Apache on NetWare 6 virtual host problems

[Cliff PETERSON <cp...@weber.edu>]

Skill with apache - basic dummy
apache 1.3.20a on Novell NetWare 6 server
installed by default when NW6 installed

Because I'm trying to keep the basic machine intact while I learn
Apache
and it is already using port 80 for other uses I tried creating a
virtual host on port 8080 for me to play with while learning.

When I try to access it with Netscape 6 I get the following returned
screen.
-------------------------------------------------------

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Apache/1.3.20a Server at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Port 8080
-------------------------------------------------------

The following entries were put into the adminserv.conf file which seems
to 
be used instead of the httpd.conf file

The directory directives I used were copied form other existing entries
and
changed to match my file structure.

Thanks in advance-- Cliff



Port 8080
Listen xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080


NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

<VirtualHost my-virtual-host:8080>

I don't know anything about NetWare, but is it case-sensitive? If it is,
your DocumentRoot "SYS:/CEET" doesn't match your Directory container
"sys:/CEET".

However, I suspect it is not case-sensitive. In which case we must look
further:

- Are you certain "adminserv.conf" is being used as the config file?
Check that httpd.conf doesn't exist anywhere, check the process table to
see if apache lists the config file it is using, check the apache
error_log to see if it logs the file it loaded, try making a syntax
error in adminserv.conf and check that an apache restart traps it.

- While you're in the error_log, what does it say when you get the
"Forbidden" error? Probably "access denied by server config" or
something...

- Does the apache user have read privilege in sys:/CEET?

- Try acessing your server using just the IP address to check on
DNS/hostname bugs, i.e. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/
