I've got Apache working properly, virtual hosts work as expected.
My operating system is Windows 7.
However, I've got one problem, which I'm trying to find the answer to, and Google didn't yield much - for Windows anyway, only for Linux (which is not really applicable in this case).
How do I add new virtualhosts without restarting the server constantly?
(Apache version 2.2 is what I'm currently running)
I add new hosts to the host file and files in vhosts, like so:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName host1.tld
ServerAlias www.host1.tld
DocumentRoot /www/vhosts/host1.tld
ErrorLog /www/Apache22/logs/error.log
<Directory "/www/vhosts/host1.tld">
Options All
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mywebsite.com
ServerAlias www.mywebsite.com
DocumentRoot /www/vhosts/mywebsite.com
ErrorLog /www/Apache22/logs/error.log
<Directory "/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com">
Options All
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Has anyone been in a similar solution, and if so, what's your advice?
You may be able to configure all vhosts with a single block, using VirtualDocumentRoot
<VirtualHost *:80>
UseCanonicalName Off
VirtualDocumentRoot /www/vhosts/%0
ErrorLog /www/Apache22/logs/error.log
<Directory "/www/vhosts">
Options All
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
You can restart apache without restarting the server. I have an apple script on my mac that restarts apache for me so that with one click and a quater of a second the new apache configuration can be loaded. Here is the apple script which can easily be ported to Python(for your Windows use):
set stopString to do shell script "sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl stop" with administrator privileges and password
set startString to do shell script "sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start" with administrator privileges and password
if startString as string = "" then
"Apache started correctly"
else
stopString & " , " & startString
end if

I am trying to set up some vhosts on a Virtual Box with Ubuntu 16.04 Apache2 PHP 7.0 to start moving the code to PHP7.
I have moved the v-host file from the older VBox which looked like this
<VirtualHost 192.168.2.174:80>
ServerName admin.ubuntu16.de
ServerAlias admin.ubuntu16.de
ServerAdmin email#company.de
DocumentRoot /home/www/public_html/workspace/admin
php_value auto_prepend_file '/home/www/public_html/workspace/admin/administration/conf/register_globals.php'
<Directory /home/www/public_html/workspace/admin>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
Options All
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
But it kept on trying to load the page with https or saying that there is no access to site root folder
These settings work perfectly on Ubuntu 14 Virtuall Box with apache2 and PHP 5.5.something
So I followed the tutorial and changed it to simply
<VirtualHost 192.168.2.174:80>
ServerName admin.ubuntu16.de
ServerAlias admin.ubuntu16.de
ServerAdmin email#company.de
DocumentRoot /home/www/public_html/workspace/admin
</VirtualHost>
But now it just jumps straight to https mode
I obviously ran a2ensite
I also switched off the default site by running "a2dissite 000-default.conf"
I also enable modules to do with proxying and a bunch of others while getting appache to actuallly start :-)
Any ideas on things I might off missed are greatly appreciated.
Just a little edit:
All the files for the sites are situated on the main Windows machine and are imported through /media/sf-workspace
The symbolic link is then created as /home/www/public_html/workspace
I would first eliminate the symbolic links and just make a copy of all the files inside the virtual box to remove that variable.
Apache can be screwy with symlinks.
I'm having a lot of trouble setting up a local website that I need to do some work on.
I have 2 local sites: "first_training" and "resus_skills"
The former, first_training, works. I have it set up that first_training.loc/ takes me to the local site. resus_skills is set up in the exact same way, but when I try to access resus_skills.loc/ all I get is:
Here are the details of my setup, as well as some screenshots of it:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/resus_skills.conf :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName resus_skills.loc
ServerAlias www.resus_skills.loc
DocumentRoot "/var/www/resus_skills"
<Directory "/var/www/resus_skills">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I made sure to enable it with sudo a2ensite resus_skills.conf and have confirmed that it's symlink is present in ``/etc/apache2/sites-enabled`
I've made sure my apache server is running:
and I've run apachectl -S to get this result:
I am able to reach first_training.loc/ with no issues, but cannot reach resus_skills.loc/.
I'm unsure how to troubleshoot this - the apache error.log isn't showing me anything.
Before anyone points out what an idiot I've been - I never updated the /etc/hosts file, which was the only missing step.
I have a CentOS 7 WSGI enables Apache Httpd server (on a VirtualBox machine) and it serves my developing Flask site at http://www.myflask.com on port 80.
Since I can't debug there (even if I tried everything I could), like I can on a local version set in a virutalenv at http://127.0.0.1:5000, I was trying to do this:
setting up a virtualenv (with flask installed) on the VB server, called myflaskv (/var/www/myflaskv)
putting myflask dir into myflaskv (/var/www/myflaskv/myflask)
I did end with the following httpd.conf virtual host section:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/myflaskv/myflask"
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/myflaskv/myflask">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/myflaskv/myflask/index.wsgi
ServerName www.myflask.com:80
</VirtualHost>
I can load the page http://www.myflask.com (even with virtualenv activated) but I can't load the page http://www.myflask.com:5000 as I would suppose to debug.
So I tried to add a virtualhost on port 5000:
<VirtualHost *:5000>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/myflaskv/myflask"
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/myflaskv/myflask">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/myflaskv/myflask/index.wsgi
ServerName www.myflaskv.com:5000
</VirtualHost>
supposing that this way I could load http://www.myfaskv.com, and instead I can't (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED).
By the way I temporarly disactivated ip-tables and se-linux.
So is there a way to load from browser the 127.0.0.1:5000 ip address of a remote host?
Or there is a better way to debug flask in an wsgi apache dev environment?
If you want to access the url from outside the box, you will have to run the server at 0.0.0.0:5000.
The url http://127.0.0.1:5000 cannot be accessed from outside the box you are running it in.
When you use wsgi to access your app, the error messages and stack traces are written to the web server error log, by default at /var/log/apache2/error.log. You don't need to use the virtualenv web server. Just write any debug output you need to a local log file (if you have debugging input you want to print) and look for the stack traces in the apache error log.
Hi I'm trying to install ZF 1.12 with XAMPP .I read everything and did everything exactly as it was written,also configured the "httpd.conf" file like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/xampp/htdocs/<Your project folder>/public"
ServerName <Your project folder>
ServerAlias www.<Your project folder>
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory "/xampp/htdocs/new/public">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
but now when i try to start the server i get the following message:
500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was >unable to complete your request.
Is there anything else that needs to be done
Your Virtual Host definition is incomplete i.e no closing tag ( this may just have been missed when you copy/pasted.
Lets assume you have created and installed the Framework into /xampp/htdocs/project1/public
Lets also assume you want to run this site from a development domain called project1.dev i.e this is what you want to enter into the browser address bar.
Lets also assume you are using Apache 2.4.x and therefore need to use the Apache 2.4 syntax for access.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/project1/public"
ServerName project1.dev
ServerAlias www.project1.dev
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/new/public">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
</VirtualHost>
Now you need to edit the C:\windows\system32\srivers\etc\hosts and add these 2 lines.
127.0.0.1 project1.dev
::1 project1.dev
Now run this from a command windows launched using "Run as Administrator"
net stop dbscache
net start dnscache
And then restart Apache. Alternatively, just reboot.
I am trying to make a setup so that I can access my website on a virtual host in computer A from computer B. Both A and B are on the same network.
I am using xampp on Win 7.
So here is as the problem goes computer A(server) has a virtual host configuration as follows in the httpd-vhosts.conf file.
NameVirtualHost project:81
<VirtualHost project:81>
DocumentRoot "D:/work/website"
ServerName project:81
<Directory "D:/work/website">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
(using port 81 as port 80 has IIS running, dont know much about these things however)
this configuration works fine on the local machine(server). i.e project:81 in the address bar of the browser opens up the website as it should.
Now on computer B(client) I changed the hosts file to contain the IP of the server along with the name of the virtual host like:-
192.168.1.7 project
now when I enter project:81 on the client browser .. it takes me to the server but its not taking me to the virtual host directory, instead it takes to the default directory .. i.e in my case is
C:\xampp\htdocs
Now I am stuck and unable to make the client to point to the current destination.
So can anybody suggest what I am doing wrong here or something else I need to do in order to have access to the correct virtual host site from the client machine.
Thanks in advance for any help
Ok So Seto El Kahfi's reply to my very old question led me to do some more research and reading on Apache's website.
So what I got is this, my NameVirtualHost directive was improper.
So Instead of this,
NameVirtualHost project:81
<VirtualHost project:81>
DocumentRoot "D:/work/website"
ServerName project:81
<Directory "D:/work/website">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
What I had to do was this.
NameVirtualHost *:81
<VirtualHost *:81>
DocumentRoot "D:/work/website"
ServerName project
<Directory "D:/work/website">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Notice the ' * ' , I could have used an IP Address there too.(In this case my server's(machine A) local IP) both work. Now all I had to do is enter "project:81" on the client machine, and I get what my eyes wished to see.. :)
Few things I got from this.
1) How to use NameVirtualHost(or what it's purpose basically is.). Read More here
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost
This one is also good http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/07/apache-virtual-host/
2)You can use this via command line:
httpd -D DUMP_VHOSTS
to know how your virtual hosts are setup(will also give you some warnings regarding precedence if something's wrong with your setup)
3)Other's gesture to help you makes you help yourself.. :) So keeping helping and rocking.
Have you try to include the port at your client host's file?
