[users@httpd] Virtual Name Hosting trouble
Hello all, first post.
Running Apache2 on SuSE 8.1 Pro with all modules installed.
One site, runs fine, two or more sites on one IP address, all FDQN's, and the
garth.conf (httpd_include_files variable) is all proper and fine.
Howevever, NO sites at all will come up because the first site listed in the
garth.conf will set off "Syntax error in line blah blah blah .gif or .jpg or
even the html code when it's all perfect. That's as in a near blank html
page with or without even an image.
During start Apache2 will point out syntax errors in the .header files and
then the .common files and so on and so on.
Am I missing a module or do I need to specially configure a module?
Or, do I have modules installed that I do not need and shouldn't have?
I'm doing basic hosting, no ssl, no real extras, no cgi etc.

You're not giving up are you? You've got a whole list here willing to help.
:-) No, Apache never was the only one, and any server out of the box is
never the most secure, but I don't know of any that can be made as secure as
Apache, as easily as Apache, as flexible and powerful, etc.. The most
secure web server is the one you disconnect from the web, kill the program,
and remove the source and binaries from the computer. :-) And windows
users? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that most Apache users are
from predominantly Unix based backgrounds, or some hybrid knowledge of both
windows and unix, but most are power users at the least, and not mere
"windoze lusers".
Anyways, from what you have posted about your problem, it would appear that
you are using the Include directive improperly, or by accident, to include
html files. So, open up your httpd.conf in your favorite text editor (since
you dissed windows users, I'd guess it's vi or maybe emacs), and do some
text searches for the string "Include" (without the double-quotes), and see
if there's some line like "Include /srv/www/htdig/common/*".

Would you like your server to work, or would you like to continue griping
on the list and throwing up your hands like an exasperated 4 year old after
waiting only 2 hours for the list to respond? You've gotten some valuable
suggestions. Maybe you should read them.

The question is, why is nomatch.html getting processed as a config file
during startup. My guess is that /etc/apache2/httpd.conf is "Include"ing
it. That wouldn't be good. Include is to be used only for apache config
files.
So look through httpd.conf for any reference to nomatch.html and any
Include directives.

The problem is that Apache is trying to load nomatch as if it is a
config file. That's not right at all.
Could you post your httpd.conf here, or at least any include
statements from it?

If you're trying to load html files as config files, there will be
errors.

<polite snip>
'/etc/init.d/apache2 start returned 1 (Unspecified error.)
Starting httpd2 (worker) Syntax error on line 12 of
/srv/www/htdig/common/nomatch.html:
Expected
but saw
The command line was: /usr/sbin/httpd2-worker -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
..failed
And no matter what, it will continue to point out errors whether they are
there or NOT. Beast me.
Thanks so far and TIA

Can you report to us EXACTLY what the error message says and EXACTLY under
what circumstance you see it. (ie, "I type xyz at the command prompt and
then the following message appears on the console.")
