I have a Linode server running Ubuntu 11 and Apache2 and I'm trying to get a subdomain working. This is my mywebsite file in sites-available folder. I've tried putting the top part in its own file testing.mywebsite and reloading apache2 with no luck.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/user2/www
ServerName testing.mywebsite.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin email#gmail.com
ServerName mywebsite.com
ServerAlias *.mywebsite.com
ServerAlias 192.155.90.135
#Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
DocumentRoot /home/user/public/mywebsite/www
#Log file locations
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /home/user/public/mywebsite/log/error.log
CustomLog /home/user/public/mywebsite/log/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I have a website up and running and apache can find all the files in /home/user/public/mywebsite/www but when I go to the testing subdomain, my browser can't find it. I'm pretty unfamiliar with apache2, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Are your DNS records configured to point your computer at the desired hostname to your server's IP address when it resolves? Or, are you overriding with editing /etc/hosts?
I am somewhat unsure what "my browser can't find it" means, so please clarify if the above questions don't get you closer to your problem. It would be worth checking your log files for Apache in your specified paths and /var/log/apache2/.

I have a server with an ip: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
In my server, i have several projects in the folder /var/www:
/var/www/project1
/var/www/project2/trunk/webroot
...
My 000-default.conf is like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Currently I access into them through the following url:
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/project1
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/project2/trunk/webroot
...
I have a domain that targets to my server
domain.com -> XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
My intention is to create a subdomain for each project, and each subdomain points to the target folder of the project:
project1.domain.com -> XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/project1
project2.domain.com -> XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/project2/trunk/webroot
(I think the best solution will be that XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/project2 targets directly to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/proyect2/trunk/webroot)
I have read that it will be great that each project has its own .conf file in apache, and enabling each site separately.
But I think that if I create a VirtualHost *:80 for each project (project1.conf, project2.conf) they will be in conflict and I dont know how to do it.
Can anybody help me?
Regards.
Virtual Host is the way to go... create one virtual host for each domain pointing to a folder on your server where to webpage is sotored.
Listen 80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/www/example1"
ServerName www.example.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/www/example2"
ServerName www.example.org
</VirtualHost>
Etc... One VirtualHost for each domain / DocumentRoot convination

##################### EDIT
I have tested it on my own server
Whithout touching the default.conf file I have created two new config files
root#raspberrypi:/etc/apache2/sites-available# pwd
/etc/apache2/sites-available
root#raspberrypi:/etc/apache2/sites-available#
Please ignore the default files I have not touched them I have just created two new files named project1.... and project2....
root#raspberrypi:/etc/apache2/sites-available# ls
000-default.conf project1_domain_com.conf
default-ssl.conf project2_domain_com.conf
root#raspberrypi:/etc/apache2/sites-available#
root#raspberrypi:/etc/apache2/sites-available# cat project*
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/projects/project1/"
ServerName project1.domain.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/projects/project2/"
ServerName project2.domain.com
</VirtualHost>
root#raspberrypi:/etc/apache2/sites-available#
ENABLING SITES
root#raspberrypi:/etc/apache2/sites-available# a2ensite project1_domain_com.conf
Enabling site project1_domain_com.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
service apache2 reload
root#raspberrypi:/etc/apache2/sites-available# a2ensite project2_domain_com.conf
Enabling site project2_domain_com.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
service apache2 reload
root#raspberrypi:/etc/apache2/sites-available#
RELOAD APACHE
root#raspberrypi:/etc/apache2/sites-available# /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
[ ok ] Reloading apache2 configuration (via systemctl): apache2.service.

################# SUBDOMAIN EDIT
For example I have a single server with an IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX that have multiple domains registered (15 domains now).
I have one virtual host entry for each domain that works this way:
domain1.example.com -> Load the domain1 web index.html page (without /nothing/else )
domain2.example.com -> Load the domain2 web index.html page hosted on another folder expecified on the second virtual host.
And finally ussing a2ensite or a2dissite I enable or disable the website as a web hosting provider do...
If for any reason you need that accessing the host domain3.something.com it redirects to domain3.something.com/something/diferent ... it should be done on your server ussing .htaccess file and its a entirely diferent question :D
I currently have example.com pointing to Server one. I wanted to server example.com from a different directory ( /WebData )
I did this by editing httpd.conf
http://pastebin.com/UjHhRNTX
I this works as desired.
I then found out I needed to add website.org to the server. So I mounted another disk and created a dir called /WebDataWebsite
and created /etc/httpd/conf.d/websiteorg.conf with the following VHost:
http://pastebin.com/GTmqtABf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/WebDataWebsite"
ServerName website.org
ServerAlias www.website.org
<Directory "/WebDataWebsite">
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
For some reason all traffic to example.com and website.org were both directed to index.htm in /WebDataWebsite
What I am doing wrong? How to I make /WebData (in httpd.conf) the default website but filter by servername website.org with the VHost?
You'll probably need to use Alias's for the second site. Have a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#alias
It's unlikely that second declaration of the VH is being picked up by apache as it can not deal with two declarations of the same I believe.
I have 3 websites running on a cloud server, with the default Apache httpd.conf setting . I have uncommented the NameVirtualHost and configured the 3 websites from VirtualHost, after set up the DocumentRoot and ServerName for each, all worked perfectly but only the site within the default Directory is working for mod-rewrite, which I used for SEO URLs. The other 2 sites are located just one level above the /var/www/html, and are in the subfolder of /var/www/websites/site1, site2. I've tried to use RewriteBase in the .htaccess file to make this work but no success, and I have no idea where in the httpd.conf file I can make any changes to get things right. Please help, thanks.
If I understand you correctly you wish to have 3 separate websites running on 1 Apache server and then be able to have rewrites working on all of them.
You are on the right track using VirtualHosts. You need to stick to using a separate VirtualHost for each website you intend to host.
Given a folder structure as follows
/var/www/
- /websites
-- /site1
-- /site2
-- /site3
You can then setup 3 VirtualHosts for each of your 3 sites:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain1.tld
DocumentRoot /var/www/websites/site1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain2.tld
DocumentRoot /var/www/websites/site2
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain2.tld
DocumentRoot /var/www/websites/site3
</VirtualHost>
Hope this helps.
I have installed Apache 2.4.9 on my linux machine. I am trying to set up a local website for a school project and I have added the following to httpd.conf:
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "/home/jared/classes/cs275-spring/final_project"
I have verified that the Directory supplied to DocumentRoot is valid. Under this directory, there is a file called hello.html. When I try to access the file by going to localhost/hello.html, I am greeted with a 404 page. However, just going to "localhost" seems to work fine. Any ideas as to what's wrong here?
Try the following config after restarting your HTTPD server:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /home/jared/classes/cs275-spring/final_project
</VirtualHost>
I'm having issues redirecting my http://domain.co.uk to http://www.domain.co.uk . I'm pretty new to working with apache and linux so this is what i have done so far. Hopefully there is an obvious mistake that can be fixed easily.
In my attempt to get the redirect working I found a few tutorials saying that i should do it via the virtualhost file so i edited the existing virtual host file that i initially set up for the site in
/etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.co.uk
I have added a new block to the top of this file so it now looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.co.uk
Redirect permanent / http://www.domain.co.uk/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
# Admin email, Server Name (domain name), and any aliases
ServerAdmin admin#domain.co.uk
ServerName www.domain.co.uk
ServerAlias domain.co.uk
# Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
DocumentRoot /home/simon/public/domain.co.uk/public/
# Log file locations
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /home/simon/public/domain.co.uk/log/error.log
CustomLog /home/simon/public/domain.co.uk/log/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
After editing this file I restarted Apache and tried out the site but http://domain.co.uk is giving me "failed to open the page - cannot reach the server". http://www.domain.co.uk is still working fine.
Is this the right place for this <virtualhost> block? I have seen some mention of putting virtual host info in the httpd.conf file but I haven't been able to find this file in my installation of apache.
Any help would be great.
try this one and restart Apache
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.co.uk
ServerAlias *.domain.co.uk
RedirectMatch permanent /(.*) http://www.domain.co.uk/$1
</VirtualHost>
