Hello, I've got a question on virtual hosts. I'm running httpd 2.2.3 on a rhel5 machine. I believe from what I've read that when one sets up a virtual host that the Listen and other directives in httpd.conf are no longer valid.
Listen may only be used in the server context. It is invalid in a virtualhost context.
FIrst of all, did I get that right? I've got a Listen line in httpd.conf telling apache to listen to a single address,
Listen tells apache what PORT to listen on, first of all.If your distro did not pre-set this (they did), set it to Listen 80 for normal HTTP. You may repeat it as often as required, for SSL (443), or per-IP (127.0.0.1:80) or any combination thereof.
I've also got a <Directory /> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Options none AllowOverRide none </Directory> in that file as well as a block pointing to apache's document root area. In my virtual host configuration file I've got the virtual host set up with a different document root area, my question is is the <Directory /> block from the httpd.conf file still propagated to the virtual host configuration file or do I have to define that<Directory /> block in the virtual hosts as well? I hope that made sense.
No, do not repeat Directory /. Yes, all settings that can be inherited, are inherited.
Thanks. Dave.
