[users@httpd] Unable to set up virtual hosts on Mac

I've tried to set up a virtual host on my Mac, following all the instructions
at https://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/how-to-set-up-virtual-hosts-in-apache-on-mac-osx-10-11-el-capitan/.

But when I type localhost/~myusernamehere/www.strawberry.com in my browser,
I get a "404 Not Found : The requested URL
/~myusernamehere/www.strawberry.com was not found on
this server." message

The output of "/usr/sbin/apachectl configtest" is "AH00112: Warning:
DocumentRoot [/Users/ewandelanoy/Sites/strawberry] does not exist
Syntax OK"

In my ~/Documents/Sites I have a directory called www.strawberry.com.
Should I rename it to just "strawberry" ?

I mean httpd will run as (have the rights of) the configured
User:Group, just like any logged-in local user.
If a remote client (say malicious) is able to take control of the
server or application by exploiting a vulnerabilty, (s)he could do
anything on the local system with the rights of the server, including
modify anything owned by the configured User (e.g. the content of the
site...)

I suspect that the directory "/Users/myusernamehere/Sites/strawberry"
(and files/directories under it) is owned by "myusernamehere:staff",
so given the httpd configuration you pasted above this could be the
same as the server.

On the httpd side, it would simply be:
   User httpd
   Group httpd
or "apache:apache", "nobody:nogroup", whatever (provided it's not
shared with any other server/user).

On the system side, it depends on who is going to update the Sites.
Will there be a single Sites directory (hence a single "webmaster") or
each user will have its own Sites directory (hence as much
"webmasters")?

I will only talk about the former (easier) case for now...

First I'd put the Sites directory outside of any $HOME directory,
otherwise you'll have to take special action on that directory for the
only purpose of the inner httpd DocumentRoot.

Let's say the webmaster is "root" (you configured httpd on port 80, so
you must be root already to start it) and the DocumentRoot is
"/Library/WebServer/Documents" (the one of the system after all, why
not use it?).

Then you could:
# mv /Users/myusernamehere/Sites /Library/WebServer/Documents/
# chown -R root:root /Library/WebServer/Documents/Sites
# find /Library/WebServer/Documents/Sites/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;'
# find /Library/WebServer/Documents/Sites/ -type f -exec chmod go-w {} \;
(I'm used to Linux, so this may not work on your system, just an example)

But you could replace "root" with "myusernamehere" if you are the
webmaster, just don't mix servers' tree with your ($HOME) tree, IMHO.

Now httpd can access/read anything in
"/Library/WebServer/Documents/Sites/" and hence will work, but it
won't be able to write there or anywhere (it does not need to in usual
cases).

Hope this helps..

   I don't really understand what you mean by "the HTTP server owns
the files it serves". The HTTP server is not a user, is it ? How
should I change my httpd.conf to reflect the improvements you suggest
?

It's usually not a good idea to have the HTTP server own (and be able
to write to) the files/directory it serves.

So you should probably make httpd run as its own User/Group, and make
the DocumentRoot (and below) owned by an administrative user (the one
able to update the content), giving only access/read rigths to the
httpd group (or user, usually as "others").

Yann.

Sorry, without the trailing /, ie:
    <Directory /Users/myusernamehere/Sites/strawberry>

and with the path/name you finally chose for you site...

"I suspect you are mixing concepts (servername vs. documentroot), and
likely not fully understanding what a virtualhost is and how one
would access it via a web server. Do you control the domain "strawberry.com", or
is this just an obscured reference to the real domain you are using?"

    That's what I'm suspecting too, I must admit. So correct me if I am wrong :
isn't the whole point of virtual hosts to emulate the behavior of websites
on faraway servers while actually residing wholly on your personal computer ?
I do not own any public domain called "strawberry.com", but I don't need to
during the development phase of my site, correct ? Only when I wish to make
the site public will I need to get a domain.

"You need to "show your work", i.e., at least the relevant parts of
your virtualhost configuration and the directory list showing the
documentroot for this virtualhost."

 To answer the directory list question :

:Documents/Sites$ ls -R www.strawberry.com/
index.html    public_html

www.strawberry.com//public_html:
index.html

To answer the configuration question : I edited three files, whoses contents
follow below.

Contents of /private/etc/hosts file :

##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 strawberry.com www.strawberry.com
255.255.255.255    broadcasthost
::1             localhost


Contents of /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf file :

# Virtual Hosts
#
# Required modules: mod_log_config

# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName strawberry.com
    ServerAlias www.strawberry.com
    DocumentRoot "/Users/myusernamehere/Sites/strawberry"
    ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/strawberry.com-error_log"
    CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/strawberry.com-access_log" common
    ServerAdmin web@coolestguidesontheplanet.com
</VirtualHost>


Contents of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf file :

#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/> for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/access_log"
# with ServerRoot set to "/usr/local/apache2" will be interpreted by the
# server as "/usr/local/apache2/logs/access_log", whereas "/logs/access_log"
# will be interpreted as '/logs/access_log'.

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to specify a local disk on the
# Mutex directive, if file-based mutexes are used.  If you wish to share the
# same ServerRoot for multiple httpd daemons, you will need to change at
# least PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "/usr"

#
# Mutex: Allows you to set the mutex mechanism and mutex file directory
# for individual mutexes, or change the global defaults
#
# Uncomment and change the directory if mutexes are file-based and the default
# mutex file directory is not on a local disk or is not appropriate for some
# other reason.
#
# Mutex default:/private/var/run

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.

You need to "show your work", i.e., at least the relevant parts of
your virtualhost configuration and the directory list showing the
documentroot for this virtualhost.

I suspect you are mixing concepts (servername vs. documentroot), and
likely not fully understanding what a virtualhost is and how one
would access it via a web server.

Do you control the domain "strawberry.com", or is this just an
obscured reference to the real domain you are using?
