thanks for the replies, turns out it was a very sublte and sneaky problem. i had the path stmt incorrect for the error log directive should have been C:/apache2/logs/......, instead of C:/apache2/log/...... and that made the difference. it was strange because usually apache complains about a bad path statement in the startup, and the httpd -S and -f didn't seem to indicate any problems. bbxrider Boyle Owen wrote: > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: bbxrider [mailto:bbxrider@xxxxxxxxxxxx] >> Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2007 9:05 AM >> To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> Subject: can't get virtual host working >> >> >> i am running apache 2.2.4 on winxp pro, the apache machine is >> on my lan >> behind a router and nothing else >> please see my directives for my .conf file below, at least >> the ones that >> seem to pertain to virtual host. >> when a browser is addressed to either domain, the default >> page from htdocs >> is returned, not the domain page, try it! >> you will see my dir structure in the virtual host directives. >> also below is the output from httpd -S which looks ok to me, >> ok to a first >> apache install newbie >> i've tried many variations on the ip addr instead of *, like >> the local lan >> addr, 127.0.0.1, etc >> any ideas to try from here?? > > Go to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html and read > the box titled "Main host goes away"... > > Basically, you need to wrap your "default" host in a VH container. > > Rgds, > Owen Boyle > Disclaimer: Any disclaimer attached to this message may be ignored. >> >> VirtualHost configuration: >> wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers: >> *:80 is a NameVirtualHost >> default server www.mywarmbeach.com (C:/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:228) >> port 80 namevhost www.mywarmbeach.com (C:/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:228) >> port 80 namevhost www.job1data.com (C:/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:237) >> Syntax OK >> >> ServerRoot "C:/apache2" >> Listen 80 >> DocumentRoot "C:/apache2/htdocs" >> <Directory "C:/apache2/htdocs"> >> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks >> AllowOverride None >> Order allow,deny >> Allow from all >> </Directory> >> NameVirtualHost *:80 >> <VirtualHost *:80> >> ServerAdmin bbxrider@xxxxxxxxxxxx >> DocumentRoot C:/apache2/htdocs/mywarmbeach >> DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm >> ServerName www.mywarmbeach.com >> ServerAlias mywarmbeach.com *.mywarmbeach.com >> ErrorLog C:/apache2/log/www.mywarmbeach-error_log >> # CustomLog C:/apache2/log/www.mywarmbeach-access_log >> </VirtualHost> >> <VirtualHost *:80> >> ServerAdmin bbxrider@xxxxxxxxxxxx >> DocumentRoot C:/apache2/htdocs/job1data >> DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm >> ServerName www.job1data.com >> ServerAlias job1data.com *.job1data.com >> ErrorLog C:/apache2/log/www.job1data-error_log >> # CustomLog C:/apache2/log/www.mywarmbeach-access_log >> </VirtualHost> >> >> >> -- >> View this message in context: >> http://www.nabble.com/can%27t-get-virtual-host-working-tf34068 > 65.html#a9490024 >> Sent from the Apache HTTP Server - Users mailing list archive >> at Nabble.com. >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP >> Server Project. >> See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> " from the digest: users-digest-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> > > > This message is for the named person's use only.
