Changing Bugzilla url - apache

I have installed Bugzilla with Apache on a Windows machine. The Bugzilla web application is set to http://localhost but i have to move it to http://localhost/bugzilla . I think that the Apache server must have a configuration file somewhere but i have little experience with it. Anyone had this problem?

You don't necessarily need to reconfigure Apache, but here's how you would do it:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/platform/windows.html
What you do need to change is the urlbase parameter that tells Bugzilla how to form links to other pages. Yours is probably set to http://localhost/ at present; you probably want it to be http://localhost/bugzilla/.
See http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.0/en/html/parameters.html for what you can configure.
If you can't get Bugzilla to load at all, look for a file name params.pl and change the value of urlbase manually. You noramally s

Apache Security settings - unsure of where to find in Config file

This is my first post under the Apache tag, so not sure if I have posted it in the correct spot. Apologies if it's not.
We recently had an audit done on our Apache server. It's running on a Windows Server 2012 R2, and I installed Apache 2.4.27 through WAMP.
The results from the Audit are fairly specific, but I don't know where to go in the Config file to fix these. My IMIT department has gone through a number of changes and we no longer have someone who can help me, so I'm stuck.
The three areas I need to correct are:
1) MISSING SECURITY HEADERS Recommendation: Implement HTTP security headers in the web applications to prevent exploitation of vulnerabilities.
2) Recommendation: Make sure that browsable directories do not leak confidential informative or give access to sensitive resources. Additionally, use access restrictions or disable directory indexing for any that do.
3) The remote web server supports the TRACE and/or TRACK methods. TRACE and TRACK are HTTP methods that are used to debug web server connections. Recommendation: Disable these methods.
I have looked in the config and in various documentation online but the Windows install for Apache seems to be unique, and I don't want to risk screwing up something that breaks the install.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Find httpd.conf file. It should be in the conf folder in the localization where Apache is installed like for ex:
C:/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf
If you're not sure where that is - open task manager, find httpd.exe and check it's properties.
Then add required configuration there.
Check out this helpful github:

You can check your configuration files for syntax errors without starting the server by using apachectl configtest or the -t command line option.

Bitnami Trac apache set domain name

I recently installed Bitnami trac and now I want to access it using my domain name.
I've made the necessary changes to the apache config file (httpd.conf) found in C:\Bitnami\trac-1.0.5-0\apache2\conf\ directory. I've installed trac in port 8080.
So this is the only change I made.
ServerName trac.mydomain.com:8080
I had trac in another server before, and that time also this was the only change I made to get my domain work with it. But this time it doesn't work.
Can somebody please tell me where I've missed? Do I have to update any other place?
According to your comment, you can access the server fine by using the IP address, but can't access it at all when using the domain name. This sounds like it might not be related to Trac at all. Here are a couple of things to try:
Run "nslookup your-domain-name.com". You should get a result that says "Addresses:" and lists your server's IP address. If you don't (or if you get a "Non-existent domain" error), then your DNS server isn't mapping your domain name to your IP address correctly.
Look through Apache's various log files on your server and see if there is any evidence of your request ever reaching your server. Whenever I do this, I first change LogLevel to debug in the Apache config files so that I get as much output as possible (restart Apache after changing the config file). If a 'debug'-level log doesn't even show that Apache saw the request, then something between your server and your local system is causing problems (a firewall perhaps). If the Apache logs do show that the request made it through, then the problem is likely an Apache configuration problem and the log output should provide hints as to how to continue.
Try connecting via VPN and then accessing your server by domain name (not IP address). If you can access the server by IP but not by name, then the server may not know its own domain name.
Bitnami developer here. By default bitnami installations accept petitions from any IP so you don't have to set the ServerName.
Although, if you want your page to be accessible using trac.yourdomain.com, you should consider using apache virtualHosts, could you try to follow this documentation page?

Trying to Properly configure the mod alias in Apache

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.

Where to find localhost files with Apache?

I recently installed Apache and enabled "localhost" with Windows. When I type "localhost" in my browser, it brings me to a page explaining that the Apache installation was successful. I just don't know where to find this. Is it reading some index.html file? If so, I just can't find it.
I tried going to C:\inetpub\wwwroot but the "localhost" in the browser is not reading it from this location. Where else is it reading localhost from? I use Windows 7.
This is usually found in \apache\htdocs on a Windows default install. The 'Pre-Installation' steps covered in this Apache, PHP and MySQL setup guide might be helpful.
If you use a default install of WampServer, it will be in C:\wamp\www

Moving Wordpress from Apache to IIS

I've encountered a problem when moving a Wordpress installation from a Linux Apache server to a Windows IIS server. Nearly all pages load blank, including /wp-admin/. I created a php file in the main directory to check phpinfo, and it loads fine.
I've copied the file system over, as well as the database. I've also updated the wp-config.php with the correct credentials.
I think it has something to do with .htaccess, but I'm not sure how to correct it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
.htaccess is not used on Windows IIS servers.

Sounds like you have a permalink problem, compounded by the fact that permalinks operate differently on IIS than Linux. See: Using Permalinks « WordPress Codex
Try resetting permalinks to default in Dashbord/Settings/Permalinks, if you can get into Admin. If not, you need to go into the database with phpmyadminand manually clear the permalink field in wp_options, usually around option 34.
Update: And, did you change domains? Or just hosting? See this, too: Moving WordPress « WordPress Codex
