[SOLVED] Help With Virtual Host

SLEDGEHAMMER84 · October 17, 2008

I can not seem to configure my Apache server with virtual host. i had it running with one website. but now i have gotten this error when restarting apache

root@mike-server:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

* Reloading web server config apache2 apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

[Fri Oct 17 14:54:48 2008] [warn] VirtualHost www.mendezmartialarts.com:0 overlaps with VirtualHost mikesgreatgifts.com:80, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive

[Fri Oct 17 14:54:48 2008] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts

I have 3 files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ 000-default , www.mikesgreatgifts.com & www.mendezmartialarts.com

Sorry for the lenthy post, but i thought it would be best to give all the details up front. Any help would be appreciated. If any more info is need i would be happy to provide.

Thanks,

Whenever you specify the <VirtualHost> tag, you need to use <VirtualHost IP:Port>, I'd suggest *:80 to get any IP on port 80. What is in your apache conf file for virtual hosting, or the hostname of the server?

SLEDGEHAMMER84 · October 21, 2008

Ok, I am making Changes as you specified. Here is the contents of my apache2.conf. Where would i find the hostname of my server?

#

# Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.

#

# This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the

# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.

# See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ for detailed information about

# the directives.

#

# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding

# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure

# consult the online docs. You have been warned.

#

# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:

# 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a

# whole (the 'global environment').

# 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server,

# which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.

# These directives also provide default values for the settings

# of all virtual hosts.

# 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to

# different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the

# same Apache server process.

#

# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many

# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the

# server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin

# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "/var/log/apache2/foo.log"

# with ServerRoot set to "" will be interpreted by the

# server as "//var/log/apache2/foo.log".

#

### Section 1: Global Environment

#

# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,

# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it

# can find its configuration files.

#

# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's

# configuration, error, and log files are kept.

#

# NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)

# mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation (available

# at <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/mod/mpm_common.html#lockfile>);

# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.

#

# Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.

#

ServerRoot "/etc/apache2"

#

# The accept serialization lock file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK.

# identification number when it starts.

# This needs to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars

# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow

# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.

# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.

#

# DefaultType is the default MIME type the server will use for a document

# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.

# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is

# a good value. If most of your content is binary, such as applications

# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to

# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are

# text.

#

DefaultType text/plain

#

# HostnameLookups: Log the names of clients or just their IP addresses

# e.g., www.apache.org (on) or 204.62.129.132 (off).

# The default is off because it'd be overall better for the net if people

# had to knowingly turn this feature on, since enabling it means that

# each client request will result in AT LEAST one lookup request to the

# nameserver.

#

HostnameLookups Off

# ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.

# If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost>

# container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be

# logged here. If you *do* define an error logfile for a <VirtualHost>

# container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here.

Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf

# Include all the user configurations:

Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

# Include ports listing

Include /etc/apache2/ports.conf

#

# The following directives define some format nicknames for use with

# a CustomLog directive (see below).

# If you are behind a reverse proxy, you might want to change %h into %{X-Forwarded-For}i

LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common

LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer

LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent

#

# ServerTokens

# This directive configures what you return as the Server HTTP response

# Header. The default is 'Full' which sends information about the OS-Type

# and compiled in modules.

# where Full conveys the most information, and Prod the least.

#

ServerTokens Full

#

# Optionally add a line containing the server version and virtual host

# name to server-generated pages (internal error documents, FTP directory

# listings, mod_status and mod_info output etc., but not CGI generated

# documents or custom error documents).

# Set to "EMail" to also include a mailto: link to the ServerAdmin.

# Set to one of: On | Off | EMail

#

ServerSignature On

#

# Customizable error responses come in three flavors:

# 1) plain text 2) local redirects 3) external redirects

#

# Some examples:

#ErrorDocument 500 "The server made a boo boo."

#ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html

#ErrorDocument 404 "/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl"

#ErrorDocument 402 http://www.example.com/subscription_info.html

#

# Putting this all together, we can internationalize error responses.

#

# We use Alias to redirect any /error/HTTP_<error>.html.var response to

# our collection of by-error message multi-language collections. We use

# includes to substitute the appropriate text.

#

# You can modify the messages' appearance without changing any of the

# default HTTP_<error>.html.var files by adding the line:

#

# Alias /error/include/ "/your/include/path/"

#

# which allows you to create your own set of files by starting with the

# /usr/share/apache2/error/include/ files and copying them to /your/include/path/,

# even on a per-VirtualHost basis. The default include files will display

# your Apache version number and your ServerAdmin email address regardless

# of the setting of ServerSignature.

#

# The internationalized error documents require mod_alias, mod_include

# and mod_negotiation. To activate them, uncomment the following 30 lines.

Is there a need to update the default file? or just the sites i am trying to access?

Thanks

neogranas · October 21, 2008

My server is set up to use /etc/http/conf/httpd.conf, but in that file I have this:

# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If this is not set to valid DNS name for your host, server-generated
# redirections will not work.  See also the UseCanonicalName directive.
#
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
# You will have to access it by its address anyway, and this will make 
# redirections work in a sensible way.
#
#ServerName www.example.com:80
ServerName www.domain.com:80

I put my domain name in the www.domain.com part, but you don't need www. That is what I think your server setup is looking for. You should also be able to use a command to check if the syntax is proper:

apachectl configtest

SLEDGEHAMMER84 · October 21, 2008

I do not have an etc/http/conf.d/ directory

In etc/apache2/conf.d/ I have 2 files virtual.conf and charset

In etc/apache2/ I have a httpd.conf file.

This file is Blank??? I will try to copy and paste what u provided and enter my domains.

SLEDGEHAMMER84 · October 21, 2008

I ran the command but it did not work

root@mike-server:~# apachectl configtest

-bash: apachectl: command not found

root@mike-server:~#

Here is the contents of my new etc/apache2/http.conf

# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If this is not set to valid DNS name for your host, server-generated
# redirections will not work.  See also the UseCanonicalName directive.
#
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
# You will have to access it by its address anyway, and this will make 
# redirections work in a sensible way.
#
#ServerName www.example.com:80
ServerName mikesgreatgifts.com:80
ServerName mendezmartialarts.com:80

Is this correct?

neogranas · October 21, 2008

Just have whichever domain you want to be the "main" one for that server. Then that should work. You can also try:

httpd -t

That may be able to do the same thing.

SLEDGEHAMMER84 · October 21, 2008

ok i made change

# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If this is not set to valid DNS name for your host, server-generated

# You will have to access it by its address anyway, and this will make 
# redirections work in a sensible way.
#
#ServerName www.example.com:80
ServerName mikesgreatgifts.com:80

and then did this in terminal


root@mike-server:~# httpd -t
-bash: httpd: command not found
root@mike-server:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

But i still cannot hit either site

neogranas · October 21, 2008

Hmm...You say you are using a Ubuntu/Debian server?

Look in /usr/sbin for apachect:

updatedb

locate apachectl

You may have to type:

/usr/sbin/apachectl configtest

I noticed we haven't checked on the NameVirtualHost thing from the beginning. Check your apache conf file for that line.

Mine is set like this:

NameVirtualHost *:80

SLEDGEHAMMER84 · October 21, 2008

I am using ubuntu desktop (for the gui) and i installed apache.

In usr/sbin/ i have apache2ctl

this is what i ran in terminal and results

neogranas · October 21, 2008

So I am assuming that you are trying to browse to these websites from the same computer that is the server?

If so, try changing the * in the VirtualHost tag, to 127.0.0.1

The other thing you may want to do is make sure all the directories are in place with the right permissions.

SLEDGEHAMMER84 · October 21, 2008

I am trying to browse through different computer by domain names. I had www.mikesgreatgifts.com up and running. i already registered these domains and pointed to the servers static ip. Only when i went and set up the second website, www.mendezmartialarts.com, my original site, which was up and running for about a month, is now unavailable.

neogranas · October 21, 2008

Odd. What changes have you made in the last month?

Well, I had My first site up and running. Inside a folder in that site i also was working on my second site until i was ready to register a domain. I registerd my domain and moved the contents for my second site into /home/mike/www/www.mendezmartialarts.com. that is when I added my www.mendezmartialarts.com file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/. Then i A2ensite and reloded. I also ran the update manager for ubuntu, because their were about 20 Updates( I'm starting to think that was a mistake). I did all this about a week ago. Other than that I dont think i did anything else to effect the situation.

Unless you know that there weren't any updates to apache then it may be a cause, but i don't believe anything was released the the last month.

To be honest, I'm fresh out of ideas. Hopefully someone else will know what to do.

Thanks for the help. If i can get it working i will post the solution.

Remove the virtual host from 000-default.

Remove the contents of your /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file.

Restart Apache.

$ echo 'NameVirtualHost *' | sudo tee /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default
$ cat /dev/null | sudo tee /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Any Ideas?

Remove all references to :80 in your virtual host configs.

As for the last error, does the dir exist?

SLEDGEHAMMER84 · October 22, 2008

Ok I this is my new /etc/apache2/conf.d/virtual.conf

The directory was a typo

#
#
# We're running multiple virtual hosts.
#
NameVirtualHost *




<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.mikesgreatgifts.com
DocumentRoot "/home/mike/www/www.mikesgreatgifts.com"
<Directory "/home/mike/www/www.mikesgreatgifts.com">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.mendezmartialarts.com
DocumentRoot "/home/mike/www/www.mendezmartialarts.com"
<Directory "/home/mike/www/www.mendezmartialarts.com">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Here is what i get in terminal

root@mike-server:~# /usr/sbin/apache2ctl configtest

I still cannot hit site. Did I edit the correct file?

SLEDGEHAMMER84 · October 22, 2008

UPDATE!

Ok I commented out "NameVirtualHost *" which was in there by default i believe. That got rid of the last error

[Tue Oct 21 21:39:50 2008] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts

This is what i now have

You don't need this file at all /etc/apache2/conf.d/virtual.conf. Your virtual hosts are configured within the /etc/apache2/sites-available directory, where they should be.

As for this....

Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

What is the output of....

$ cat /etc/hosts

?

SLEDGEHAMMER84 · October 22, 2008

Ok I edited my individual virtual host files in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ by removing :* from each file and now i get this in terminal.

root@mike-server:~# /usr/sbin/apache2ctl configtest                             apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

* Reloading web server config apache2                                          
root@mike-server:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       mike-server

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
root@mike-server:~#

I doing these commands thru PuTTY. That shouldn't make a differnce, right? I still cannot reach the site though.
