[users@httpd] Apache httpd.conf questions... Configuring for multiple websites

[bruce <be...@earthlink.net>]

Hi...

I'm reviewing the installation instructions for a software app...
(www.gforge.org). I'm realitvely new to apache and it's config file. But I
have some questions that I can't seem to get my hands around....

My gut tells me that all I have to do is figure out how to configure the
config file for the gforge proj/web site and the directives should then be
able to fit within the gforge site declaration....... This would allow the
config file to have multiple sites...each with a separate
DocumentRoot/ScriptAlias...



The following steps are what are required but i'm not sure that I really
understand the issue. The basic question for step #2, can you have multiple
DocumentRoot directives for different websites within the config file. I'm
pretty sure you can, but I can't figure out how... How do you set up the
config file for multiple web sites, and multiple DocumentRoot directives???

	2. Change the DocumentRoot to point to the www directory: DocumentRoot "/
var/ www/ gforge-3.0/ www"
	3. Change the Directory directive following the DocumentRoot as follows:

	<Directory "/var/www/gforge-3.0/www">
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride All Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
	ErrorDocument 404/404.php
	</ Directory>

The same question raised above applies to the use of ScriptAlias. How do you
set up the config file for multiple ScriptAlias directives????

	4. Change the ScriptAlias to /var/www/gforge-3.0/cgi-bin
	5. Change the Directory configuration following the ScriptAlias directive
as follows:

	<Directory "/var/www/gforge-3.0/cgi-bin">
	AllowOverride All Options None Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
	</ Directory>


	7. Add several new filenames to the DirectoryIndex directive:
DirectoryIndex index. html index. shtml index. 	cgi index. php

	<Location/projects>
	 ForceType application/x-httpd-php
	</ Location>
	<Location/users>
	ForceType application/x-httpd-php
	</ Location>

Any help/pointers/assistance/etc.. would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks...
