Moveable type images not displayed - apache

I installed Moveable type on a ubuntu box.
The admin section works great.
However the front page does not. The images and CSS are not displayed.
This is coming from the apache error log:
Permission denied: exec of '/var/www/mt/example/styles.css' failed
Premature end of script headers: styles.css
I think it's related to my apache config. Since i call the admin section using the localhost, but i use the example.com for the front page, which is the part that doesnt work.
This is my apache config:
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin chris#example.com
ServerName mt.example.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/mt
Alias /mt-static /var/www/mt/mt-static
<Directory /var/www/mt/mt-static>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias / /var/www/mt/
<Directory /var/www/mt>
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin chris#example.com
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias example.com www. example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example
Alias /mt-static /var/www/mt/mt-static
<Directory /var/www/mt/mt-static>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Redirect /mt.cgi http://mt.example.net/mt.cgi
</VirtualHost>

it because the directory where the css file is located (var/www/mt/example/) is a sub-directory of one which is declared to be a script in (/var/www/mt) with Options +ExecCGI
Directories inherit the options of their parents

It sounds like Apache has tried to run the .css file as an executable. The only thing which I can suggest is that you might have a css file which has an executable permission, for some reason, so Apache tries to execute it. Try
chmod a-x
on the CSS file and see if it makes a difference.
Sometimes files copied from Windows have executable set when they shouldn't.

500 Internal Server Error when trying to enable use of .htaccess in Apache on Ubuntu

I am trying to get my .htaccess working on my Ubuntu-apache2-webserver.
For that I opened /etc/apache2/apache2.conf,
I removed the comment sign (#) before AccessFileName .htaccess
and replaced AllowOverride None by AllowOverride All in
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
I activated mod_rewrite via a2enmod rewrite and restarted the server.
But each time I am performing those changes and open an html-file placed inside of /var/www/html, I get a 500 Internal Server Error for Virtual Host 80.
The same thing happened to me when placing
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
before </VirtualHost> into the 000-default.conf-file instead of the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing?
You're slightly off in your syntax for allowOverride. The Directory tag needs to be inside the VirtualHost tag. Like so:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
Options Includes
<Directory "/var/www/html">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Also, make sure Apache has permissions to read and write to the directory /var/www/html

configure apache to allow directory listing

Hi installed wordpress as localhost on my machine. I wanted to access it from another machine on my LAN. I can access the page. But non of the images or css is applying, Looking in firebug it's riddled with 404 errors to all the files it required. the path specifies the IP and not Localhost and exist in their locations.
I am trying to set apache to allow file browsing via the website I have set HTTPD.CONF and .htaccess but cant get file browsing the site is located at c:\xampp\apache\htdocs
heres what I have in httpd.conf
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
<Directory />
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
</Directory>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory "/wordpress">
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/wordpress/index.php"
ServerName wordpress
</VirtualHost>
in .htaccess
Options +Indexes
the error.log doesn't contain anything that stands out to me
You have to specify the option +Indexes in the corresponding Directory:
<Directory "C:/xampp/apache/htdocs">
Options +Indexes
</Directory>

Apache http.conf - Route Requests to URL Directory Using Alias

I have a web application that I would like to be accessed in the following format:
52.1.2.3/myapplication
I currently have a httpd.conf that looks like
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/myapp/public_html
ServerName 52.1.2.3
ServerAlias 52.1.2.3
Alias /myapplication /var/www/myapp/public_html
<Directory /var/www/myapp>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
When I got to the URL 52.1.2.3/myapplication, I want Apache to load the application stored in /var/www/myapp/public_html.
If I take out the Alias /myapplication /var/www/mya/pp/public_html configuration from the above, I can reach my web application by going to 52.1.2.3. But when I try to go to 52.1.2.3/myapp with the Alias option added in, I get a 403 Forbidden response.
How would you bind 52.1.2.3/myapplication to /var/www/myapp/public_html?
in my understanding you have to add the same path to the directory which you have used for the alias.
So,your path for alias /myapplication is /var/www/myapp/public_html.So put the same in below directory :
<Directory /var/www/myapp/public_html>
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Virtual host not displaying correct files

Centos 7.1 and apache 2.4 - We have installed a new drive in our server and want to move all of our sites to that drive (mounted as /data) and sites are located in /data/vhosts
When trying to access the site we are presented with the apache welcome screen. I can confirm that the vhost is loaded as trying changing the permissions of the dir above results in a forbidden access. There is also an index.php file located in /data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com/public_html
# IP has been changed for example:
<VirtualHost 91.91.91.91:80>
DocumentRoot "/data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com/public_html"
ServerName test.mydomain.com
<Directory /data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com>
Options All
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
UPDATE 1:
I have deleted the welcome.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ and I am not given a forbidden 403. It is important to note that this is a new drive and no permissions has been set on /data (or sub folders) for apache. I am not entirely sure if that makes a difference?
I have also made some slight alternations to the vhost conf file but no difference:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com/public_html"
ServerName test.mydomain.com
<Directory "/data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com">
AllowOverride None
# Allow open access:
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com/public_html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Two sites with Apache virtual hosts

I'm working on 2 different sites. I have local copies of them checked out from SVN at my home folder, and symbolic links in /var/www pointing to them.
I've set up virtual hosts in httpd.conf like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/siteA
ServerName 192.168.0.10/siteA
<Directory "/var/www/siteA">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/siteB
ServerName 192.168.0.10/siteB
<Directory "/var/www/siteB">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I would like to be able to access the sites with 192.168.0.10/siteA and /siteB, but when typing the address in browser, it throws a 404 and apache error log says: "File does not exist: /var/www/siteA/siteA".
What am I doing wrong and where does the second "/siteA" come from?
You've got too much configuration in there. /SiteA and /SiteB should be paths relative to your site root, you can't have different sites on the same host header, which in this case is "192.168.0.10". If you want to bind that address to the configuration, something along the lines of the following should work.
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.10:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www
ServerName 192.168.0.10
<Directory "/var/www">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
If you now browse to /SiteA, /SiteB you should see the contents of your directory as long as your symlinks are correct. You also need to ensure you have the "NameVirtualHost" directive set correctly in your httpd.conf.
