VHost Not Working using AWS AMI httpd - apache

I'm currently creating an application using AWS AMI, and it comes w/ an httpd 2.4.10. Here was the steps I followed on creating the vhost
sudo mkdir /etc/httpd/sites-available
sudo mkdir /etc/httpd/sites-enabled
edited /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to have IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf
created realtydig.conf inside /etc/httpd/sites-available
symlinked it to /etc/httpd/sites-enabled
sudo apachectl restart
sudo service httpd restart
*still the default httpd page is the one showing, vhost not pointing to domain
here's the vhost
xml
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName beta.realtydig.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/realtydig/laravel
<Directory "var/www/realtydig/laravel/public">
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I would like to understand, what happened wrong. It seems to be loading up since error occured w/ some of my previous typos when i was trying to restart the application.

If "nothing happened" then I assume that you see just white empty page in browser. Usually some other vhost will be see if current vhost is not activated.
DocumentRoot must be pointing to the public folder like this
DocumentRoot /var/www/realtydig/laravel/public
You can debug by creating test.html inside the DocumentRoot and try to access it from the browser.

How to add a domain name in local with Apache?

I have a website which I used to deploy in localhost running the command: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start and then typing the URL: http://XXX/myfirstphpsite/src where XXX is my IP address and myfirstphpsite/src the repertory containing my website.
However, now I want to type the following URL:
http://pharaohohparis.tld instead of the last URL to deploy in local my website.
For that, I did the following:
I went to the repertory: /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and created a new file named: pharaohofparis.tld.conf in which I inserted:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName pharaohofparis.tld
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/myfirstphpsite/src
<Directory /var/www/html/myfirstphpsite/src>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I actived the virtual host by typing:
sudo a2ensite pharaohofparis.tld.conf
sudo service apache2 reload
I edited the file /etc/hosts by adding the line:
127.0.0.1 pharaohofparis.tld
However, when I type the URL: http://pharaohofparis.tld, I got the DNS error "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN". How can I fix this ?
EDIT: THE PROBLEM WAS LINUX SUBSYSTEM. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM IS A REAL UBUNTU.
As I said in my Edit above: the problem was apparently Linux Subsystem. There was no problem is a real Ubuntu.

Host Multiple Domains on One Server/IP

I have phpList already setup and Codeigniter project that I want to add in one server.
The phpList configuration which is located /etc/httpd/conf.d/phplist.conf has:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName phplist.example.com
ServerAdmin admin#example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/phplist-3.0.5/public_html
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/phplist_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/phplist_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Here is my possible setting for the CI project, but I don't know how to create one.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName listcsv.com
ServerAdmin admin#listcsv.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/citest/index.php
</VirtualHost>
Below the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file has a IncludeOptional conf.d/*.conf so I think this would include the configuration file on phplist.
I don't know what settings and where configuration file should I go,
should I edit on /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf or just add it together with the phpList configuration at /etc/httpd/conf.d/phplist.conf?
I tried accessing phplist at http://phplist.example.com but the site cannot be reached.
I could access the phpList by going to http://server-ip-address/lists/admin on the browser.
Also, I cannot access the CI project.
I would recommend creating the directory that the virtual hosts will be stored in, as well as the directory that tells Apache that a virtual host is ready to serve the website
sudo mkdir /etc/httpd/sites-available # vhost files
sudo mkdir /etc/httpd/sites-enabled # symbolic links for vhost enabled
Tell Apache where to look for virtual hosts
sudo vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add this line at the end of the file
IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf
Save and exit.
For each website/domain create its own vhost
sudo vim /etc/httpd/sites-available/example1.com.conf
sudo vim /etc/httpd/sites-available/example2.com.conf
sudo vim /etc/httpd/sites-available/example3.com.conf
Enable the virtualhost
sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/sites-available/example1.com.conf /etc/httpd/sites-enabled/example1.com.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/sites-available/example2.com.conf /etc/httpd/sites-enabled/example2.com.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/sites-available/example3.com.conf /etc/httpd/sites-enabled/example3.com.conf
We done, restart your Apache server for the changes to take affect
sudo apachectl restart
Don't forget to point your domains to the web server's public IP address.

Apache doesn't use DocumentRoot after upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10 (Uses default page that says "It works!")

I have various virtual hosts for my web development work, including
cnm. The
sites-available/cnm
my file says very simply:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName cnm
DocumentRoot /var/www/cnm/public_html
</VirtualHost>
I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10, and when I point my browser to cnm/, I see the
/var/www/index.html file that seems to be indicated in the default file
sites-available/000-default.conf
which says (among other things):
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www
What do I need to do to get Apache to read my cnm document root when I browse to cnm/ ?
NOTES:
I already tried renaming my sites-available/cnm file to sites-available/cnm.conf and enabling it with a2ensite cnm and service apache2 reload. That is a good thing, but it changes nothing.
I already tried changing <VirtualHost *:80> to <VirtualHost cnm.localhost> or to <VirtualHost cnm>. That did nothing.
Ubuntu 13.10 uses apache 2.4, you should check all your apache configuration. But for this present case you should note that a2ensite and a2dissite commands won't be able to see your files in /etc/apache2/sites-available if it does not end with .conf, so rename it to sites-available/cnm.conf and run a2ensite cnm.
Then your Virtualhost definition is certainly better with *:80, it means this virtualhost is activated for all IP interfaces (*) on port 80. cnm.localhost or cnm are not valid values here, only IP numbers (Ip of your apache server) or * for all, and a port number.
Then check how you configuration is read by apache, running theses commands:
# load apache env
# be careful, there is a dot and a space
. /etc/apache2/envvars
# Check apache Virtualhosts config
apache2 -S
You should get something like:
VirtualHost configuration:
*:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server something (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost something (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost cnm (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/cnm.conf:4)
If it is ok, and if you have the right Ip in your hosts file for cnm, and you can test that with a ping, then using http://cnm/ should use the Virtualhost having cnm in the ServerName.
If you have an answer from the default Virtualhost then it means apache is not finding the name used in your Host header in the list of ServerName and ServerAlias available for that IP/port and fallbacks to the default Virtualhost. If you are really stuck (and you did not forgot to restart) you can always remove the default Virtualhost and keep only the one you are working on.
I found the answer to my issue. I needed to delete the files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled.
Delete files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
Rename config files in /etc/apache2/sites-available to have a .conf ending
For each file in sites-available, run sudo a2ensite mysite.
Run sudo service apache2 reload
I couldn't find any step by step tutorial on how to make it work on my side. I gathered bits and pieces here and there, so for those who need all the steps to follow, here there are:
$ sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/local-mydefault.conf
$ sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/local-mydefault.conf
Paste the following into the local-mydefault.conf file (Change the path '/your/full/path' to where you want to have your files. And change username to your own username):
# ------------------------------------------------------
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /your/full/path
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /your/full/path>
DirectoryIndex index.php
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
User username
Group username
# ------------------------------------------------------
Then type the following commands
$ cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
$ sudo a2ensite local-mydefault.conf
$ sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
I found the answer to this issue:
When upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10, the DocumentRoot does not seem to make a difference.
This is because Apache 2.4 moved the Directory configuration somewhere else. Your old .conf files still have these lines:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/myVhost"
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/myVhost">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Remove (or comment out) the <Directory> directives so you only have:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/myVhost"
Now reload your settings: service apache2 reload and DocumentRoot is back. :)
Rename the file configuration "cnm" with the extension .conf
mv sites-available/cnm sites-available/cnm.conf
a2ensite sites-available/cnm.conf
And ready!
service apache2 reload
I have the same issue
on way is to disable 000-default and reload apache ,but this isn't the solution becuase you must have just one vhost at a same time :(
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
sudo service apache2 reload
I ran into a similar issue. My server name and my FQDN were the same to the default was running into the /var/www/html directory. I disabled the default configuration and my site worked like a breeze. Thanks #regilero.
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
fixed it for me.

Forbidden error in apache virtual host setup

Hello I have been looking through internet articles forums to solve my issue and so far it has been to no avail. I am trying to set up an Apache virtual host for my FuelPHP development on localhost but I keep getting slammed with the error 403 message. Here is my current setup.
#/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#example.com
DocumentRoot "/home/supercomputer/Desktop/PHP/fuelProject/public"
ServerName localhost.home
<Directory "/home/supercomputer/Desktop/PHP/fuelProject/public" >
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I have pointed my Docroot to the public folder inside my fuelProject. Also to make sure Apache had access to the server files, I set the permissions for all of the files recursively to read, write, and execute just to be a 100% safe. Any clues as to what else could be going wrong?
PS: I am running ubuntu raring (13.04)
PSS: And I am trying to visit localhost.home and localhost.home/index.php. I also get the following warnings upon restarting the server
* Restarting web server apache2 apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[Fri May 03 15:46:58 2013] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
... waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[Fri May 03 15:46:59 2013] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
Here is the correct way of adding Vhost for fuelphp application or any other php application
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost.home
DocumentRoot /home/supercomputer/Desktop/PHP/fuelProject/public
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
<Directory /home/supercomputer/Desktop/PHP/fuelProject/public>
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And also the below line is not required I dont know why you have added
NameVirtualHost *:80
After doing all above add a host entry to your machine to do that
sudo vi /etc/hosts
add an entry of the virtual host
127.0.0.1 localhost.home
After doing all these things
restart Apache by running
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
And just load http://localhost.home in your browser you should be able to see your site up and running .
If you still get forbidden error .you need to give permissions to your whole application folder
follow run these commands to do so
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /home/supercomputer/Desktop/PHP
sudo chmod -R 775 /home/supercomputer/Desktop/PHP
At last add yourself to www-data group
sudo adduser yourUserName www-data
The configuration I posted were working. The problem was with permissions. I had set only my containing fuel project folder to permission 777 but for some reason apache wanted access to almost all the folders containing it. Weird I know but setting all the permissions to 777, it worked. Reading the darn apache log sure helped. If you are having a similar problem, I suggest find the apache log and ACTUALLY READ IT
Testeed on Ubuntu 14.04: I did everything above but I didn't work. I missed to allow access to the directory in my apache2.conf. This is needed if you don't use a standard directory like /var/www or /usr/share/.
<Directory /usr/local/vufind>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
This was mentioned on the4 default PHP site. It's worth reading it!

Error starting apache from terminal after removing MAMP

I removed MAMP recently.
When I try to start apache from Terminal using:
sudo apachectl -k restart
I am getting the message
Warning: DocumentRoot [usr/docs/dummy-host.example.com] does not exist.
First, make sure you're actually trying to execute the proper version of apachectl by issuing the following command:
which apachectl
(You don't want to see any MAMP references there).
Next, find your virtual hosts config (which is likely here if your MAMP references are gone)
/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Make sure your virtual host definitions are good. (Sounds like you're referencing a bad one).
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot "/Users/yourusername/Sites/mysite"
ServerName mysite.local
ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/mysite-error_log"
CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/mysite-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>
(If you're using a custom server name other than 'localhost' like I've defined above, just be sure your /etc/hosts file is up to date with that entry like this:
127.0.0.1 mysite.local
Don't forget to restart apache!
sudo apachectl restart
You probably need to go to apache config file (something like etc/apache2/apache2.conf) and set it an existing document root directory. That is usually done with DocumentRoot directive in this file, or one of the included virtual host config definitions.
Make sure you comment out all the lines inside the /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf file otherwise you will get the errors.
