Apache :: Configure A Host To Use Vhosts But Server Keeps Breaking
Aug 29, 2013
I'm trying to configure a host to use vhosts but the server keeps breaking when I uncomment the Include vhosts file line. The apache process starts but none of the hostnames work. When the line is commented out, only the main hostname (defined in httpd.conf) works.
I am setting up my work environment on OSX (a new macbook), and my previous setup is a Windows 7 PC. I've found that mod_rewrite is no longer working, and have found some clues why:
Typically, I want to take [URL] ....
which by mod_rewrite will get turned into [URL] ....
so far so good, and this works fine on the Windows PC.
However, I believe Apache on my macbook has something configured differently, as since it knows about the file catalog.php, it appears to update [URL] ....
BEFORE the mod_rewrite happens. Hence the mod_rewrite fails.
I am basing this on having enabled RewriteLog in httpd.conf.
Found the fix. Per stackOverflow - turns out adding the following to the .htaccess file:
I've been having some trouble with Apache 2.0 recently. Whenever I load somewhere between 200 and 230 virtual hosts into Apache's config (as per my hosting control panel), Apache will fail to restart when the command "apache2ctl restart" is run. The command "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart" fails as well. All it does is signal all child processes of Apache to be terminated and fail to start again.
Here's what the log has to say:
Code: [Tue Nov 13 19:04:18 2007] [notice] SIGHUP received. Attempting to restart [Tue Nov 13 19:04:18 2007] [notice] seg fault or similar nasty error detected in the parent process Is it that Apache is too bloated with vhosts to restart or is it something else?

The <Directory "/home/reflextest/public_html">...</Directory> part does not make any difference

if it was possible to load vhosts from a MySQL database and the only solutions i found didnt work for me. Im running Apache on Windows. Has anyone seen anything that would work with Windows? The only alternative i can think of is to read the database info using PHP and output it to a vhosts config file. I dont want to do that though because it means restarting the server to load the new config and i hear that a lot of vhosts slows the server down
I work for a start up as well as do independent consulting. I had a friend set up my apache server initially for the start up. It's been running fine. Now I want to host a client's site on the same server. I tired just adding a vhost section at the bottom of the conf file, but it said that I was running two sites off the same port. I tried manipulating the stuff my buddy did for me for the first site, then putting two vhosts on the bottom, but that just didn't work.
I have a magento based ecommerce website. In have to integrate a payment method which requires a certificated delivered from a specific certification authority not recognized by browsers. Then I have to use 2 diffrent certificates, one for the payment and the other for the remaining secure operations. Is it configurable in apache?
I have a class project that we are working on where we have to configure and implement an Apache server with ssl using ldap for authentication. I have documentation of literally everything I have done in the configuration. Everything seems to be fine with the config that I can tell. The client gets a prompt for username and password when they access the server ip address. However, once the correct username and password are entered, then the client receives a 500 internal server error message instead of the webpage: "Internal Server Error...The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
I have been tasked with setting up IIS6 to run 10 different sites. We will be using the Host Header Names approach as I do not have 10 IP addresses. I want to allow clients to upload/download to their site via FTP. My IIS6 books have examples of how to setup separate FTP sites for individual IP addresses, how do I accomplish this when using Host Headers? I just need to be pointed in the right direction.
How do I configure dedicated IP's on Virtual Machines running on a CentOS5 Host?
I installed VMWare Server 2 almost without a problem using no GUI, I now have the web interface for the VMWS2 and any machine I create and run on it seems to do so without a problem.
The thing is, I can't connect or know how to configure this virtual network so I end up using 2 dedicated IPs on the Virtual Machine.
I have finally pulled the plug on Site5. Many of you know that they were in the process of migrating many of their older servers to hosting at ThePlanet. We got a notice on Sept 25 that ours was supposed to happen the week of Sept 29-Oct 3 (didn't happen!) and that ". One of the chat girls let it slip that we were migrated on Oct 10...(we weren't notified of our new IP!). As our old server "xxxxx.site5.com" was up and running, we didn't know of any trouble, and ran happily along with our site, updating databases, maintaining code, etc. Then they flipped the switch today on our old server. We were pretty much messed up for Friday afternoon through the weekend while we waited for them to finish their maintenance. The support guys who came in Monday A.M. tried to help, and explained that (unfortunately) both the new and the old servers had problems. I should say that they DID help. But it was too little too late.
Needless to say, I decided we'd had enough, as this was not our first issue with not getting support when we needed it...we migrated on Friday afternoon. If you are looking for a good provider, search elsewhere, I'll be posting more info about where we went.
Site5 support is inadequate for the following reasons:
-support is only accessible by email or web form submission
-usually takes hours for a real person to respond even when subject includes the word "DOWN"
-customer is not able to escalate an issue, priority is at the whim of the responding technician.
I suggested some improvements to Brendan Diaz, CEO at Site5 after our last major ordeal in January. I think that they need to rethink and overhaul their support structure before they add any more clients to business hosting.
(I am using apache 2.2.25).I have this "HTML5 and CSS all in one for dummies" Book. And it tells me I have to configure the .conf file to make apache work with PHP.
At this point I have only edited the Document root folder. The book tells me to find a Loadmodule with an # with a mention of PHP (I'll put the text of the book at the end) and to add an "addtype" statement. If have found neither and when I add the manually the server doesnt work.how can I make PHP work? Also, I have noticed that the Apache commands in CMD don't work. I am running windows 8.1. URL....
I'm working on a script to automatically install apache. Now, after the apache configure/make/make install I need to test for a successful completion. I checked the configure options but there is no flag for an unsuccessful finish.I would like to know if there is any other way than to test the command output for a successful or unsuccessful ending? I'm saving the output on a file and then grepping for an expected line. For example "creating test/ Makefile" for the configure.
I've got a quite difficult problem which I don't know hoe to solve. We use a self created ISAPI module which is a "business server" running behind an Apache.
From time to time a client app crashes the server (the circumstances are not quite clear) - and because there is only one server process, all other clients crash as well. Here is an exemplary log of a crash:
Exception code: 0xc00000fd means stack overflow as I learnt. Therefore we configured mpm_winnt_module to use a 8M ThreadStackSize but this didn't work.
A solution might be that Apache starts for every client its own server process with the module ABCServer.dll. Because it is quite small and there are not thousands of customers this sounds like the perfect solution. No other clients/customers would be affected by a crash.
Unfortunately mpm_winnt_module supports only 1 process AFAIK. Worker and Prefork MPM are not available in Apache's Windows version what I read.
How can we configure Apache to start a new module process per client?

Our business website [URL] .... needs to switch hosts and I am researching exactly what I will need to keep in mind for doing so.
Current host: hostonfiber.com (managed)
Migrating to: GoDaddy (managed, Dedicated linux based server) OS: Linux CentOS 64-BitCPU: Intel® Core™ i5 - 4 coresRAM: 8 GBStorage: 2 x 1 TB hard drivesBandwidth: 10 TB per month
I have never switched servers before and would like to make certain there are no issues or downtime with the migration process.
Before I get started I am looking to compile a comprehensive checklist or order of operations so to speak, things I will need to keep in mind, technical info I will need to gather and processes I will need to fulfill in order to make certain the website functions as it should for all applications.
