NinjaNate : 31/08/02 06:59 PM : Incident created -   I am unable to create a subdomain in apache. Its going to the top level domain when i try to bring it up in a browser. I've added the domain name to the /etc/hosts file. In the /etc/httpd/conf/Vhosts.conf file i have the following entry. NameVirtualHost 24.53.216.12:81 ServerName www.kittyfriedrice.com ServerAlias www.nate.kittyfriedrice.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/nate DirectoryIndex index.html (my webserver runs on port 81 but i have an A record that forwards all subdomains ex nate and www to port 81) If you type in www.kittyfriedrice.com it will take you to my top level domain. When you type in www.nate.kittyfriedrice.com it takes you to the top level domain also. Thanks for any ideas. Nathan
NinjaNate : 31/08/02 07:02 PM : More info provided -   To clarify i do have the VirtualHost tags in the Vhosts.conf file. They didn't show up on my post.
roc19 : 01/09/02 06:44 AM : Reply received -   If you want your subdomain to go to a different website, create another virtual host block for it like the example below. NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *> DocumentRoot /var/www2/html ServerName www.abc.com Options ExecCGI Includes Indexes FollowSymLinks ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www2/html/cgi-bin/ Alias /include/ /var/www2/html/include/ Alias /icons/ /var/www2/html/icons/ ErrorLog /var/log/httpd2/gladmain-error_log CustomLog /var/log/httpd2/gladmain-access_log common </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> DocumentRoot /var/www2/html/publishing ServerName www.sub.abc.com ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www2/html/publishing/cgi-bin/ ErrorLog /var/log/httpd2/publishing-error_log CustomLog /var/log/httpd2/publishing-access_log common </VirtualHost>
NinjaNate : 02/09/02 08:31 PM : More info provided -   That's where I am running into the problem. I have created a 2nd virtual host entry for my subdomain www.nate.kittyfriedrice.com. The problem is it doesn't follow the directory listing to the /var/www/html/subdomain directory. Instead its going to the top level domains directory /var/www/html. Is there an option that I need to enable? I also run the RPM version of apache from mandrake 8.2 if that helps. Thanks, Nathan
NinjaNate : 02/09/02 08:33 PM : More info provided -   Correction to my above post. I meant DocumentRoot, not Directory listing.
tensor : 04/09/02 09:37 PM : Reply received -   Perhaps is a stupid question, but have you commented the default DocumentRoot in httpd.conf ?
NinjaNate : 05/09/02 03:25 PM : More info provided -   This is what i have in my httpd.conf file. <VirtualHost www.nate.kittyfriedrice.com> Options ExecCgi Includes Indexes FollowSymlinks ServerAdmin [email protected] ServerName www.kittyfriedrice.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/nate User apache Group apache ScriptAlias www.nate.kittyfriedrice.com nate.kittyfriedrice.com ErrorLog logs/error_log SSLLogLevel warn SSLVerifyClient optional SSLProtocol All </VirtualHost>
tensor : 05/09/02 08:54 PM : Reply received -   Have you posted the _full_ httpd.conf or just an exrcept ? If you can, please post httpd.conf, commonhttpd.conf and also vhosts ones
NinjaNate : 06/09/02 04:25 PM : More info provided -   Here is an attached copy of my httpd.conf file. Please note my webserver is running on port 81. I have an A record for 'www' set up in DNS that points to this port. My TLD works fine when you type in www.kittyfriedrice.com. However when I type in www.nate.kittyfriedrice.com it still goes to the top level domain. I also made the virtual host entry with the linuxconf utility. Thanks, Nathan	Attachment

Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount. # We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance. # MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 # # KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the # same client on the same connection. # KeepAliveTimeout 15 # # Server-pool size regulation. Rather than making you guess how many # server processes you need, Apache dynamically adapts to the load it # sees --- that is, it tries to maintain enough server processes to # handle the current load, plus a few spare servers to handle transient # load spikes (e.g., multiple simultaneous requests from a single # Netscape browser). # # It does this by periodically checking how many servers are waiting # for a request. If there are fewer than MinSpareServers, it creates # a new spare. If there are more than MaxSpareServers, some of the # spares die off. The default values are probably OK for most sites. # MinSpareServers 4 MaxSpareServers 10 # # Number of servers to start initially --- should be a reasonable ballpark # figure. # StartServers 4 # # Limit on total number of servers running, i.e., limit on the number # of clients who can simultaneously connect --- if this limit is ever # reached, clients will be LOCKED OUT, so it should NOT BE SET TOO LOW. # It is intended mainly as a brake to keep a runaway server from taking # the system with it as it spirals down... # MaxClients 150 # # MaxRequestsPerChild: the number of requests each child process is # allowed to process before the child dies. The child will exit so # as to avoid problems after prolonged use when Apache (and maybe the # libraries it uses) leak memory or other resources. On most systems, this # isn't really needed, but a few (such as Solaris) do have notable leaks # in the libraries. For these platforms, set to something like 10000 # or so; a setting of 0 means unlimited. # # NOTE: This value does not include keepalive requests after the initial # request per connection. For example, if a child process handles # an initial request and 10 subsequent "keptalive" requests, it # would only count as 1 request towards this limit. # MaxRequestsPerChild 500 Include conf/addon-modules/php.conf Include conf/ssl/mod_ssl.conf Include conf/ssl/ssl.default-vhost.conf <VirtualHost www.nate.kittyfriedrice.com:81> Options ExecCgi Includes Indexes FollowSymlinks ServerAdmin [email protected] ServerName www.kittyfriedrice.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/nate User apache Group apache ScriptAlias www.nate.kittyfriedrice.com nate.kittyfriedrice.com ErrorLog logs/error_log SSLLogLevel warn SSLVerifyClient optional SSLProtocol All </VirtualHost> [root@kittyfriedrice conf]#

tensor : 06/09/02 08:38 PM : Reply received -   Your virtual host has www.kittyfriedrice.com ServerName; it should be www.nate.kittyfriedrice.com It's also better to have two virtual servers: one for your main server, and one for your secondary. It should work either way, but is easier to maintain this way
NinjaNate : 06/09/02 09:48 PM : More info provided -   I modified the entry in the httpd.conf file but received the same error. The weird thing is if you go to http://www.nate.kittyfriedrice.com, nothing comes up. However if you go to http://www.nate.kttyfriedrice.com:81 the top level domain comes up. In the httpd.conf file I modifed the NameVirtualHost 24.53.216.12 entry (line 6) to NameVirtualHost 24.53.216.12:81. This didn't correct the issue. The think the problem is somewhere in the conf file. I've determined that the server is receiving the port 81 request. It's just not doing anything with it.
