[users@httpd] beginner problem in setting up apache2
I am having different websites in a folder
/var/www/
as
/var/www/atutor
/var/www/dokeos
/var/www/docebolms
.
.
.
/var/www/efront
When I am on lan trying to access these sites as
http://192.168.1.5/dokeos or http://192.168.1.5/docebolms
I am getting a 404 not found page.
The requested URL /dokeos was not found on this server.
here are the response headers to the above said request
http://pastebin.com/g1XDtu1R
another application is dokeos
and response headers which I captured in FireFox when trying to access it
as http://192.168.1.5/docebolms
http://pastebin.com/tiFTRh0A
When I type http://192.168.1.5/
I expect to get a directory listing of different websites which are
present in my /var/www
as per this page http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options
where it said if there is no index.html page in that directory
mod_autoindex will generate a directory index.
instead of getting a directory listing I am getting a response from a vhost
atutor
which I should get when I type http://192.168.1.5/atutor
(because apache serves vhosts in alpha numeric order)
in /etc/apache2/sites-available/atutor
I do have a
<Directory /var/www>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
the complete configuration is here
http://pastebin.com/VpvHdkSP
on lan when ever I am typing http://192.168.1.5/
I am getting response or website which I should get when I type
i.e. http://192.168.1.5/atutor
and if I am typing http://192.168.1.5/docebolms or http;//192.168.1.5/dokes
then URL not found error.
same results with localhost also

Usually the hostname "localhost" is resolved through the "hosts" file
(/etc/hosts on unix-like systems), and then resolves to 127.0.0.1.

Yes you are. You are requesting pages from the host called "localhost"
at port 80 at the IP address "localhost" resolves to (normally 127.0.0.1).
If there is no host with servername or serveralias "localhost" at that
address you will get a response from the default host at that address.

Yes Jonas I have read the links you gave me.
I have finally been able to solve the problem with your and help of
people on this forum.
Here is a link
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1530746
some one had said to post it on Ubuntu forum since apache2 packages
which are shipped by these OS vendors or default configurations are
changed by the OS developers.
I have finally posted the complete solution to my problem with my
understanding of the documents which you had posted.
I will say that
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/details.html#hostmatching
is difficult part of the process.
Thanks for your help.

Did you actually try to read any of the documentation I gave you links to?
This is documented in the documentation for the Include directive, at:
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#include>

Again: Did you try to read the documentation I gave you links to?
Virtual Hosts are documented at:
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
and more specifically named base virtual hosts, wich you are currently
trying to use, are documented at:
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html>
As a general rule, the Apache httpd documentation, wich can be found
through the Apache httpd home page, contains the documentation for
Apache httpd. In that documentation you can read about how to configure
Apache httpd.
The documentation for Apache httpd 2.2 is at:
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/>
The Apache httpd home page is at:
<http://httpd.apache.org/>

what ServerName/ServerAlias should I use for default vhost.
I am asking this question because when on localmachine i.e. webserver
in browser we type http://localhost
on Ubuntu based systems we get an html page saying it works.
localhost in this case as per our discussion if I understand correctly
is being served by the default vhost configuration.
which on Ubuntu systems is
http://pastebin.com/gKsmUeJa
how is localhost hooked up because when I am requesting
http://localhost I am not requesting any particular vhost which
contains
ServerName localhost or ServerAlias localhost.
I want to read more about how apache handles vhost so that in future I
do not have such problems.If you know some link please share here.

The filename affects the order the system returns results for an
Include directive with a wildcard.

It's really only significant for "the very first one" vs. "all
others", in the case where your request does not match any specific
ServerName/ServerAlias -- the first vhost will be used.
If you intentionally create virtualhosts with overlapping ServerName
and ServerAlias directives, maybe the order matters there too. The
primary means for figuring out which name-based vhost to use is based
on the ServerName/ServerAlias of course.

I am using a Debian based setup it is Ubuntu.
You mean to say the choice of filename for vhost affects the order in
which vhosts are looked by apache2.
Meaning a vhost
with name 000-tapas will be served before the vhost file whose name is tapas.
Is this the case.

No, it's just the default because it's the first one listed (for a
given set of NameVirtualHosts.
If you want a default that's not the same as any other current
virtualhost, add a virtualhost to act as the default. If you're using
a debian-like configuration, prefix your vhost filenames with numbers
to control the order.

Re: [users@httpd] beginner problem in setting up apache2
Posted by Tapas Mishra <mi...@gmail.com>.
I forgot to mention in previous message why is it taking atutor as default.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/details.html
is the document I am trying to understand but a default virtualhost
thing is not clear to me.
Following lines
" the request is served from the _default_ vhost if there is such a
vhost for the port to which the client sent the request. If there is
no matching _default_ vhost the request is served from the
main_server."
does that mean I need to have following line
ServerName default
which tells that this is the default vhost to be served.
I just got a reply from some one on a different problem
http://www.spinics.net/lists/apache-users/msg95700.html
but this is some how related to this problem also.
I am not able to understand how does Apache sees the vhosts i.e. how
does it decided which vhost it has to serve first and which vhost it
has to serve later.

VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
*:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server atutor (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/atutor:1)
port 80 namevhost atutor (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/atutor:1)

port 80 namevhost mydomain.com

port 80 namevhost sakai (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/sakai:1)
Syntax OK

I am not clear on this part.I read this
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/details.html
and in the section where it is talking about Hash Table lookups
I could not understand the meaning of this line
"If the lookup fails (the IP address wasn't found) the request is
served from the _default_ vhost if there is such a vhost for the port
to which the client sent the request. If there is no matching
_default_ vhost the request is served from the main_server."
the configuration of atutor which is being served by default always
is
http://pastebin.com/x5pDyiqt
Which virtualhost shoud serve the request by default I am not clear on
this part as each time the server name has to be different.

Include apachectl -S / apache2ctl -S along with the full contents of
the virtual host you think is going to give you a directory listing.
