I would like to deploy a Yii app to Amazon EC2.
I've installed httpd, mysql, php and all the necessary modules.
The app was running fine on my wampserver localhost.
I've transferred everything (DB, app folder) but I'm having issues with accessing the site. I see default apache site, and I see directory structure under var/www/html/app folder, and var/www/html/app/web gives a blank page (or Internal Server Error). I have a .htaccess file in var/www/html/app/web. I was searching a lot, and have found informations about allowoverride, virtual hosts (I have only IP, what is server name then? the IP?), etc, and have tried a few different things, but I don't want to mess it completely up, and I'm pretty sure it must be some very simple adjustments to make it work, but I don't know what (maybe some settings with EC2 like elastic IP? I dont yet have that one but I'm not sure I need it). I don't have much experience, can you please point me to the right direction what else I have to set in order to make it work? Thank you very much!
UPDATE: I have set Elastic IP up and registered a domain.
I have simply chosed another image, and without any special actions it works. The first was an Amazon Image, now it's an Ubuntu.

I have created a virtual server say aaa.com but when I access the site (via editing my hosts file on Windows 7, cos I have a live aaa.com running on the Internet), it brings me to my other virtual server's site I have, like bbb.com
Why is that? I don't have any redirection running. Not in my script files (like html or php) and no redirection set under "Server Configurations" -> "Website Redirects" and none at "Services" -> "Click Configure Website" -> "Aliases and Redirects." The only script files I have are fresh new WordPress installation files (under home/aaa/public_html).
How do I fix this?
Mullazman is right (thanks!). I have just had this problem after enabling the SSL on the domain A. Then, all the domains in the same installation were pointing to A.
I fixed it by editing the file located in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/A.conf and changing the first line:
Wrong line -> <VirtualHost A.B.C.D:80>
Correct line -> <VirtualHost *:80>
Had the same issue. For anyone interested it's because I had at the header of my sites-enables/aaa.com.conf which was picking up all requests and send them to the first host.
Change it to and it started directing traffic to the correct virtual hosts.
It was triggered when I enabled SSL on aaa.com, it for some reason re-wrote the config file to use IP based filtering not domain name
Try to delete browser cache with CTRL+F5,
then try again. If that doesn't help, check virtualhost configuration files -maybe there lies the problem.
The solution I found
I had the same problem ...
And I ended up with a lot of doubts ...
And I searched for a SOLUTION for this case, I hope to help ...
1 - Should the BIND have an external or internal IP in the domain? I use only one IP for all servers, and in BIND all domains are with external IP. (The question is whether it should be external or internal IP).
R = Yes, you must configure the internal IP in Virtualmin, prefer to edit the file. Only in localhost you should have 127.0.0.1
2 - Would NGINX have any configuration? How to remove IP and just put (listen *: 80) instead of (listen 288.218.198.981:80)
R = This configuration was changed but then I had problems with DNS and I returned to use the INTERNAL IP (not the localhost) ... Normally this IP starts as: 10.1xx.xx.xx
But which configuration would work in general?
Restart these steps ...
If you still have an error ...
Back up ... And in Virtualmin settings ...
Edit Virtual Server >> Activate Features >>
Uncheck NGINX, BIND, NGINX SSL.
He will ask for confirmation and click to confirm.
After this process is completed, return to the same option and reschedule ...
This will make it delete the old ones and put a new one.
(This works great for those who changed hosting and has old settings).
If you are importing a backup. Do not select the DNS and NGINX option ...
One tip is to create Virtual Server {your domain / site} First of all ...
And only then only import directories and databases ...
So you will not have problems with DNS and wrong redirects ...
Update
This also occurs when the SSL certificate is not issued correctly.
Folder permissions are incorrect.
Chmod 0755 folders
0644 Files
SOLUTION!!!
Cheap workaround let us say our domain is domain.xyz
Under the BindDNS Master Zone for domain.xyz create a cname record I believe it is listed in webmin as Name Alias and name it 000.domain.xyz
Under apache create a virtual server with the name 000.domain.xyz and make sure it has the same directory as domain.xyz
After this is done you are golden all your websites will come up as they should!
Is it proper well maybe not.
Does it work well like a charm of course otherwise I wouldn't be sharing for some reason the way the severs are listed it defaults to the first on the list well that'll fix that there should be a method of pinning the servers or doing something to prevent such a thing from happening what a pain in the rear I spent a full day dumbfounded thinking what in the world is going on I am losing my touch.
If this helps give a like if its wrong apologies all I know is that it works.
Read the thread.
Many folks claim this is an SSL thing.
Zero people have eluded to the true method of fixing it or the proper directions to do so or if they did I'm too blind to see it.
The guy below me commenting hrmmm... Yeah browser caches for my website didn't exist on my devices I tried them on to verify that was not the problem. But yes this is a typical problem with a lot of things indeed. It is the only reason I have several browsers on my PC actually for that reason. For a while there there were pages that chrome would function with that IE wouldn't or Firefox would best them both. Not to mention cache is always a pita its always usually one of my steps in troubleshooting any issues with web pages. I'll even try openDNS or other DNS servers.
But holy cats I can't believe how fast DNS just updates once you got things set it makes me wonder if there is a lot of fudge in propigation when you purchase hosting being "24 -48 hours" I think there is a lot of fudge in those numbers after my experiences trying to figure out what was causing the issue here. Some servers struggle yes but for the most part it was pretty instant for me.
In my case it happened after creating SSL certificate, I forgot to do:
Edit Virtual Server -> Enable Apache SSL Website
I've just reset my Ubuntu 14.04 LAMP server hosted with digital ocean. Could someone tell me the 'proper' way to do server configuration. My goal is to do everything as clean as possible (and hopefully well structured).
I intend on using the server mainly for programming and data analytics, however I do plan on hosting my website in /var/www/html. I also plan on using letsencrypt/certbot to get an easy SSL. With this in mind, these are the main goals I would like to accomplish:
1) Redirect the website to ALWAYS be served through https AND www.
2) Enable HSTS for the entire website.
3) Enable clean url's (remove .php extensions and what not).
Since I would like all of these properties to be used across the entire website, should the configuration be done inside of the /etc/apache2/ folder? Or should it be done inside of .htaccess?
And if it should be done inside of apache2 configuration, which file should I add it to? And finally, how exactly should it be added? (for example vhost 80/443, inside of a mod_something section, etc).
Thank you in advance, I would appreciate and consider any advice about Apache and htaccess!
I had a shared hosting package with 1and1 and I just moved over to their VPS hosting that uses Plesk. I already had the domains moved over the VPS server and I already uploaded all of the files via FTP.
I talked to an agent yesterday and he helped me setup the main page on the website so that it would go to the appropriate root directory. The main website is working properly whenever I go the main domain name, however, whenever I go to website.com/blank or website.com/stuff, I receive a 404 error.
The strange part is that I see the files in Plesk file manager, I just don't know why they are not displaying properly. I didn't change anything in the migration process.
I did not change the code on any of the pages and I have contacted their customer support team a number of times, but they have been unable to resolve the issue.
Can anyone tell me what I should do to make sure that the files are associated with the correct pages?
Have you checked the permission for the files and folder under your domain, this seems to be an issue with either your ownership or permission of the files. And if thats not the problem it could even be your .htaccess file.. make sure you have transferred your .htaccess file as well from old shared hosting to new VPS.
I'm running apache 2.2.24 on Max OS X 10.9.1. Currently, we have a network drive that we access all of our Git repos on at /Volumes/GitWebsites. I would like to configure Apache to serve our PHP based repos from that directory. So, localhost (or 127.0.0.1)/phpsite1/ or /phpsite2? etc. will serve sites from /Volumes/GitWebsites/phpsite1/ or /phpsite2/ in the browser. My two questions are:
Do I simply modify the server root or do I need to use the mod-alias in the httpd.conf file?
What are the permission setting I need to in order for apache to access /Volumes/GitWebsites ?
I've done configuration changes like this in IIS 7.5 and set up a NodeJS dev environment but still new to make large scale changes to Apache. Thanks for any help given.
If you are happy with serving the contents of /Volumes/GitWebsites as it is then it should be fine to point the document root at it. It's also makes it easy to add sites later.
However this could be troublesome later if you want to manage php configuration later on for the sites separately.
I have tried everything possible and am out of ideas as to why my favicon is still not appearing. If I told you how much time I've spent trying to figure this out you'd understand why i'm on the verge of losing my mind.
Here's the rundown [i'm not technical- just starting to learn so please bear with me]:
I'm using Amazon S3 as my host. GoDaddy is the DNS and I have forwarding with a mask setup so that the amazon endpoint is directed to the actual domain.
Here's the strange thing-- the favicon appears on the amazon endpoint but doesn't on the forwarded domain which is where I want it to appear. The favicon also appears when I do some testing using Dreamweaver.
I can assure you that it isn't a matter a clearing the cache as I've done that numerous times and have ran tests to make sure that it's working. I've tried all the possible different types of variations of code and nothing works. I'm led to believe that it's not an issue with the code, cache, file but rather something else that is out of my realm of knowledge.
So I come to Stackoverflow.
Please-- any help will be GREATLY appreciated!
For anyone having such problem - making the favicon public and using a direct link found in the file's properties on s3 did the charm.
That means use a full URL that is always going to work from everywhere. Depending on how things are set-up a hostname could resolve to something like localhost on multiple machines, so you want to make sure that the host name you're using always has the resource at that location. CORS should have anything to do with it as it is a standard full GET request.
