So, I've tried running a domain, a sub domain and another domain on one machine. I've set up a conf file for every site:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName websitea.com
ServerAlias www.websitea.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/weba
</VirtualHost>
<Directory /var/www/html/weba>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
The same folder config can be found in apache2.conf as well (I tried experimenting with it) and it's the same config across all sites.
The issue is that after putting this DocumentRoot and disabling 000-default.conf I get 403 forbidden.
What I've tried doing so far:
Changing owner to www-data:www-data
Changing perms to 755/777
Putting the directory configurations in
apache2.conf or the website's conf putting all sites in 1 file
all kinds of directory settings (Options Indexes FollowSymLinks,
AllowOverride none/all, Require all granted, Allow from all, Order
Allow,Deny)
but none would work...
EDIT: I found out that the website goes to /www/var/html/ even though the domain is set to get to /www/var/html/weba, DocumentRoot pretty much does nothing in the configurations.
It seems you created a new virtual host configuration file on this path /etc/apache2/sites-available/
you need to enable the website virtual host conf file, for example, id website virtual host conf file name is 'websitea.conf'
then you need run below command
sudo a2ensite websitea.conf

I have multiple local sites which I develop on my local machine.
I'd like to be able to access them on a mobile device while they are still local on my machine.
Using XAMPP these are example vhosts configs:
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "C:/design and photos/agency1/website/public_html"
ServerName agency1dev.com
<Directory "C:/design and photos/agency1/website/public_html">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "C:/design and photos/captives/website/public_html"
ServerName capdev.com
<Directory "C:/design and photos/captives/website/public_html">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Windows hosts file
127.0.0.1 agency1dev.com
127.0.0.1 capdev.com
I understand I can use my machines IP address to reach e.g.:
http://196.168.2.3:8080
But this goes to the XAMPP dir, so, how do I access e.g. agency1dev.com?
Is this possible?
You can try using Finch, https://meetfinch.com
It's very easy to use (recently released a GUI for it) and just 'works' without having to do anything.
Full disclosure: I'm involved in the project.
The solution I found was using NGROK
Very easy to implement:
In cmd or some shell
Go to: C:\path\to\ngrok
Type:
ngrok http -host-header=myapp.dev 8080
Change myapp.dev to suit what you want to look at - and change port (8080) accordingly
Then look at output and it will give you a http and https url to navigate to on your device
Simple!
to delete the public folder from my url I have seen that I have to edit the apache configuration file, but since I also have projects that are not developed with laravel I saw that there is the possibility to create a custom configuration file. Where should I put this file?
You could set up a virtual host to serve as your laravel project like below.
Just edit your Apache's httpd-vhosts.conf file and add something like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName project-laravel
DocumentRoot "YOURPATH/apache2/htdocs/project-laravel/public"
<Directory "YOURPATH/apache2/htdocs/project-laravel/public">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Also you would have to edit your hosts file and add a line
127.0.0.1 project-laravel
Then, restart Apache and enter the project-laravel into your browser bar.
I'm installing Reviewboard on linux, I have copied the config provided by the install package to httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "/usr/www/reviewboard/htdocs"
# Error handlers
ErrorDocument 500 /errordocs/500.html
WSGIPassAuthorization On
WSGIScriptAlias "/reviewboard" "/usr/www/reviewboard/htdocs/reviewboard.wsgi/reviewboard"
<Directory "/usr/www/reviewboard/htdocs">
AllowOverride All
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
Allow from all
</Directory>
# Alias static media requests to filesystem
Alias /reviewboard/media "/usr/www/reviewboard/htdocs/media"
Alias /reviewboard/errordocs "/usr/www/reviewboard/htdocs/errordocs"
Alias /reviewboard/favicon.ico "/usr/www/reviewboard/htdocs/media/rbcommons/images/favicon.png"
</VirtualHost>
However, when I access "http://SITE/reviewboard/htdocs/reviewboard.wsgi", it just gives me the file in plain text instead of running the script
I have checked the mod_wsgi is running on apache2 by "apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_MODULES"
Did I miss any other configuration?
You should be using the URL:
http://SITE/reviewboard
and the WSGIScriptAlias directive should be:
WSGIScriptAlias "/reviewboard" "/usr/www/reviewboard/htdocs/reviewboard.wsgi"
Do be aware though that it is bad practice to be putting your whole Django site under DocumentRoot. That you are seeing the source code for the WSGI script file highlights why it is bad. That is, have an issue with your Apache configuration and you could expose all your source code for people to download. Especially bad if settings.py is in there and it contains database passwords.
Now, address those issues and update question with what you then have and what next problem is as I don't expect that to completely solve the problem because with those mistakes you should have got a different problem than what you describe, so suspect that your configuration is not even being used.
I'm trying to add subdomains to my home server.
svn.domain.com
trac.domain.com
Due to dynamic IP I use dyndns service, on top of that I have domain.com hosted somewhere else. I created CNAME for subdomains on remote host to point to my user.dyndns.org domain.
So now when I visit either of subdomains: trac or svn, I see "It works!" message.
This done, I created two virtual host files under /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
file1: svn.domain.com and file2: trac.domain.com
contents:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName trac.domain.com
DocumentRoot = /var/www/trac/repos
<Directory /var/www/trac/repos>
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName svn.domain.com
DocumentRoot = /var/svn/repos
<Directory /var/svn/repos>
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
But I get error: ERROR: Site trac.domain.com does not exist!
what am I doing wrong?
I had this problem when upgrading from Apache 2.2 to Apache 2.4. The (ridiculous) solution was to ensure all files end with .conf, or a2ensite would ERROR: Site example does not exist!.
Also, when linked manually in sites-enabled, they would not even load without the .conf extension.
I also came across the same problem when I upgraded from Apache 2.2 to 2.4; all my virtual hosts suddenly broke and while trying to search for why this was the case, I stumbled across this question.
It turns out the reason is because of a difference between my old apache2.conf and the new apache2.conf. My old Apache 2.2 conf file had the line
Include sites-enabled/
whereas my new Apache 2.4 conf file had the line
IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf
Lo and behold, when I changed the line to
IncludeOptional sites-enabled/
everything went back to normal.
Try moving the files to /sites-available. Then run a2ensite svn.domain.com and a2ensite trac.domain.com and reload Apache.
if you type a2ensite. it will prompt. Which sites do you want to enable (ie., after you put a .conf file in the sites-available and link it from sites-enabled.
a2ensite expect the full name of the conf file with the .conf extension
a2ensite ONLY accepts .conf files, so copy all sites in sites-available so the have a .conf extension (renaming didn't work itconfused the linkssomehow), erase the original files from sites-available AND sites-enabled. use a2ensite on the new files (you don't need to add .conf) and it all works, with our without the *.conf in /etc/apache2/apach2.conf
There must be some "memory" of the original file even when it is renamed -the symbolic link renames also, butthe erases & enabling "new" .con files works and you can then use a2dissite and a2ensite as before
1) remove all default site inside sites-enable
a2dissite <site-configuration-file-name>
2) take a closed look at your config file: start with a minimum properties like:
<VirtualHost [Domain]:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName [Domain]
DocumentRoot [webAppPath]
<Directory [webAppPath]>
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/my_domain_name_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/my_domain_name_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
My solution for local server name is replacing:
sudo a2ensite serverName
with
sudo a2ensite serverName.conf
How to prepare CakePHP framework to work for many apps in one CakePHP framework?
I want prepare structure folders like this:
app1/
app2/
app3/
cake/
vendors/
plugins/
index.php
I would like using http://app1.localhost/ do running app from app1/ folder?
It's possible?
Basically all you need to do is configure the app/webroot/index.php file of every individual app correctly to point to the correct ROOT/cake folder. The rest is Apache virtual host configuration to point the subdomains to the right app folder.
I'm running XAMPP but I'm assuming you're running something similar on your machine. Anyway, go into your apache\conf folder and open up the httpd.conf file. XAMPP has a file called apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf that is better for adding Virtual Hosts.
So you'd want to enter the appropriate directives like so...
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin postmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/path-to-your-app-webroot-folder-no-trailing-slash"
ServerName app.localhost
##ServerAlias www.dummy-host.localhost
ErrorLog "logs/app.localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/app.localhost-access.log" combined
<Directory "C:/path-to-your-app-webroot-folder-no-trailing-slash">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Furthermore, if you're on Windows XP, you'll want to make an entry in your C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file of 127.0.0.1 app.localhost to resolve the sub-domain. That should get the job done.
