</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/www/db/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/db/requests.log combined
It's the config file I created in cong.d directory. I also changed the host file on my PC pointing mydomain.co to the server IP address. After I restarted my apache server, I go to db.mydomain.co which gives me db.mydomain.co’s server DNS address could not be found. But ironically, mydomain.co shows me the subdomain content and I won't be able to access the website hosted on my main domain. I'm using the distribution made by Amazon, and it's based on CentOS I think.
I really have no idea what's going on here. Any helps appreciated.

I would like to host two web application into single server but I am not having domain name instead I have IP Address, and it is an Remote Server.
I use LAMP and have created two Virtual Hosts for two separate web application and have enabled that also. Suppose if my Server IP is 192.168.XXX.XXX , then
My first Virtual host and Second one is same as first but project name will be changed
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#myfirstproject
ServerName 192.168.xxx.xxx.myfirstproject
ServerAlias 192.168.XXX.XXX
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/myfirstproject/public
<Directory "/var/www/html/myfirstproject/public">
AllowOverride all
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog "mypath"
CustomLog "mypath"
</VirtualHost>
If I call with 192.168.XXX.XXX.myfirstproject/ in browser it shows Domain not found error, but I did the same process in my local machine and it worked fine. Why its not working if we call from other computer ( Except locally ) and this is my /etc/hosts/ file content.
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.XXX.XXX 192.168.xxx.xxx.myfirstproject
192.168.XXX.XXX 192.168.xxx.xxx.mysecondproject
Can you please help me where I am going wrong?
What my expected output is: If I type 192.168.xxx.xxx.myfirstproject in browser it will load the content for myfirstproject and 192.168.xxx.xxx.mysecondproject in browser it will load the content for mysecondproject. Its working locally, but if i access it from other computer it won't work, that was my problem.
I have asked a similar question before
Restrict access to directories through ip address
at that time the problem was solved for apache 2.2. Recently I re-installed the OS (to Debian 8) and it comes with apache 2.4.
I want to restrict access to files - when the request comes "by" IP. Mainly if in the browser I try to open http://192.168.252.178/test/image.jpg it should show error - 403 forbidden. Directory test is in www directory of apache. However I should be able to access that image if I type http://www.example.com/image.jpg - considering that example.com points to that test directory.
With apache version 2.2 I would simply put this lines in my default site config file - and the problem was solved
<Files ~ ".+">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
Now, trying the same thing does not work: I am getting 403 forbidden even if I try to open any site by the domain name.
Considering the changes in 2.4 I also tried this, but again getting the the same 403 forbidden when trying to open some site.
<Files ~ ".+">
Require all denied
</Files>
My goal is to prevent any kind of access to directories and files - if they are being accessed through ip address. I have also this lines in my default site's config to prevent the directory access and this works fine.
<Directory /home/username/www>
Options -Indexes
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
So, the question is - how to prevent file access through IP address. Also I need to achieve this by apache config, by htaccess is not a solution for me. And I need to achieve this for all the directories/files inside www recursively, so specifying the exact file names and/or directories is not a solution either.
Thanks
When you use name based virtual hosts, the main server goes away. Apache will choose which virtual host to use according to IP address (you may have more than one) and port first, and only after this first selection it will search for a corresponding ServerName or ServerAlias in this subset of candidates, in the order in which the virtual hosts appear in the configuration.
If no virtual host is found, then the first VHost in this subset (also in order of configuration) will be choosen. More.
I mention this because it will be important you have only one type of VirtualHost directive:
<VirutalHost *:80>
or
<VirtualHost 123.45.67.89:80>
I'll use the wildcard in the example.
You need a directory like /var/www/catchall with a file index.html or similar, as you prefer.
<VirtualHost *:80>
# This first-listed virtual host is also the default for *:80
# It will be used as the catchall.
ServerName 123.45.67.89
# Giving this DocRoot will avoid any request based on IP or any other
# wrong request to get to the other users directories.
DocumentRoot "/var/www/catchall"
<Directory /var/www/catchall>
...
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
# Now you can add as usuall the configuration for any other VHost you need.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site1.com
ServerAlias www.site2.com
DocumentRoot "/home/username1/www"
<Directory /home/username1/www>
...
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site2.com
ServerAlias www.site2.com
DocumentRoot "/home/username2/www"
<Directory /home/username2/www>
...
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Debian specific :
For Debian, you ideally put one VHost configuration per file, and put the file in the /etc/apache2/sites-available directory.
Name the files as you like, only the file containing the catchall vhost should be named something like 000-catchall, because they will be read in alphabetic order from the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled directory.
Then you disable Debian's usual default site :
a2dissite 000-default
and you enable the new catchall site and the other VHosts if needed :
a2ensite 000-catchall
An ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabled command should show the catchall as the first of list, if not change its file name so that it will always be the first. Restart Apache: service apache2 restart
Of course you could do all this changes in the original default VHost config file, but I usually prefer keep an original model.
I want to have two webapps (webapp1 and webapp2 resident under /var/www/html/webapps/), both using PHP and JSP, running on the same machine:
Apache 2.4
Tomcat 7.0.50 (+APJ connector)
and want to make them accessible through the following URLs (with identical IP and ports):
localhost/webapp1
localhost/webapp2
I am aware of Virtual Hosts facility. The problem is that Apache seems to "see" only the first site available: whenever I look for localhost/webapp2, I get a 'Not Found' error. Note that if I look for "localhost:8080/webapp2" (i.e., bypassing apache2) everything works fine.
Each webapp has its own conf file under sites-available directory. For example, in webapp2.conf I have
JkMountCopy On
JkMount /webapp2/* tomcat_worker
How can I solve?
From the documentation
Note
Creating virtual host configurations on your Apache server does not magically cause DNS entries to be created for those host names. You must have the names in DNS, resolving to your IP address, or nobody else will be able to see your web site. You can put entries in your hosts file for local testing, but that will work only from the machine with those hosts entries.

I have a VPS running CentOS 5. I want to point multiple domains at the same VPS (point them at the same IP), but serve up distinct websites for each domain.
So, the setup I want is like this:
site1.com ----> 127.0.0.1 ----> /var/www/html/site1.com/
site2.com ----> 127.0.0.1 ----> /var/www/html/site2.com/
I've tried setting up virtual hosts through the CentOS GUI for Apache, but they don't seem to be working. Only the first virtual host added will work (i.e. If I add site1.com first, both domains direct to that site. If I add site2.com first, both domains direct to that site.)
What might I be doing wrong? Is there an effective step-by-step tutorial for newcomers to get me started?
Update
Please remember, I have little to no experience working with CentOS and Linux ... but I'm learning.
To those who asked to see the directives I'm using, here's what CentOS added to the bottom of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf when I used the built-in Apache GUI:
<VirtualHost skylarkapp.com:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/skylarkapp.com
<Directory "/var/www/html/skylarkapp.com">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
ServerName skylarkapp.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost eamann.com:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/eamann
<Directory "/var/www/html/eamann">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
ServerName eamann.com
</VirtualHost>
At the moment, all traffic to both skylarkapp.com and eamann.com on this system direct to the content of /var/www/html/skylarkapp.com.
Also, I'm using my Windows hosts file to manually point eamann.com to this server (204.92.23.6) because I'm in the process of migrating a live site. I want to get things working on the server before I actually move things from one box to another.
Name-based virtual hosts must be turned on explicitly with NameVirtualHost *:80. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html
This line:
<VirtualHost eamann.com:80>
won't work since eamann.com won't resolve to your CentOS server's IP address (only your Windows machine resolves eamann.com to 204.92.23.6). Try making apache listed on any IP by replacing with:
<VirtualHost *:80>
You probably also want:
ServerAlias www.eamann.com
to allow visitors to www.eamann.com to see the site as well. Restart apache after making these changes:
service httpd restart
Lets' asume I have 1 domain on a Ubuntu Server in the following directory:
/var/www/domain1.com/httpdocs
and that the ip address is 100.100.100.100
If I go to www.domain1.com, Apache will server the files inside the httpdocs folder.
How can I avoid that if the following file exists:
/var/www/domain1.com/privatefile.html
.. apache shows it by going to:
http://100.100.100.100/domain1.com/privatefile.html
In other words, I want to display the content in the httpdocs only, no by ip address.
In a vhost setup, Apache will use the first vhost defined as the default one to serve when a request comes in by IP. So just make a "dummy" vhost that points nowhere, and make sure it's the first one in the config file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName nothing.nowhere
ServerAdmin nobody#nothing.nowhere
DocumentRoot /var/empty
<Directory /var/empty>
Order Allow,Deny
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
