Editted Virtual Host ServerName in httpd.conf but it seems it did not take effect - apache

So I have 4 Virtual Host. I made the 3 Virtual Hosts 2 days ago and it
all works fine. When I made another Virtual Host the next day, it
won't load up the newly created Virtual Host. So I tried renaming the Server Name of my 1st Virtual
Host which is running.
I changed the ServerName and Alias of www.test1.biboglobal.com to hogehoge.com with still the directory of test1. Saved the file and restarted apache. But when I tried to browse hogehoge.com,it won't load the contents.
I tried browsing the test1.biboglobal.com and it still worked. But
that Server Name does not exist anymore because I changed it to
hogehoge.com.
I've searched all about httpd.conf not taking changes but found no answer. I hope someone can help me.
I also tried removing all Virtual Hosts and restarted Apache. But still, it was able to browse test1, test2, test3.biboglobal.com. Although it only displayed the Apache Test Page, not the index.html inside their respective directory.

Issue on creating a MAMP virtualhost

I'm trying to create a MAMP virtualhost so that I can use my laravel project easier, but whatever I do I get " Not Found The requested URL / was not found on this server " when entering localhost or my vh name (cms.dev)
I tried this : How to create virtual hosts in MAMP?
And this : http://eppz.eu/blog/virtual-host-for-mamp-on-osx/
Even reinstalled MAMP and I still have the same issue, I did everything the same way it's shown in these articles.
Here's my httpd-vhosts.conf config :
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "/Desktop/MAMP"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias www.dummy-host.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host2.example.com
DocumentRoot "/Desktop/MAMP/cms/public"
ServerName cms.dev
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-error_log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>
Do you guys know what's happening ???
Thanks
Your DocumentRoot paths are wrong. In MacOS, the Desktop folder is in /Users/[yourusername]/Desktop.

Virtual host points to global document root

I have a CentOS 7 server with apache. I have multiple virtual hosts running on the server. But one refuses to use the DocumentRoot that are specified for the virtual host in the http.conf file. It will only use the global DocumentRoot that are configured higher up in the httpd.conf file.
Have anyone else come across the same issue. I have been trying for a while now and i am all out good ideas.
Here is an example:
This works:
ServerAdmin uc#site1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/site1.com/public_html
ServerName site1.com
ServerAlias *.site1.com
ErrorLog logs/site1.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/site1.com-access_log common
This doesn't work
ServerAdmin uc#site2.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/site2.com/public_html
ServerName site2.com
ServerAlias *.site2.com
ErrorLog logs/site2.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/site2.com-access_log common

Apache IP Virtual Hosts

Server has two IPs, fresh centos min install. Apache is working, both ips load Apache test page. both www.domain.com and domain.com resolve to second IP.
I'd like for the first IP (192.168.0.1) to load Apache test page, this is working fine
I want the second IP (192.168.0.2) to load a website in /home/site/www
Currently when we goto domain.com or www.domain.com or 2nd IP it loads apache test page instead of the site, here's our config. Also I have the IPs listed as 192 instead of the real ips. What am I missing? Why isn't 192.168.0.2 loading /home/site/www instead of the Apache test page?
ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"
Listen 80
ServerName 192.168.0.1:80
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
<Directory "/var/www/html">
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.2:80
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.2:80>
DocumentRoot /home/site/www
ServerName mydomain.com
ServerAlias *.mydomain.com
ErrorLog logs/mydomain.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/mydomain.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
Update
The Fix
chcon -R --reference=/var/www /home/site/www
SELinux needed the correct permissions set on it, using the reference it copies the same permissions to my new folder
Try this:
ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"
Listen 80
ServerName 192.168.0.1:80
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.2:80
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName mydomain.com #change accordingly
ServerAlias *.mydomain.com
ErrorLog logs/mydomain.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/mydomain.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.2:80>
DocumentRoot /home/site/www
ServerName mydomain2.com
ServerAlias *.mydomain2.com
ErrorLog logs/mydomain2.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/mydomain2.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
Don't forget to apply the changes on apache.
service httpd reload or similar command.
Also, make sure the directory /var/www/html has, at least, reading permissions for the apache user.
You are missing the NameVirtualHost directive.
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.2:80
I would also highly suggest putting in Directory directives in as well.

Strange problem with Apache Virtual Hosts

I have recently installed Apache 1.3.41 on a Windows Vista machine. I have not changed the default settings in httpd.conf aprart from trying to setup virtual hosts, as follows:
Added some host names in the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
#::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 mysite
127.0.0.1 mydomain
I made the following folders in C:/Users/Moukasp/
C:/Users/Moukasp/Apache
C:/Users/Moukasp/django/mysite
Then added some simple html pages in each of those folder and the c:/Users/Moukasp/pictures folder and, finally, I added the following settings at the end of httpd.conf:
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1
<VirtualHost localhost>
# ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Moukasp/Apache"
ServerName localhost
Alias "/pics" "c:/users/moukasp/pictures"
Alias "/ap" "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs"
Alias "/dj" "C:/Users/Moukasp/django/mysite"
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost mysite>
# ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Moukasp/django/mysite"
ServerName mysite
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost mydomain>
# ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Moukasp/django/mysite"
ServerName mydomain
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
So, urls
http://localhost
http://localhost/pics
http://localhost/ap
http://localhost/dj
http://mydomain
work fine. But I there's no response from http://mysite which, as can be seen from the settings, serves from the same folder as http://mydomain. I have tried various names but no response. The hosts file is being read every time I start the Apache server. I even removed the mydomain server from the hosts file and the httpd.conf lest there's a limitation in the number of virtual hosts, but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, els I go mad! It is true, I have being trying this after complete failure to make Apache work with mod_python for django! I just hoped that a step at a time would lead to some success!
Try:
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
In your httpd.conf. My config file includes a comment stating a port-specifier should be used.
The VirtualHost and NameVirtualHost directives should have IP addresses and ports:
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
# ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Moukasp/django/mysite"
ServerName mysite
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
Tried NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80 but it doesn't make any difference! The only servers that work are localhost and mydomain.
I wonder whether I need to do something more than just declare the server name of each virtual host in the hosts file.
Try adding a port declaration to the hosts. For example:
<VirtualHost mydomain:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Moukasp/django/mysite"
ServerName mydomain
</VirtualHost>

Why does http://localhost redirect to my default virtual host once I setup virtual hosts in Apache?

This is probably an easy question, but I want to understand better how Apache works with virtual hosts. I am setting up virtual hosts because I work on multiple websites at once and I don't want to use subdirectories. I was pretty much using the default Apache httpd.conf file with the DocumentRoot pointing to something like "/www". I uncommented the virtual hosts include and added the following:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site1.dev
DocumentRoot /www/site1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site2.dev
DocumentRoot /www/site2
</VirtualHost>
Now when I go to http://localhost I get the default page for site1.
I'm sure there is a reason why this makes sense, but I don't quite understand it. I would've thought that only requests that were explicitly to http://site1.test would get routed through that directive and it wouldn't just become the default. Can someone explain why it becomes the default.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/name-based.html
(Should be true for 2.x also)
"If no matching virtual host is found, then the first listed virtual host that matches the IP address will be used.
As a consequence, the first listed virtual host is the default virtual host. The DocumentRoot from the main server will never be used when an IP address matches the NameVirtualHost directive. If you would like to have a special configuration for requests that do not match any particular virtual host, simply put that configuration in a container and list it first in the configuration file."
answer 1 is correct
and i'd add with namevirtualhosts as the first entry
essentially matches any not-named elsewhere virtualhost
it should ONLY be used to catch unintentional mal-formed and broken traffic
ie a machene with one ip called john.domain.com running www.domain.com and www.domain2.com as valid webservers on ip www.xxx.yyy.zzz might have an optimal config like thus
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/webserver/static-sites/unknown/
# a directory readable by apache with only a robots.txt denying everything
ServerName bogus
ErrorDocument 404 "/errordocuments/unknown-name.html"
#custom 404 describing how/what they might have done wrong try pointing a browser {with a hosts file at http://bogus/ on 193.120.238.109 to see mine#
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/unknown-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/unknown-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/webserver/static-sites/unknown/
# a possibly different directory readable by apache with only a robots.txt denying everything
ServerName www.xxx.yyy.zzz
ServerAlias john.domain.com
ErrorDocument 404 "/errordocuments/ip-name.html"
ErrorDocument 403 "/errordocuments/ip-name.html"
#custom 404 telling them as a likely hacker/bot you wish to have nothing to do with them see mine at http://193.120.238.109/
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/ip-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/ip-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.com
RedirectPermanent / http://www.domain.com/
ErrorLog logs/www.domain.com-error.log
CustomLog logs/www.domain.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/webserver/ftpusers/domain
ServerName www.domain.com
ServerPath /domain
ErrorLog logs/www.domain.com-error.log
CustomLog logs/www.domain.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain2.com
RedirectPermanent / http://www.domain2.com/
ErrorLog logs/www.domain2.com-error.log
CustomLog logs/www.domain2.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/webserver/ftpusers/domain2
ServerName www.domain2.com
ServerPath /domain2
ErrorLog logs/www.domain2.com-error.log
CustomLog logs/www.domain2.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Confirming that for Apache 2.x, the first virtual host (with the same port number) will be used if a matching virtual host is not found.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/details.html
"If no matching vhost could be found the request is served from the first vhost with a matching port number that is on the list for the IP to which the client connected"
You can always add this code below, put it right below NameVirtualHost *:80 so that your default document root is served by default if no other virtual hosts found.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /my/default/document/root
</VirtualHost>
Simply put this code at top in httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost localhost:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot d:/xampp/htdocs
<Directory "d:/xampp/htdocs/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
One way to do this is:
In your VirtualHosts configuration, enter the specific local site name you want to enable instead of using a wildcard:
<VirtualHost site1.dev:80> instead of <VirtualHost *:80>
Switch off NameVirtualHost *:80 which can be done by commenting it out in your vhosts.conf file
In your /etc/hosts file mention both aliases for the loopback IP:
127.0.0.1 localhost site1.dev
That's it. You should see that localhost goes to the default DocumentRoot as usual and the site1.dev goes to the site you've setup as virtual host.
