[users@httpd] Virtual hosts problem
I know that problems with virtual hosts gets discussed regularly and
this may be answered in the archives, but after looking at what felt
like almost every E-Mail on this lists that includes virtualhost in it
(there are HUNDREDS).
I have a small Apache based web site here at my house that has been
operating just fine a http://www.k6ccc.org I have another site I am
trying to set up using name-based virtual host. This is Apache version
2.40 (yes, I know I need to upgrade that) under Windows 2000 Pro as a
service. Following the instructions almost verbatum from the manual for
virtual hosts, I added the following to httpd.conf file. After stopping
the Apache service and restarting it (using the Apache Service Monitor
dialog box), I get an error message in a popup box that says "The
requested operation has failed!". There are no messages in any log file
about it. If I copy the backup version of the original to httpd.conf,
the Apache service starts just fine so I'm assuming that I screwed
something up when I created the virtual hosts.
Anyone see what I messed up on this?
----- excerpt from httpd.conf -----
# Ensure that Apache listens on port 80
Listen 80
# Listen for virtual host requests on all IP addresses
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.k6ccc.org
ServerAlias k6ccc.org *.k6ccc.org

That was a very useful suggestion as it displayed a real error message.
Turns out that I had added a second Listen 80 statement (following the
example in the manual) and Apache did not like that. No surprise there

The config looks fine. You need to 1) look in the error log and
2) try to start Apache from the command line, and see what errors
(if any) you get.
If you can tell us what the error log said, that will be more helpful
than Windows popup error messages.

Permissions are exactly the same as in C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache2/htdocs where the original site was located. I just
created a sub-directory under that directory for each web site, and at

That's not a supported configuration. DocumentRoot takes a directory, not
a file. (It may work, but that doesn't mean it is a good idea.)
A better idea is something along the lines:
Alias / "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/p.php"
Your problem with the DirectoryIndex directive is almost certainly that
there is another DirectoryIndex directive somewhere in the config
overriding that one.

My configuration below:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin doggy01@one4ok.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs"
DirectoryIndex /p.php
ServerName test.example.com
ErrorLog logs/test.example.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/test.example.com-access_log combined
</VirtualHost>
If I request http://test.example.com/ , then it's ok!
But if I request any other file or directory that are not existed. It will
produce 404 Not Found.
In Apache1, I can set :
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/p.php"
Every request to this site, every REQUEST_URI will pass to the PHP script (
p.php ) as a PATH_INFO. So I can do something with that.
In Apache 2, it works something wrong. There is a warning message in
"logs/test.example.com-error_log".
Warning: DocumentRoot [C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache/htdocs/doggy/p.php] does not exist
And every request to this site, there are only one response that is 404 Not
Found.
Best regards,
Pao-Hsi Huang

The capability is not gone. And nothing in this regard has changed sine
Apache 1.3: you use the DirectoryIndex directive to designate the files that
will be loaded when a request is made for any directory, including your
DocumentRoot.
If you need more help than that, you'll need to say what configuration you
are using and exactly what is going wrong.

Hi All,
In apache 1.3, the DocumentRoot directive can assign an PHP script as an
document root. So all request will bypass to that PHP script.
But in apache 2, the capability is gone. Does anyone know how to activate
it?

Hi all,
In apache 1.3, the DocumentRoot directive can assign an PHP script as an

But in apache 2, the capability is gone. I don't know. Is it an feature
