Need help setting up my domain name with apache2
|

| joe10001@hotmail.com 2006-07-29, 1:26 am |
| Hi all,
I'm running apache2 on a debian server. I want to set up my domain name
with the right file in the folder /var/www
My server tree look something like this:
[www]
phpmyadmin -> link
SomeFolder/MyWebSite
At this time, when I type www.mydomainname.com, the default page of
apache2 comes up.
If i want my website to appear I must type
www.mydomainname.com/SomeFolder/MyWebSite in the address bar.
But the idea is that my website appears directly when I enter
www.mydomainname.com. I need to make a link with SomeFolder/MyWebSite
I know that the configuration is with httpd.conf but i'm not sure where
i must make the link. Also, if I make a link so www.mydomainname.com
shows my web site, does that mean that I wouldnt be able to reach
phpmyadmin anymore by typing www.mydomainname.com/phpmyadmin.

Modify the line
DocumentRoot "/var/www"
To point to the relevant directory, and reload apache.

I believe that I'm along the same lines as first person...
I'm still trying to figure out how to host multiple domains on Apache.
Example:
Site 1: www.mydomainname1.com
Site 2: www.mydomainname2.com
Site 3: www.mydomainname3.com
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it just doesn't work...

It is called Virtual Hosts. Try checking out apache.org for it

Virtual hosts. It works great, I use it on my home linux machine, fed via
ASDL. Got 3 domains on it and they all work quite well. Here is some info
on how to set it up...
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/
or here is a google search link that will get you going in the right
direction...
http://tinyurl.com/mx9b3
Create the directories where ever you want, setup the virtual hosts in
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (I put mine right at the bottom, restart
apache, and you are there, dude.
I think that there is a commented out sample virtual host section at the
bottom of your httpd.conf file that you can uncomment and then copy and
paste more sections as you need them, configuring each one accordingly.
Yeah, here, I did not even uncomment and use the sample, I just left it
and made my own right under it. Works like a charm!
### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most
configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry
about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives
below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
#NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# NOTE: NameVirtualHost cannot be used without a port specifier
# (e.g. :80) if mod_ssl is being used, due to the nature of the
# SSL protocol.
#
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *:80>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
# ServerName dummy-host.example.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

It took me a bit to figure it out, but I got it to work.
It was the 'documentroot' statements that were keeping it from working
properly.
Once I set the document root to the actual home directory, everything
started working as advertised. I currently host 2 sites with a third
on the way in the next day or two.
The other thing I noticed is that I have to create actual directory
structure with names of:
www.somsite.com
subdomain.somesite.com
Otherwise, when someone enters the domain name URL, they still get the
IP Address URL: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/~userdir/index.html instead of
http://subdomain.somesite.com
Still trying to fix that part of it, as I would rather people see the
domain name URL of subdomain.somesite.com.

I figured it out.  My site software that I was using needed URL
corrections.

| hey all,
I finally got it work but I have another problem ! 
For example when I type my domaine name www.somesite.com I reach the
page I'm suppose to. But once, I'm clicking on any link on this page,
it still work, but instead of seeing www.somesite.com/Page in the
address bar, I see something like this 192.168.1.15/bla/bla/Page (where
bla/bla are the folders from /var/www)
I made some test from a computer outside and the comp tried to reach
192.168.1.15 (private address). And the weirdest is that the page had
load ! I don't understand since 192.168.1.15 is a local address. It
loaded very slowly and not the way it was suppose to
ty for helping, any comment would be very appreciated
