i've read wordpress and the post on here for fixing this and i'm stuck.
i just setup a stock apache2 server with wordpress. my default link for posts works however other options don't.
i've deleted .htaccess and let wordpress regen an not working. by the way i even chmod 666 777 660 nothing works.
The only thing in my .htaccess is two lines begin and end wordpress. i added override above all and still nothing.
I looked in apached2.conf but see no modules for loading overrides.
is this a server issue or wordpress permission or something. if I can narrow it to one side or the other.
also http.conf is empty if that helps.
I got it. had to chown www-data my /var/www

Did you enable mod_rewrite in http.conf?

I have a magento site which has index.php appended to the url you click on. I googled a lot to find the solution and i did what i could find.To clear my my doubts i uploaded htaccess file fresh copy from magento copy and made the url rewrite in configuation>system>web to yes and clear the cache too but still it put index.php in url.I have also double checked secure and unsecure link to see if it contain any index.php which it doesn't
I can do all what i can to do research and applied it but no change. What can i do or what can be wrong?
The steps you describe should be right:
System > Configuration > Web > Use Web Server Rewrites set to yes (also check the store view level value, because the scope for this is not global)
.htaccess present in document root
clear Magento cache
Additional things to check:
System > Configuration > Web > (Un)secure base url
does your Apache take into consideration .htaccess (AllowOverride)
how did you clear the cache
the scope for your settings System > Configuration > Web > Use Web Server Rewrites

I need to configure mod_reqtimeout in my Apache server v2.2.22 (in a linux machine). Problem is, I have absolutely no clue on how to do it.
I checked the Apache site on this module at this link but there was no download/configuration details given.
Can someone help me on this ? Any help is much appreciated. Basically,
Is there something needed to download ?
If not, which files do I need to edit and how?
It's a standard Apache module from 2.2.15 and later, but is apparently missing in some distro versions (e.g. Ubuntu, FreeBSD).
First, check that mod_reqtimeout exists (e.g. look in apache2/modules/ or - depending on your system - do something like /usr/sbin/httpd -l | grep mod_reqtimeout). Second, if it is, make sure it's enabled in your Apache config.
mod_reqtimeout is available from GitHub (also see the RPM resource). Finally, this thread has some useful tips. BTW FYI I don't think it can be enabled in an .htaccess file.

Removal of the /var/www/icons alias from Apache config [closed]

I have a directory called /var/www/icons on my web server, which is also referenced as an alias in my Apache config as seen below:
Alias /icons/ "/var/www/icons/"
The directory contains a number of small PNGs and GIFs, which AFAIK are unused, along with a README file.
Am I safe to remove this alias from my Apache config by commenting it out? If not, what area of my application is the removal of this likely to effect?
There is very little documentation available on this directory and I must admit i've never came across it up until now.
Most icons are used for displaying file types in directory listings. If you do not use such listings, you can safely remove alias + files. I did so and do not miss them.
It is for sure safe to remove it. Other conf files could reference /icons (e. g. the autoindex module) but apart from some not found errors nothing nasty should happen.
My advice: scan the access.log files to see if urls rooted at /icons are accessed. Delete the alias and monitor the error.log file for 404 errors.

How do I change default directory and index file for Apache (installed via XAMPP) [closed]

How do I change default Directory and index File for Apache (installed via XAMPP) so instead of looking for htdocs and index, it looks for myPath and myFile, respectively?
The research link you pasted has the first part of the answer to your question, changing the path you want serve but the second part of your question, making it serve "myFile" as the Index is an additional step. See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex
So you would add this line inside the relevant tags or even loose in the main httpd.conf file (see the Context section of the above link for valid places to use this directive):
DirectoryIndex myFile.ext
Hope this helps.
Edit the httpd.conf file - the DocumentRoot directory can be updated to whichever directory you would like (and that the process has permissions to). See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#documentroot
DocumentRoot /usr/web

I have few sites, and they all have identical setup on a single server. Now, instead of the separate configuration file for each of them in sites-enabled directory, I want to have a common file.
Idea is this:
www.abc.com should have /var/www/abc as DocumentRoot,
www.xyz.com should have /var/www/xyz as DocumentRoot, etc.
All other parameteres like log files, contact emails etc should also have identical setup (abc.com should have contact#abc.com as admin email, xyz.com should have contact#xyz.com as admin email etc).
I couldnt find any tutorial on how to backreference wildcards, etc.
regards,
JP
Aha. Found the solution. VirtualDocumentRoot is the answer.
A single line like:
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%0
does the job. Havent really figured the logs stuff but should be similar and easy.
See https://serverfault.com/questions/182929/wildcard-subdomain-directory-names for a nice related thread.
You gotta enable vhost_alias module for this. (sudo a2enmod vhost_alias on ubuntu).
