I have a working copy of Zend Server CE and am trying to set up some virtual hosts and it does not seem to be working. $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is not pointing correctly and that is making my live server scripts break.

 

 

I have the following in my vhosts file:

 

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
  DocumentRoot D:/zend_server_ce/Apache2/htdocs/
  ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost http://localhost/domain.com>
  DocumentRoot "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.com"
  ServerName http://localhost/domain.com

  CustomLog "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.com\logs\access.log" combined
  ErrorLog "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.com\logs\error.log"

  <Directory "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.com">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

A bit more information would help, such as where is your DOCUMENT_ROOT pointing to?

 

As far as I know the <Directory> directive requires a tailing slash:

 

<Directory "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.com\">

 

But I have never really quite seen a vhost file setup like what you have pasted, but I have never used Zend Server CE either.

Thanks for the reply. The Vhost set up should be very standard and I am just using examples I saw on the web. The document root that you is an actual one and instead of domain.com I have the websitename.com.

 

As far as I understand, the vhost setup does not need to be any different from lets say xamp.

Did you try adding the trailing slash as I suggested? Did that not work?

 

If the DOCUMENT_ROOT is pointing to "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.com\" what is the problem? IE how is it not pointing correctly?

 

Since it is not "pointing correctly" perhaps it is your code that is flawed and not your vhosts declaration? There are too many variables here, given that you said it breaks on the live server. That says that you are probably working on different PHP Versions with different php.ini files and or the code does some compensation for the localhost server and they do not jive.

 

The first thing first, how does the live server break? What are the symptoms of it? Are you sure it is not just how the code is programmed?

Ah. The issue is that you are using "localhost" whose documentroot is what you just posted above.

 

To fix it, why not access your content via domain.dev here is an example vhost directory:

 

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.com"
  ServerName domain.dev www.domain.dev *.domain.dev

  CustomLog "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.dev\logs\access.log" combined
  ErrorLog "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.dev\logs\error.log"

  <Directory "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.dev\">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

 

Then you will need to modify your hosts file. For windows it is located:

C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

 

Add this to it:

127.0.0.1    domain.dev

 

Reload apache, perhaps do a Start->Run-> gpupdate /force

 

Then open up your browser type in domain.dev and it should work just fine, with the correct document_root.

Actually I had a mistake and now I put in your code properly:

 

<VirtualHost *:80>

  DocumentRoot "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.dev"

  ServerName domain.dev www.domain.dev *.domain.dev

 

  CustomLog "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.dev\logs\access.log" combined

  ErrorLog "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.dev\logs\error.log"

 

  <Directory "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.dev\">

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

    AllowOverride All

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

  </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

 

Now when I go to domain.dev, the site does not pull up

 

Do I need to make any changes to my windows host file?

Sorry, I may have mis-done the vhosts file. Modify it like so:

 

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot "D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.dev"
  ServerName domain.dev 
  ServerAlias www.domain.dev *.domain.dev domain.dev

 

Remember to do an apache reload after that has been done.

I know i need to buy you lunch and a beer on St Patricks.  I still cannot pull up domain.dev

 

OK here are the contents of my vhosts file:

#
# Virtual Hosts
#
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at 
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#

I have the following in my windows hosts file:

 


# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 domain.dev
::1             localhost

 

 

I still cannot get domain.dev as it says

Ok, just to make sure settings took place, try and reboot the computer. This should ensure that apache gets the new settings as well as the gpupdate.

 

Also make sure that in the httpd.conf the vhosts include is uncommented out. I would comment out or remove the dummy vhosts from the vhosts file as well. Give those a try and see what comes of it.

Sorry for the late reply. Got stuck at work.

 

Any how in httpd.conf the vhosts was commented so I uncommented it. Thanks so much for the tip.

 

Now the Apache server wont even start.

 

The contents of my vhosts file are:

Not sure if this is it, but try removing the "s around the Document Root, you should also try and use the apachectl tool which you can run via command line with the -f path/to/vhosts/file to determine where the syntax error is.  You may also try removing domain.dev from the server alias, it should not matter, but may.

OK so made some progress. This works however when I hover over links, they still show http://localhost/domain.dev

 

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.dev
  ServerName domain.dev
  ServerAlias www.domain.dev *.domain.dev domain.dev
  #CustomLog D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.dev\logs\access.log
# ErrorLog D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.dev\logs\error.log

  <Directory D:\zend_server_ce\Apache2\htdocs\domain.dev>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

 

 

I know I am close but not quite there.

Is this declaration

<VirtualHost http://localhost/domain.com>

 

Still in your httpd.conf file at all? If so remove it. Other then that check your file and make sure that your links are not setup to that location.
