I have php installed with Apache 2.2.x and when i test php scripts etc, i get the code rather then the running script, for example i went to test a phpbb forum and install it on the server and was met with the install.php script rather then the install page which i should of got. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.. Many thanks, Drace

Im curious, i have httpd.conf file and a seperate file for the VH (httpd-vhosts) could this be the root of my problems or not??

im a complete noob when it comes to apache, you said something about is it set up correctly to use VirtualHosts, how would i know if it was??? I apologise for my complete ignorance when it comes to this

We changed the VH as we were missing the code at the top, however after putting the updated VH and restarting apache we still have the same problem, they all load the paranoiaonline.co.uk site, this is really annoying me at the moment, any suggestions?? Also, could this be because of the DocumentRoot in the httpd file being set too: DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/pwd" Although, I've changed this to each of the web site directories e.g. pwd to  cascade etc, and they all seem to be served with the paranoiaonline.co.uk web site, this is seriously messing me about at the mo, so any help is greatly appreciated folks Drace

Added the slashes, but it didn't make any difference other, it still needed the "/cascade" on the end to go to the correct site, although one thing Cascade missed out was that, the document root in the httpd file is set to: DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/pwd/" should this be changed to any thing in particular?

Right lets see if i can be a bit clearer than my last post was.. I have the virtual hosts and DocumentRoot set as suggested, and the paranoiaonline.co.uk site works fine, however when trying to get to the other sites hosted, for example, www.cascade-online.com, im served with the Paranoiaonline site, am i doing something wrong or is there something im missing???

For some reason it works now,when i type www.paranoiaonline.co.uk, i get the correct index page, however, one step forward, two steps back!, when i type "www.gamingsearch.co.uk/cheats" i got a 404 error, and then when i try it without the "/cheats" on the end I'm served with the paranoiaonline.co.uk site...help????

added the index page file types, but theres still the issue of the whole directory index, and I don't know about you but its doing my head in, but ah well, like i said ive done all that was suggested and will no avail, any other ideas?? ??? :-\ :'( Drace

Also with the DirectoryIndex, I have this [code]DirectoryIndex index.html[/code] should i change it to this: [code]DirectoryIndex index.html .htm[/code] or something else?

Ive changed the document root as you suggested and copied what you also suggested for the virtual hosts, however when i type just www.paranoiaonline.co.uk, I still get the directory listing for the server..and not the index page for www.paranoiaonline.co.uk which can be found at [url=http://www.paranoiaonline.co.uk/pwd]www.paranoiaonline.co.uk/pwd[/url]

If I change the document root to what you suggested, and add the /pwd towards the end, would that mean I'd need more then one document root, in the httpd file?

each particular site is the directory listing, for example, www.paranoiaonline.co.uk is the /pwd directory, www.cascade-online.com is the /cascade directory etc. So if i was to edit the httpd.config file and take out the document root and left it simply to the VH i should remove this problem? the reason why we want to host so many sites is because i do web design for a few friends etc... [code] DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"[/code], so should i remove this from the httpd file then? and leave the VH as they are???

I dont want to have multiple sites using one url, i want multiple sites hosted on this particular server, I'm trying to eradicate this index page which shows al ist of directories and my document root is set to htdocs in the httpd file, so any ndeas??

I changed the ServerName directive to my url is this correct or am I totally screwing this up...? this is the code now: [code] <VirtualHost www.paranoiaonline.co.uk:80> DocumentRoot /Apache2.2/htdocs/pwd/ ServerName www.paranoiaonline.co.uk ServerAdmin ben_wake@hotmail.co.uk </VirtualHost> [/code] Any suggestions? however after changing this, I still get the same issue

Hey Folks, I'm currently working in conjunction with Cascade on setting up a server using Apache 2.2.x, I have my virtual host set up like so: [code]<VirtualHost www.paranoiaonline.co.uk:80> DocumentRoot /Apache2.2/htdocs/pwd/ ServerName Paranoia Web Design ServerAdmin ben_wake@hotmail.co.uk </VirtualHost>[/code] However, when I type my url:[url=http://www.paranoiaonline.co.uk]www.paranoiaonline.co.uk[/url] I get the servers index page of all directories hosted on that server and not the index page in my document root. I've figured out that to get to my website I have to type this url [url=http://www.paranoiaonline.co.uk/pwd]www.paranoiaonline.co.uk/pwd[/url], I was wondering if there is a way round this, or am I going to have to post my url with "/pwd" at the end of it???? Also some people when trying to view my site and I know they have the correct url, well it works for me and several other people, they receive a 404 error saying the page cannot be found, is this linked with the same problem or is this something else? As you can tell I'm new to this.. Any help is greatly appreciated, Drace

Cheers man, I'll past the message onto Cascade to start Apache again... I'll let you know the results, Drace

I have my domain pointing to our server ([url=http://www.paranoiaonline.co.uk]www.paranoiaonline.co.uk[/url]), I've also added the virtual host to the http.conf file using the following code: [code]<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /wamp/www/pwd/ ServerName www.paranoiaonline.co.uk </VirtualHost>[/code] However when I type my URL:([url=http://www.paranoiaonline.co.uk]www.paranoiaonline.co.uk[/url]) I get a page with the index of all the directories in the /wamp/www folder, it doesn't load the index page of the /wamp/www/pwd directory, am I missing some code or am I just being stupid? Drace

Cheers Makeshift-theory... We'll let you know how it goes asap!

Seeing as your not familiar with WAMP (its just the prgrams grouped all the programs are as they should be, well they are so far as I know) that bit of info was pointless I know, but still one mans rubbish is another mans treasure as they say. makeshift_theory thanks for your help, your a star!!, If we encounter any problems we'll be sure to post!, Drace

Cheers makeshift theory, I passed the message onto Cascade about the WAN IP and we have success, thanks very much  ;D... While your online, would mind helping us out in the other thread posted by Cascade? I know it's cheeky to ask, but you've been a great help and we would appreciate it a great deal. Drace

So, am I right in assuming we're at a wall right now untill we discover the Wan IP? We came to this before, we had the LAN IP address all set up and condfigured, then we got the WAN IP, after trying this the first time, its probable that when we first tried this the ports were a bit messed up (well no, it's not probable, it pretty much what happened). Anyway!, we had the WAN IP which everytime we tried to use it to bring up the index.html page, we got Cascades Router and Modem settings, the admin pages where everything is set up, is there a way around this? Or should it be possible to view the site even with the LAN IP address if the correct ports are opened etc?? Drace

Hi, I've been working with Cascade on this, when trying to log onto the server from outside his LAN, I get this message: The connection has timed out The server at 192.168.0.136 is taking too long to respond.     *  The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few           moments.     *  If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network           connection.     *  If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure           that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. I know that Firefox is permitted to access the web as I'm not behind any proxy's etc...having contacted Cascade and looking through this forum, I'm assuming the ports should be open to people outside his lan, but I'm not having any luck. Here is the static IP Address that Cascade provided me with: 192.168.0.136, Am I right in assuming that this is a LAN IP address and isn't accessible outside his network? Or am I using outdated theories?? Any help would be greatly appreciated... Drace & Paranoia Web Design
