Re: Apache says "It works" but also "Requested URL could not be found" (Apache Users)

Hi Roparzh,

2016-11-18 15:13 GMT+01:00 Roparzh Hemon <roparzhhemon@xxxxxxxxx>:

Apache says "It works" but also "Requested URL could not be found"

This problem seems to have jumped out of nowhere when I returned
from other projects. The project worked fine before.
A random Google search suggests the problem might come from permissions,
but file permissions seem OK (see below).

The access and log files are blank.
Any help appreciated.

The details :

Apache says "It works" when I type http://www.lacolhost.com

this is probably because you are getting the output of the default virtual host (side note: in your definition below there is "localshow.com" not "localhost.com")

Apache says "The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server" when
I type http://www.lacolhost.com/index.php

Have you tried with localshow.com? Is it a transcript error?

My /private/etc/hosts file contains the line

127.0.0.1 localshow.com www.localshow.com

Please check that this domain resolves to localhost with dig or similar.

If it doesn't work, you can easily simulate it your browser on a shell with:

curl http://localhost/index.php --header "Host: localshow.com"

My /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf file contains the
following paragraph :

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localshow.com
ServerAlias www.localshow.com
DocumentRoot "/Users/myusernamehere/Documents/Sites/Show"
ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/localshow.com-error_log"
CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/localshow.com-access_log" common
ServerAdmin web@coolestguidesontheplanet.com
LoadModule php5_module /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
<Directory /Users/myusernamehere/Documents/Sites/Show>
Require all granted
DirectoryIndex index.php
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Permissions for /Users/myusernamehere/Documents/Sites/Show

drwxr-xr-x 18 myusernamehere staff 612 11 nov 15:07

Permissions for /Users/myusernamehere/Documents/Sites/Show/index.php :

-rw-r--r--@ 1 myusernamehere staff 23 18 nov 14:25 index.php

Hope that helps!
