I am using this guide:
http://codingthis.com/platforms/linux/how-to-host-simple-content-with-amazon-elastic-cloud-computing-ec2/
I have a folder named public_html in my /home/ec2-user directory with a index.html file.
What I have done so far:
sudo yum -y install httpd php
sudo chkconfig httpd on
chmod 755 /home/ec2-user (I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS DOES)
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
(changed DocumentRoot to DocumentRoot /home/ec2-user/public_html)
Now when I go to my www.mywebsite.com it will hit my index.html file. I tried to put a pdf file in my public_html directory, I tried to go to www.mywebsite.com/pdffile.pdf and it says page not found. How do I host my pdf file on my ec2 instance?
EXTRA:
I have a security group enabled for my instance with rules:
ICMP Allow ALL
TCP Allow ALL
UDP Allow ALL
TCP port 80 (Http)

Suppose your machine's IP is myipaddress
Put the PDF file in /var/www and browse
http://myipaddress.com/file.pdf
Works for me.

On my debian/apache server at http://localhost I'm redirected to my api on port 3000 (this is ok)
Now I would like to open another port (8090), in http://localhost:8090 redirected to /var/www/html/
How to make?
Find the default virtual host conf file by running
ls /etc/apache2/sites-available/
There should be a file called deault.conf, or similar. We want to edit this file
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default.conf
Make sure that apache actually is listening to your port 8090 by adding, to the top of that document
Listen 8090
Change the rest of the conf file to match your site, so it may look something like this
Listen 8090
<VirtualHost *:8090>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
# Other directives here
</VirtualHost>
Save the file with a different name in the same folder. The files must end with ".conf". Add the virtual host to enabled sites by running
sudo a2ensite virtual_host_file_name.conf
replacing "virtual_host_file_name.conf" with the name of the file you select in the previous step.
Then restart the apache server
sudo service apache2 reload
It seems like you're only interested in accessing it from localhost, but if you want to access it remotely you might need to check your firewalls.
Right now it's '/var/www/html' but I want it to be '/home/pi/FTP'
I can probably just change it in the config file, but i can't manage to find it, thank you in advance.
You'll have to edit apache2.conf and 000-default.conf to change the document root of apache.
The Apache server is installed on var/www/html.This is the default root directory of apache.
Either change the root directory of Apache or move the project to /var/www/html.
To change Apache's root directory, run:
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
Then open the 000-default.conf file using the command:
nano 000-default.conf
Edit the DocumentRoot option:
DocumentRoot /path/to/my/project
Then restart the apache server:
sudo service apache2 restart
I get the "server not found" message in the browser when I try to access localhost/phpmyadmin/ and my websites configured in /etc/hosts and /etc/apache2/sites-enabled.
My "hosts" file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 website1
127.0.0.1 website2
...
How can I solve this problem?
Your phpmyadmin configuration might not be included by apache. Open apache.conf using your favorite editor
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Then add the following line:
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
Then restart your apache server:
sudo service apache restart
Hope this helps.
As mentioned here
A cleaner way is to create the new configuration file:
/etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf
and write the following in it:
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
then, soft link the file to the directory /etc/apache2/conf-enabled:
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf /etc/apache2/conf-enabled
I have a site that the root points to /var/www
I have set up two folders under /var/www
/var/www/old
/var/www/new
for the old folder, I have used the following to deny any access:
touch /var/www/old/.htaccess && echo deny from all >> /var/www/old/.htaccess
I now want the server to point the root to /var/www/new so that when people visit http://example.com the content in /var/www/new will serve, what should I do?
In Ubuntu the Apache configuration is located at /etc/apache2. There should be two folders, sites-available and sites-enabled. Inside sites-enabled are symlinks to config files in sites-available.
You simply have to change the document root in your activated configuration. Thats probably /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
Have a look for DocumentRoot and change it to /var/www/new, then reload your apache.
depends a LOT on how your apache server is configured.
I don't have an Ubuntu machine around, but what you're looking for is the DocumentRoot directive. On RedHat based machines it's normally in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf but if memory serves Debian based systems use apache instead of httpd.
If that doesn't work be sure to check in /etc/httpd/conf.d since the files there are loaded dynamically.
Hope this helps :)
I have multiple websites setup on my Apache2 server. The directory structure is as follows:
/var/www/
/var/www/site1.com
/var/www/site2.com
It is setup such that "www.site1.com" has root folder /var/www/site1, "www.site2.com" has root folder /var/www/site2, and http://server_ip_address has root folder /var/www
However, if I type http://server_ip_address/site1.com, it opens site1.com. I don't want this to happen. (That is, individual sites should be accessible only by typing the correct address).
What is the way to configure this. (Also it would be helpful if you could give tips on best practices for directory structures for multiple websites)?
thanks
JP
The VirtualHost directive can be used to set individual DocumentRoots for each site name.
Have also a look at this document:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html
Configure multiple websites on Ubuntu
Create apache configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/site1.com
Minimal configuration for the virtual host:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/site1.com
ServerName www.site1.com
# Other directives here
</VirtualHost>
Create the root folder:
sudo mkdir /var/www/site1.com
Change the permissions of the folder:
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/site1.com/
Create a new record in /etc/hosts
sudo nano /etc/hosts
Add the following line:
127.0.0.1 www.site1.com
Create a correct symlinks in sites-enabled:
sudo a2ensite site1.com
Restart the apache:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
You have to do the same with the site2.com, site3.com etc...
