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.

I have a DigitalOcean droplet (i.e. a VPS server), with Ubuntu 14.04 and Apache 2.2.
I had 4 virtualhosts configured, with 4 different domains pointing to 4 different folders, no problem.
I needed to point a 5th domain (let's call it www.someshop.tld) containing a PrestaShop installation.
I added the following Alias to the apache2/sites-available/domain1.conf file so that www.domain1.tld/someshop would lead to www/prestashop, and it worked fine
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain1.tld
DocumentRoot /www/directory1
Alias /someshop /www/prestashop #Alias line
</VirtualHost>
I did this as a temporary measure so I could have a working site publicly accessible, (so I could access www/prestashop publicly before I had configured www.someshop.tld DNS settings, 'A' record, Nameservers, etc.).
I now don't need to do this any more, so I deleted the Alias line from the .conf file so it looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain1.tld
DocumentRoot /www/directory1
</VirtualHost>
and added a new someshop.conf that looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.someshop.tld
DocumentRoot /www/prestashop
</VirtualHost>
I then re-enabled both the .conf files in apache2/sites-enabled, and restarted apache with service apache2 restart.
However, when I go to www.someshop.tld, it continues to do a URL redirect to www.domain1.tld/prestashop (where there's this message: "Not Found, The requested URL /someshop was not found on this server").
I waited for a couple of hours before posting this question because I thought it might just be a "propagation" issue. So far it's still doing this.
My question: is this something that should clear up by waiting for it, or do I need to fix something else? E.g., is there some way for me to flush the old virtualhost Alias information?
Have you tried removing the site from apache config?
$ sudo a2dissite test.com.conf #Remove symlink
$ sudo service apache2 reload
This would remove the symlink. You can then create the symlink again with the proper configurations that you like.
i want to change server name in apache. i know its easy as we can make changes in apache.cnf and httpd.cnf file. But i am tired after make changes in all file. i have checked all files and configuration but its not work only repdirect to another ip worked. So how can i change servername ??
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName xyz.com
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key.nopass
</VirtualHost>
Thanks for any help.
This can be achieved by installing Apache mod_security module.
After installation , open the Apache configuration file.
$ sudo vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf #Debian/Ubuntu
$ vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf #RHEL/CentOS/Fedora
Now change or add these lines below (make sure to change Tech_Web to any other thing you want to appear to clients).
ServerTokens Full
SecServerSignature “Tech_Web”
Finally restart the web server.
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.
im new to amazon web services.
I have installed an ec2 instance with lamp, everything seems to be OK.
I manage the server through ssh,
I've created the
/etc/apache2/sites-available/jak-udelat-cz.conf
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin info#jak-udelat.cz
ServerName www.jak-udelat.cz
ServerAlias jak-udelat.cz
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/jak-udelat.cz
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/jak-udelat.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/jak-udelat2.log combined
Then I restarted the apache..
But when I run
sudo a2ensite jak-udelat.cz
, i get
ERROR: Site jak-udelat.cz does not exist!
The domain www.jak-udelat.cz is going on the server right, php works, mysql works, everything seems to be ok, instead of this...
Could you please point me out where I'm making mistake?
Your conf file is named jak-udelat-cz.conf, so you should do:
sudo a2ensite jak-udelat-cz
OK :D so, I changed almost everything like without seeing any change, so I absolutely out of mind tried reboot, then once more restart apache and it finally helped! :)
I have a server with multiple websites hosted and distinguishable using name-based virtual hosting of apache.
How do I set it so that a specific website is hosted when the ip of my server is entered in the address bar?
What you want to use is the _default_ VirtualHost.
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot /www/default80
# ...
</VirtualHost>
It's described here. Basically if nothing else match the request the _default_ host will be used.
EDIT
This could also be written as:
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /www/default
# ...
</VirtualHost>
Is is important that this is the first VirtualHost in the configuration since Apache will start matching them from top to bottom, selecting the one that fit the best based on ServerName and ServerAlias.
This post might also be of interest:
Apache default VirtualHost
just find the Include sites-enabled/ line in your apache2.conf file and add the path to the conf file you want to be site default above it. from:
Include sites-enabled/
to
Include sites-enabled/mydefault.conf
Include sites-enabled/
When you first install apache2, there is a site configuration file named 000-default.conf. This is going to be the default because it is very likely to appear first in the list of files under /etc/apache2/sites-enabled.
To have your own file as the default, you can either replace the file under /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf with your own, or replace the link like so:
sudo rm /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
sudo ln -s ../sites-available/my-site-setup.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
Then restart apache2 (or just reload).
The _default_ as mentioned by the other answer is for defining a virtual host which can be found with the default IP address. It's not the default virtual host.
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
...
is equivalent to
<VirtualHost *:80>
...
The * is a globing pattern which matches any IP addresses.
Note:
Replacing the 000-default.conf file is okay, but in most cases the installation package is going to view that as a modified file and manage it in some weird way which is why I think it's cleaner to only change the soft link.
Keep it clean, don't delete or edit anything in /etc/apache2/sites-available/.
Create all new site configurations in /etc/apache2/sites-available/. Copy whatever site configuration you want enabled to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/. Only make sure /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ has only one configuration file.
Sample format for new apache site configurations in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName http://localhost
ServerAdmin admin#mysite.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mysiteroot/public
<Directory /var/www/html/mysiteroot>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Notice that 000-default.conf is by default in both directories mentioned above and should only be replaced by your new configuration in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ so that it can be restored anytime you need it.
Restart Apache2 service after you make any configuration changes.
