I would like to run a rails app under a subdirectory on my Linux VPS, and having trawled the passenger documentation I am unsure as to how to set up the proper virtualhost config and symlinks for my machine.
I have a domain called www.domain.eu and a rails app located at /apps/webapp, and i would like the site to be hosted at www.domain.eu/webapp
Im am unsure of a few areas:
1.) Where should i enter the webapp VirtualHost config details? should it be in the apache2.conf file or should create a file in sites-available called webapp and put the config in there? There seems to be many conflicting examples.
2.) Learning from the previous question, how could I amend this apache2.conf file to serve up the rails app under the directory www.domain.eu/webapp (again read through lots of docs, but there seems to be many ways of doing this)
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.eu
# !!! Be sure to point DocumentRoot to 'public'!
DocumentRoot /apps/webapp/public
<Directory /apps/webapp/public>
# This relaxes Apache security settings.
AllowOverride all
# MultiViews must be turned off.
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
RailsBaseURI /webapp
<Directory /apps/webapp/public>
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
3.) I realise that a symlink needs to be created to point the directory root to the url. Having tried ln -s /apps/webapp/public ./test it comes back with a missing symlink error. What would be recommended here?
4.) Lastly, rails 3 config.action_controller.relative_url_root = "/webapp" appears to be deprecated, is there a new recommended convention to use?
my setup: Linux VPS server running Ubuntu 10.04, mysql 5, apache2, phusion passenger (latest), ruby 1.9.3 and rails 3.2.3.
If anyone needs more code just shout, thanks in advance!
So after much reading I managed to get this working.
For my purpose I added in the VirtualHost info for a sub URI site into the bottom my apache2.conf file, it may be httpd.conf for you, but you can enter these into /etc/apache2/sites-available if you wish to keep it all seperate.
At the top of this file I specify where the default "homepage" for the server is. I am running apache2 so my homepage is located at /var/www. Below this we set our rails Sub URI options, so firstly specify what URL you would like as your sub URI, then point the directory tag to the public folder of your rails app. MultiViews must be off hence the (-) so our apache2.conf file is complete.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory /var/www>
Allow from all
</Directory>
RailsBaseURI /webapp
<Directory /apps/webapp/public>
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Now all we have to do is create a symlink in our sites-enabled folder to point the /var/www/webapp to our /apps/webapp/public folder, which looks like this.
ln -s /apps/webapp/public /var/www/webapp
Now was we are creating a symlink, we don't have to insert any extra code into our rails routes or environment file. You can specify which environment you would like to use using RackENV production (aparently al rails 3 + apps are rack ? please comment if this is not the case)

How can I change the document root of the Apache server? I basically want localhost to come from /users/spencer/projects directory instead of /var/www.
I ended up figuring it out. Some suggested I change the httpd.conf file, but I ended up finding a file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and changed the root directory from /var/www to /home/myusername/projects_folder and that worked.
Please note, that this only applies for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and newer releases.
In my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, the document root was set to /var/www/html. It was configured in the following file:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
So just do a
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
and change the following line to what you want:
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
Also do a
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
and find this:
<Directory /var/www/html/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
And change /var/www/html to your preferred directory and save it.
After you saved your changes, just restart the Apache 2 web server and you'll be done :)
sudo service apache2 restart
If you prefer a graphical text editor, you can just replace the sudo nano with a gksu gedit.
You need to change the DocumentRoot setting in your httpd.conf file. Chances are it will be under something like /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf.
Use your favourite editor (I recommend Vim) and look for the DocumentRoot and change it to /users/spencer/projects. Also look a little further down for a setting that looks like this:
<Directory "/var/www">
You will also want to change what is in the quotes to your new directory. This gives Apache access to read from that directory when a user makes a request that call on it.
Now restart your Apache service (httpd -k restart) and you should be good to go.
Apache 2 site configuration files are now typically kept in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.).
I had to edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default. The lines are the same as mentioned by RDL.
This is for Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr):
In file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf it should be as below without the directory name:
<Directory /home/username>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
And in file /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf you should include the custom directory name, i.e., www:
DocumentRoot /home/username/www
If it is not as above, it will give you an error when loading the server:
Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server
The right way to change directory or run from multiple directories under different port for Apache 2 is as follows:
For Apache 2, the configuration files are located under /etc/apache2 and doesn’t use a single configuration file as in older versions but is split into smaller configuration files, with /etc/apache2/apache2.conf being the main configuration file. To serve files from a different directory we need a new virtualhost conf file. The virtualhost configuration files are located in /etc/apache2/sites-available (do not edit files within sites-enabled). The default Apache installation uses virtualhost conf file 000-default.conf.
Start by creating a new virtualhost file by copying the default virtualhost file used by the default installation of Apache (the one that runs at localhost on port 80). Change into directory /etc/apache2/sites-available and then make copy by sudo cp 000-default.conf example.com.conf, now edit the file by sudo gedit example.com.conf to:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin example#localhost
DocumentRoot /home/ubuntu/example.com
</VirtualHost>
I have deleted the nonimportant lines from the above file for brevity. Here DocumentRoot is the path to the directory from which the website files are to be served such as index.html.
Create the directory from which you want to serve the files, for example, mkdir example.com and change owner and default group of the directory, for example, if your logged in user name is ubuntu change permissions as sudo chown ubuntu:www-data example.com. This grants full access to the user ubuntu and allows read and execute access to the group www-data.
Now edit the Apache configuration file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf by issuing command sudo gedit apache2.conf and find the line <Directory /var/www/> and below the closing tag </Directory>, add the following below:
<Directory /home/ubuntu/example.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Now there are two commands to enable or disable the virtualhost configuration files, which are a2ensite and a2dissite respectively. Now since our example.com.conf file uses the same port(80) as used by the default configuration file(000-default.conf), we have to disable the default configuration file by issuing the command sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf and enable our virtualhost configuration file by sudo a2ensite example.com.conf
Now restart or reload the server with command sudo service apache2 restart. Now Apache serves files from directory example.com at localhost on default port of 80.
The a2ensite command basically creates a symbolic link to the configuration file under the site-enabled directory.
Do not edit files within sites-enabled (or *-enabled) directory, as pointed out in this answer.
To change the port and run from multiple directories on different ports:
Now if you need to run the directory on a different port, change the port number from 80 to 8080 by editing the virtualhost file as:
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerAdmin user#localhost
DocumentRoot /home/ubuntu/work
</VirtualHost>
and editing /etc/apache2/ports.conf and adding Listen 8080 just below the line Listen 80
Now we can enable the default virtualhost configuration file that runs on port 80 since example.com directory uses port 8080, as sudo a2ensite 000-default.conf.
Now restart or reload the server with command sudo service apache2 restart. Now both the directories can be accessed from localhost and localhost:8080.
If you couldn't find http.conf and followed Nick's way.
Restart Apache using sudo service apache2 restart.
I was working with LAMP and to change the document root folder, I have edited the default file which is there in the
/etc/apache2/sites-available folder.
If you want to do the same, just edit as follows:
DocumentRoot /home/username/new_root_folder
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /home/username/new_root_folder>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
After this, if you type "localhost" in the browser, it will load the /home/username/new_root_folder content.
For Apache 2 on Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64-bit, the following works:
In /etc/apache2/sites-available/ open the 000-default.conf file, and change the Document Root to the absolute path of your directory.
sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
In folder /etc/apache2/ open file httpd.conf, and add a <Directory> tag referencing your directory and containing the exact same settings as the tag for var/www.
sudo vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
On my machine it looked like this:
<Directory /home/my_user_name/php/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Note: In the first step you probably want to change Document Root in the default-ssl.conf file as well for SSL purposes. But as far as I can tell, this isn't required to get a general development environment running.
In Apache version 2.4.18 (Ubuntu).
Open the file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and
search for <Directory /var/www/> and replace to your directory.
Open file /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf, search for DocumentRoot /var/www/html and replace it with your DocumentRoot.
In case you are using Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus), please update the 000-default.conf file in the directory /etc/apache2/sites-available.
Here →
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/YourFolder
The following applies to Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) and later releases. Make sure to back up following files before making any changes.
Open /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and search for <Directory /var/www/> directive and replace path with /home/<USERNAME>/public_html. You can use * instead of .
Open /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf and change the DocumentRoot value property from /var/www/html to /home/<USERNAME>/public_html. Also <Directory /var/www/html> to <Directory /home/<USERNAME>/public_html.
Open /etc/mods-available/php7.1.conf. Find and comment the following code
php_admin_flag engine Off
Do not turn the php_admin_flag engine OFF flag on as the reason is mentioned in a comment above the Directive code. Also the PHP version can be 5.0, 7.0 or anything you have installed.
Create public_html directory in home/<USERNAME>.
Restart the Apache service by executing command sudo service apache2 restart.
Test by running a sample script on the server.
I had made the /var/www to be a soft link to the required directory (for example, /users/username/projects) and things were fine after that.
However, naturally, the original /var/www needs to be deleted - or renamed.
If someone has installed LAMP in the /opt folder, then the /etc/apache2 folder is not what you are looking for.
Look for httpd.conf file in folder /opt/lampp/etc.
Change the line in this folder and save it from the terminal.
If you're using Linux Mint (personal opinion, from all distributions this one is making me happy), follow this:
Go to folder /etc/apache2/sites-available and edit file 000-default.conf.
Search for DocumentRoot, example DocumentRoot /var/www/html. You change to your respective directory;
Open a terminal and type: sudo service apache2 restart
In Linux Mint, you go for file /etc/apache2/apache.conf. Replace /var/www with your respective path, and then restart the server (step 3).
That's it.
In Red Hat Linux 7.0: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
I want to disable the parsing of PHP files in a specific directory, and found out how to do that here. The problem is that my server uses PHP-FPM, and I get Invalid command 'php_flag', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration when I try to use php_flag in my httpd.conf file.
How can I disable parsing of PHP files in a given web-accessible directory with an htaccess/httpd.conf file that is located above web root on a server using PHP-FPM?
Since Fedora 27 switched to php-fpm recently, I, too, ran into this problem. Unfortunately, the old ways of doing things with mod_php do not apply to php-fpm.
I did find another question here that definitely seemed more relevant:
Apache: Disable php in a directory
The gist of it was was to use a <directory> and <filesmatch> block in your config file, and use SetHandler ! for every directory you didn't want PHP code interpreted.
e.g.:
<Directory "/path/to/no/phpfiles">
<Files "*.*">
SetHandler !
</Files>
</Directory>
This is tested and working on Fedora 27, PHP-FPM 7.1.12.
Unlike using the fpm configs directly, this technique works recursively, so placing it at the top level of a tree of stuff you don't want PHP interpreting works as expected.
I disable .htaccess files in my configurations, but this technique should still work. However, <directory> is not valid inside a .htaccess file. Hopefully just removing it, and leaving:
<Files "*.*">
SetHandler !
</Files>
Should be sufficient.
How can I disable parsing of PHP files in a given web-accessible
directory with an htaccess/httpd.conf file that is located above web
root on a server using PHP-FPM?
You can't persay the way you're trying it without mod_php (which you don't want) which is why you're getting that error. PHP-FPM is not an Apache module. It runs independent of Apache. That's actually it's purpose to be used on heavily loaded sites and it can control all the PHP processes.
One way you might be able to achieve this is to specify the exact path you want to run PHP, in your virtualhost file with the Directory directive. Instead of just having the PHP handler stuff, enclose it with the Directory directive with the actual path you want it to run. Here is an example.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#example.com
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/public_html/
ErrorLog /var/www/example.com/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/example.com/access.log combined
<Directory /path/to/php/only/folder/>
#then you PHP handler stuff
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-fastphp5 .php
Action application/x-httpd-fastphp5 /php5-fcgi
Alias /php5-fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi_example.com
FastCgiExternalServer /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi_example.com -socket /var/run/php5-fpm_example.com.sock -pass-header Authorization
</IfModule>
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Then restart Apache. This should limit it to that directory. You might have to remove the php handler info from the other config so it's not overwritten.
Note I have not tested this solution.
I have just created a new (test) symfony project and set my apache webroot to /home/user/project/ (not sure if it should be /home/user/project/web/?)
However, from what I understand based on the lightbulb section here: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/page_creation.html#the-web-directory - there isn't any internal rerouting occurring. Therefore, this does not work:
http://localhost/random/10
but these do work:
http://localhost/app_dev.php/random/10
http://localhost/app.php/random/10
To double check, if I start the internal PHP server (php app/console server:start) then everything gets rerouted correctly - this does work:
http://localhost:8000/random/10
Am I right in thinking that I need to make changes to .htaccess? If so, is there a 'standard' section of code for using apache with symfony?
EDIT:
I have updated my apache2.conf (which for others would be httpd.conf if not on ubuntu as I understand it) as below:
<Directory /home/user/Project/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
If I remember correctly, .htaccess alredy defines DirectoryIndex as app.php. However, your Apache config file httpd.conf might be blocking the override.
Make sure that you have that line in your .htaccess and also check the value of AllowOverride (docs) within your httpd.conf. Try setting AllowOverride to All and see if that works.

I am trying to change from windows to linux server. And for that i am trying to enable mod_write in ubuntu. I have taken all the necessary steps to enable the mod_rewrite as mod_rewrite is displayed under loaded modules. I have set all the permissions for the .htacess file. But for some reason the rewrite does not appear to be working in the linux server. It was working fine while i was using the same code in windows server.
Can anyone please help me in this issue. Your help will be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Check if you have the AllowOverride directive set to None. This is usually done in a file which sets your VirtualHosts
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80>
ServerName some.local.site
DocumentRoot /home/user/site
<Directory /home/user/site>
AllowOverride None <-- set this to All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
If setting AllowOverride to ALL didn't work, you might want to debug mod_rewrite like so:
add after RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "/var/log/httpd/mod_rw.log"
RewriteLogLevel 9
