pre-configured vhost to point to the welcome.conf and such.
So I would suggest commenting the welcome.conf which is at /etc/httpd or on some distros /etc/apache2 and in those same directories find and remove any installation virtual hosts.
After that you should be free of conflicts as the pre defined virtualhost is like follows:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/welcome"
And that is all I can remember from last time looking at the file.
Enjoy

Apache AliasMatch shows content of directory?

What I'm trying to achieve is quite simple. I want Apache to use the content of /home/user/www/bar/public when users go to www.example.com/foo/bar. The bar part may change and I want Apache to be able to change the directory in consequence.
I tried to do this. And it works but it won't load my index.php file and actually shows the content of the directory...
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
AliasMatch ^/foo/(.*)$ /home/user/www/$1/public
<Directory /home/user/www/$1/public>
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
There isn't any .htaccess file and it doesn't need one because I managed to make it work with a subdomain :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName test.example.com
DocumentRoot /home/user/www/test/public
<Directory /home/user/www/test/public>
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I'm really stuck and any help would be great ! Thank you.
You can't reuse the "$1" in the section because that's local to the AliasMatch.
You can simply use a wildcard if you are okay with applying the contents to every public dir under every subdir of /home/user/www

Apache Passenger handle 'www' in url

I've an application deployed to EC2 using passenger and apache2.
I've registered a domain (not with AWS) and have two 'A' records pointing to my instance's elastic IP
appname.com.
*.appname.com.
In my apache2.conf file (below), I've got ServerName appname.com
The application is working perfectly when you type appname.com into a browser. But if you put www.appname.com into the browser, you just get the default apache page.
Does anyone know what I put in ServerName to handle both? I've tried adding another ServerName line under the first but it doesn't work.
Thanks for looking
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf
<IfModule mod_passenger.c>
PassengerRoot /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-5.0.6
PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1
</IfModule>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName appname.com
# !!! Be sure to point DocumentRoot to 'public'!
DocumentRoot /home/ubuntu/projects/appname/public
ErrorLog /home/ubuntu/projects/appname/log/error.log
RailsEnv development
<Directory /home/ubuntu/projects/appname/public>
# This relaxes Apache security settings.
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
# MultiViews must be turned off.
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I solved it thanks to this post (shame you can't thank on the other stack sites using your stackoverflow reputation)
Under
ServerName appname.com
you put
AliasName www.appname.com
or even better
AliasName *.appname.com

apache2 virtualhost configuration with two subdirectories

I'm running Apache 2.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 server. It's purpose is a mail server so it has postfix, dovecot and roundcube on it (amongst other things). I'm trying, and failing, to configure Apache to serve the pages that I want.
I have an SSL certificate installed and working correctly. I want to force all access over HTTPS so I have:
<VirtualHost *:80>
Redirect / https://mailserver.hni.ae/
</VirtualHost>
Both sets of files to be served are under /var/www/html, the first being /var/www/html/A and the other /var/www/html/B (let's say). I have configured my /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf (which has a symlink to ./sites-enabled) to be:
<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/private/mycert.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/mycert.key
ServerAdmin webmaster#mydomain.com
ServerName www.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory /var/www/html/A>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/html/B>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from All
Allow from 192.168.1.1
</Directory>
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
And that works. I can go to www.mydomain.com/B and it serves the login page for those pages (only when I access from the specified IP address), and www.mydomain.com/A and login to the pages from app A.
My problem: I want to be able to go to www.mydomain.com/C and just plain www.mydomain.com and be redirected to www.mydomain.com/A but when I use Redirect ... the server gets into a loop and tries to serve www.mydomain.com/AAAAAAA.... I suspect I should use the RedirectMatch temp ^/$... directive but can't get that to work either. Maybe something to do with the Redirect for :80 to :443 clashing? There is no .htaccess involved as I'm using AllowOverride None.
I've read the Apache 2.4 documentation thoroughly but just can't figure it out. Any suggestions?
You can use a RewriteRule. Add this to your VirtualHost:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(C/?|)$ /A [R,L]
Make sure mod_rewrite is enabled too.
Explanation:
Regex ^/(C/?|)$ will match /C optionally followed by a /, or just / i.e. the root of www.mydomain.com
