Apache :: Too Many Redirects With Virtual Host And HTAccess
Apr 5, 2013
I have a WAMP server that hosts a few sites, but I have a particular site with about 5 domains. I want them all to point to the correct website folder and all to be redirected to a single domain for SEO purposes. Here is what it looks like in the virtual hosts file:
I just went with Steadcom's VPS and they are great. I am setting things up and it's going pretty well, I have to dust off my linux/server knowledge that I haven't used in a couple of years.
Anyway I'm creating a virtual host.. I will have about 10 in the end, but right now I only have one domain IP Pointing to my new server. My registrar is NamesDirect.
When I create the virtual host, I can no longer access subdirectories directly. My Virtual Host directory is, say, /var/www/html/newdir
If I try to reach http://www.domainname.com which has been configued as a virtual host, that comes up correctly from the directory /var/www/html/newdir and works fine.
But if I try to reach http://myipaddress/newdir I get a 404 page not found error. Looking at the log, it's trying to reach /var/www/html/newdir/newdir so it's putting in the virtual host redirect even for just hitting the subdirectory directly.
Is this normal? Do I have something configured wrong? I have another domain that I have changed to IP Point to the VPS but until it propogates I won't be able to test having 2 virtual hosts.
Also.. I have not set up DNS on my VPS. I don't really understand it, and IP Pointing has always worked for me when I ran my own server form my home so I was just going to do that. But I wonder if this could be one of the problems.
For some reason, the first virtual host i have listed in apache2.conf gets all the traffic of all the other virtual hosts listed below it.
Example: Domain xyz.com is listed as the first virtual host. the second, third, and fourth are 123.com, 987.com, and mno.com, respectively (fictitious domains). However, it seems that everything below xyz.com goes straight to xyz.com.
If i switch the first entry, xyz.com with any of the others, such as mno.com, so that mno.com is the first virtual host entry, everything then forwards to that domain.
I've run into a wall trying to run apache with multiple websites allowing users to use FTPd to manage files.
I'm running FreeBSD 7.1 on Apache 2.2.x
The issue is that Apache runs as www:www but FTPd writes the files as username:client. When performing some scripts that edit back-end files, this obviously can cause errors.
The data for each directory is stored in /home/username/www
I looked into some apache directives I could use. I tried putting User and Group directives into the vhost configuration for each vhost, but that did not work. I even found the perchild module and it looked like it can do the job but was a bit scared and turned off by the fact that it states it is beta at the top of the page. (I cannot link to it because I do not have enough posts.)
I have a virtual host and I want to allow .htaccess files to be used, but that requires to put allow override yes in the virtual host declairation as its off by default, but I get this error:
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 16 of /etc/httpd/conf/virtualhosts.conf: AllowOverride not allowed here
This completly ditches my whole virtual hosting idea that I've been planing for a while.
Any other way to allow .htaccess through virtual hosts?
Today I configured a Virtual Host (VH) for one of my customers. VH run on WindowsServer 2003 Apache 2.0.59. I enabled mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http modules and successfully loaded. Here is the VH config:
Code:
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80> ServerAdmin admin@example.com ServerName www.example.com DocumentRoot C:/Apache2/htdocs/www/example.com DirectoryIndex index.php <Proxy *> Order Deny,Allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass /cms-test [url] ProxyPassReverse /cms-test [url] ProxyPass /cms-eshop [url] ProxyPassReverse /cms-eshop [url] ErrorLog logs/www.example.com-error.log CustomLog logs/www.example.com-access.log combined </VirtualHost> According stated above proxy should map the content of yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:80 and send it to client... Apache doesn't do that but redirects client directly to yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy instead, even rewriting URL, what is not proper purpose of proxy. I would expect proxy to retrieve content from yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:80 and forward it to client without URL rewriting. Rewriting URL and direct aiming of client to source of content is unsuccessfull of course, because the source (yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:80) trust only to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx which has a right to request a content.
Could anybody explain why proxy doesn't proxy and redirects instead?
I have a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install (desktop). I installed Apache, php and mysql from APT and updated everything.I tried to setup a virtual host using these directions: URL...I followed them to the letter:
o I created a folder /var/www/mydomain.local/public_html o I copied the 000-default.conf in sites available and modified it o I added mydomain.local to my hosts file (with IP of 127.0.0.1 o I used a2ensite to enable the host o I used service apache2 reload
When I went to mydomain.local in firefox, it took me to the default host main page.I tried a restart of the service and even a reboot of the computer. No change.On a theory, I used a2dissite to remote 000-default from the enabled site list and reloaded the service. I got the home page for mydomain.local after that.
I created a named host called localhost and reloaded the apache. When I went to http://localhost it took me to the mydomain.local homepage. Rebooted the computer. Now, localhost gives me the apache default home page and mydomain.local does not work at all (I get a server not found).
I get the feeling that there is an apache configuration item I am missing but I cannot find it.
i have followed twice a tutorial (you'll find it if you type in google "sellersrank ubuntu subversion". It is the second result. You know, I cant insert URL in my posts yet...) to install Ubuntu + Apache + Virtual host + Subversion, but when i try to access the repository through "svn.domain.com" an error message like this is showed:
Address Not Found Firefox can’t find the server at svn.domain.com.
I'm going to use my apache server to host files(it works with a php script so we can't use FTP for now...) so I was wondering if I could limit this virtual host's bandwidth per second so the websites on the other virtual hosts still load properly. Any module for apache on windows which can do this?
I use Webmin (1.69) to work on my development environment. I am using Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 right now. I am not exactly an Ubuntu newbie but I would not call myself an expert either.
I created a virtual host (newdomain.local) with webmin. I filled in all the fields and saved the new VH definition. I added newdomain.local to my hosts file with an ip address of 127.0.0.1 and restarted apache.
When I go to [URL] ...., it is not taking me to the VH's home page but to the default home page.
I am trying to set up domains and subdomains, on my webserver, however the domains are resolving, but when accessing a subdomain I get a 500 internal server error, permissions on files are the same on both domain and sub domain level.
My virtual host files looks like this for domains and for the subdomains, and I am using Apache 2.4.7, on an ubuntu 14.04 running on a rackspace cloud server.
I created a new virtual site and cloned an existing to to the new docroot to have content. But when I access it I receive the Access Denied you do not have permission to access . . .I've checked all my entries and unless I'm blind I cannot figure out how to remedy this on my Windows 2003R2 server running apache 2.2.x
I'm using Vertrigo 2.30 which in turn uses Apache 2.2.26 as part of its stack I am trying to set up virutal host on Windows 7 home premium.in httpd.conf I have uncommented Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf in C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts I have
in C:Program Files (x86)VertrigoServApacheconfvertrigo.conf I have
<Directory "C:Program Files (x86)VertrigoServwww"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from All </Directory>
[code]...
my primary domain still works perfectly but the virtual host I created keeps loading 403 error page I have checked the Apache error log and I found two instanses of
[Tue Dec 31 08:33:29 2013] [error] [client 198.0.65.217] script 'C:/Program Files (x86)/VertrigoServ/www/vhost/modules.php' not found or unable to stat, referer: URL....I have no clue where or why its reading a module.php file granted I do use Nuke Evolution on my primary site but the only page in the virual host folder is a index.html I have checked and double checked.
I am using apache as a reverse proxy, I have several site with http and everything is working fine. For the first time I have tried to configure with https port 443 with certificate, the problem is that it doesn't return to the browser the certificate that I have indicate in the "virtual host" but rather the default certificate of the site.
I am trying to setup a subdomain and/or virtual host to redirect to a specific port and path. I have setup my server with DDYNS through my domain name registar. Through the ddyns client I have set it to assign a subdomain of "outside.name.com" so that my server will have a easy name to get to instead of a dynamic ip address.
I have also setup on my registrars host records another subdomain of "inside.name.com" with a static IP address for internet network accessing to my server.My problem is that I have a service/program on my server that I need access to both internally and externally and this service can only be access through a port of 32400 and HTTP address of /web. (e.g. outside.name.com:32400/web or inside.name.com:32400/web)...
Is there a way that I can create a VirtualHost or Subdomain of "service.*.name.com" that redirects them to ":32400/web" of the hostname they're on? (e.g. service.outside.name.com automatically forwards or proxies--to keep it pretty--to service.outside.name.com:32400/web)

This is annoying for others to type out and I am just wanting to make it look pretty.

My problem is, when I attempt to access a seperate webspace's control panel login through webspace2.com:8443 it automatically redirects me to https://hostname.com:8443.
If however I go to https://webspace2.com:8443 this redirect does not happen and I can log straight in through this domain.
Ideally I need to keep these domains separate and need to remove this non-https redirect that is currently happening.
We're running a VBulletin forum. I've been able to put basic redirects in place. But I'm fuzzy on how to direct links/search engines for forums/threads to the new location.
My customer has an external facing Apache server that is acting as a reverse proxy to two internal applications. They have:
- external addresses for each app which resolve to different ip addresses, so app1.their_domain.com and app2.their_domain.com resolve to 77.3.170.10 and 77.3.170.11 respectively. - the Apache server has two network interfaces with ip addresses 192.168.10.10 and 192.168.10.11 - the external ip addresses resolve to the above internal addresses - the firewall between the Apache server and the internal app servers is configured to allow traffic from 192.168.10.10 to reach app_server1, and traffic from 192.168.10.11 to reach app_server2, both using port 7777.
I have configured a virtual host in httpd.conf for each ip, i.e.
This works fine in that the external address are being routed to the correct application, however the firewall is blocking requests to the second app as it appears the requests are coming from the Apache servers 'primary' ip address 192.168.10.10 instead of 192.168.10.11.
Is it possible to send requests using the ip address from the relevant VirtualHost?
There are a lot of permanent redirects in one of my customer's server. I tried to remove them through clicking the remove button but although it gave a "deleted" message, it failed to do so..
Are you sure you wish to permanently remove the redirect ** All Requests ** on ** All Public Domains **
I click YES and i got the message below.
The redirect ** All Requests ** on ** All Public Domains ** has been removed.
But redirect define is still there.
What should i do? I can access to server via SSH. So may be i can handle with this just editing some file(s)?
There is a page on a separate SharePoint environment, under http://domain.edu/yyy/yyy/yyy/yyy. We have a subdomain called http://123.domain. edu . We need the home page of http://123.domain,edu to point to the SharePoint site, so when users type http://123.domain.edu , they are redirected to http://domain.edu/yyy/yyy/yyy/yyy.
The trick is this - we need all sub-directories NOT to redirect. So, whatever is under http://123.domain.edu/subdirectory should not redirect at all. Is this doable? Also, if it is, I have no clue where to go to make any changes, so any instructions would be great. So far, I have found the text file httpd.conf that I can edit, but I have no clue about the rest.
I installed a url shortner script but the link that the script creates takes you to a server error page.
I viewed the logs and I get this error over and over again.
Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.
