[users@httpd] Problems with IFDefine nesting in Apache 2
We have been running apache 1.3 for years on Linux and Windows.
We are migrating our windows Apache Servers to 2.0 but have run
into a problem with IFDefine.
We start Apache with -D DEVELOPMENT, -D TEST or -D PRODUCTION
depending on which server it is. This lets us use one config
file and syncronize it between servers.
Config looks something like this:
<IFDefine DEVELOPMENT>
<Virtualhost 10.130.4.7:80>
</IFDefine>
<IFDefine TEST>
<Virtualhost 192.168.1.6:80>
</IFDefine>
<IFDefine PRODUCTION>
<Virtualhost 65.202.76.4:80>
</IFDefine>
After upgrading to Apache 2.0 we get the following error:
Syntax error on line 14 of
E:/Inetpub/websites/45th_comps/config/45th_comps.conf:
Expected </Virtualhost> but saw </IFDefine>
This worked fine before, I think it has something to do with how the
tags are nested, is there any way to get this to work in Apache 2.0?
Is this a known issue? Just not supported?
Thanks,
John R. Tipton

It's likely that the server process is not running at all. Are you sure
you started it?
Also, Apache 1.3.14 is very very old. Consider installing a more recent
version, which will run better on Windows, and will have many fewer
bugs. (Or at least different ones ;)

Might want to change your name to something other than local host. Alos I think this will make any diffrence but use 127.0.0.1 in your address bar.
Did you start Apache? Sorry but I got to ask the question.
I'm also some what of a newbie but I have Apache running on Linux and XP. Once you get the hange of it you will not go to anything else ;)

I'm using Apache 1.3.14 with Win2000 - it installs and runs but I can't find Localhost. when I type:
http://localhost, I get the standard page unavailable message. I have changed the config file to:
ServerName localhost.
Any help greatly appreciated. I did check the faq but couldn't find anything useful. Maybe due to my lack of knowledge.

You can use the Listen directive rather than the VirtualHost directive
to restrict what apache-as-a-whole listens to.
The key to remember, however, is that httpd.conf is not a programming
language. It is a configuration file. If you need complicated stuff,
use a pre-processor.

VirtualHost *:80 would work but we use dedicated IPs in production. This
would make it listen on all IPs in Production. Is there a better way to
do this? It worked great in Apache 1.3.
Thanks for the help,

That syntax isn't really supposed to work in 1.3 either. :-)
You might consider using VirtualHost *:80 instead, which will remove the
need to do this kind of switching at all.
