[users@httpd] very odd vhost 8085 problem
Hi all,
I have a very strange problem, I have apache2 setup with a vhost ...
Listen 8085
NameVirtualHost *:8085
<VirtualHost *:8085>
ServerName kmotion
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /home/dave/kmotion2/www/kmotion_www
<Directory /home/dave/kmotion2/www/kmotion_www>
Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
# Display python errors to web browser - useful for debug
PythonDebug On
# secure login ...
AuthType Basic
# ** INFORMATION ** Users digest file enabled ...
AuthName "kmotion"
AuthUserFile /home/dave/kmotion2/www/passwords/users_digest
Require valid-user
</Directory>
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error_kmotion.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access_kmotion.log combined
Alias /images/ /home/dave/kmotion2/www/kmotion_www/images/
</VirtualHost>
So apache2 and the website I am developeing and all are all running on
my laptop. All works as expected except when I try to access my
website localhost:8085 when I am on line (which should be irrelevant)
but when I am off line apache2 appears to not see my requests to
:8085.
There is nothing in the apache logs, its like my vhost just does not get loaded.
Any ideas anyone, puts a kink in my off line development !
Cheers
Dave

(k)ubuntu 8.04
when offline:
firefox :This document cannot be displayed while offline. To go
online, untick Work Offline from the File menu.
konq: An error occurred while loading http://localhost:8085:
Could not connect to host http://localhost:8085/.
when online:
perfect
when again offline:
problems again.

When both online & offline:
dave@dev-system:~$ ping kmotion
ping: unknown host kmotion
dave@dev-system:~$
Because I am accessing it as localhost I was assuming DNS was not
involved, or at most just the /etc/hosts file which contains
127.0.0.1 localhost
Its all very bizzare ...
cheers

There's a whole bunch of things that may be happening or not here,
depending on the exact circumstances.
But if your vhost is "getting loaded" when you are on-line, there is no
reason why Apache would not load it when you are off-line.
My bet is that you have a problem with DNS (translation of "kmotion"
into an IP address), not with your Apache server, but with your browser.
So,
1) What kind of OS is your laptop running ?
2) Does your laptop "know" the IP address of "kmotion" ?
(open a terminal/command window and type "ping kmotion". Does it tell
you it cannot find "kmotion" ?)
