MS Virtual PC - How To Access My Localhost (Apache) Subdomains On Guest OS?
Mar 23, 2007
I've just downloaded Microsoft Virtual PC and the Internet Explorer 6 Application Compatibility VPC Image containing an XP installation for testing sites with IE6 [url].
Everything works fine, I chose VPC Shared Networking (NAT) and I can access the internet from the VPC as well as my Apache development server which runs on the host OS (Win XP) by going to the host's IP address which is [url] in my case. And here I have 2 problems:
1. I want to access [url]on VPC just by typing [url]. I added the following line to the hosts file:
192.168.52.141 localhost
But this doesn't work. Interestingly, any name other than localhost works fine, for example:
192.168.52.141 localhost.localhost
or
192.168.52.141 local
This is not a major problem but I'd prefer localhost. Any ideas how to do that?
2. And the more important issue: on my host OS I have some development sites which I have set up to be accessed by subdomains, for example [url], in httpd.conf:
Code:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.3>
ServerName perfekt.localhost
DocumentRoot C:wwwperfekt
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
</VirtualHost>
and in hosts file:
Code:
127.0.0.3 perfekt perfekt.localhost
And now I want to access this site from my VPC too by using subdomains like this! How can I do that? The address 127.0.0.3 seems to be local to the OS and VPC can't see it. I have tried setting other IP addesses in httpd.conf but nothing outside the 127.x.x.x range works on either OS. I suppose I need to make each of my sites to be seen under a different IP from the outside network so that VPC (which is "outside" the host OS) can access them - then I just set up the appropriate subdomain names in VPC hosts file -
I'm currently trying to configure apache 2 to handle subdomains. This is on a local machine (not tied to any domain names) and I'm only doing it to research how the final structure of a site 'could' be setup.
Basically I have a single install of Apache 2 running. The outcome eventually should be to have specific sub domains that all point to the same document root as the actual domain name. So eventually I will have:
Now on my local machine, only the top one works - the subdomains dont. if I add the following into my hosts file in windows, they all work: 127.0.0.1 daneastley 127.0.0.1 subdomain1.daneastley 127.0.0.1 subdomain2.daneastley
the problem being, that I wish to test this enviroment on the local network. How would I go about having every computer being able to access this? I'm assuming it comes down to DNS stuff.
I'm using the following vhost script: URL...This used to work on an older version of apache in Windows. Now I'm running Apache 2.4.6 on Ubuntu 12.04.
When I type in, for example, dhae.papertower.dev, it processes some scripts internally and moves me to www.dhae.papertower.dev.. and breaks. When I check my log, I find that it's trying to go to the /var/www/papertower/www directory.
I tried adding www.*.papertower.dev to the ServerAlias, but that didn't do it.
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'm on windows vista. I've got an SDSL line into the house with a dedicated IP 62.etc. I've then got a Prestige 791R and all PC's plugged in to that. I've also got a wireless router for my Wii set up.
Basically I've set up this DHCP thingy to start at 192.etc.3 and the Wireless router is at 192.etc.1 and the Prestige is at 192.etc.2 my pc is at 192.etc.9
This is about where my knowledge stops unfortunately.
I have installed apache as the most basic default install I think you can and it seems to be working absolutely fine. I'm assuming I could also install PHP and MySQL etc and wouldn't have too much of a problem, however, my friend cannot seem to access the environment from the WAN IP and when I type in my WAN IP I get the prestige router's control panel.
I read somewhere that I needed to forward port 80, now I can 'open' ports in the prestige control panel but I did try opening port 80 in the control panel and pointing it to my LAN IP (92.etc.9) but it didn't seem to work.
I'm at a bit of a loss so if anyone could point me in the right direction I would be most grateful, just to clarify:
//localhost loads the html file 100% //192.etc.9 loads the html file 100% //62.WANIP internally loads my prestige routers control panel //62.WANIP externally does not load a page (cannot be found)
If you need any more info just let me know and I'll get it.
I get the following error when let my site connect to my database: Access denied for user 'apache'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
But when im running lil test script which connect to my localhost with the same passwords and it gives the status 'Connection OK' (im running on admin account, made a MySQL account with DA)
Code:
<?php $link = mysql_connect('localhost','admin_removed','removed'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect to MySQL: ' . mysql_error()); } echo 'Connection OK'; mysql_close($link); ?>
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 have a win2003 server running some apps in the 'default web site'
I have just installed PHP on the 'default web site' and I want to use it to run some admin jobs. BUT I do not want the PHP scripts to be accessible over the internet, they should only run from local machine.
Is it possible to set it up so that the files can be executed only by localhost?
I've been using Dreamhost for years and they're very good, but their MySql databases are quite slow. Then I moved to ServInt with a VPS, and my MySql is on localhost instead of on a different server. WOW! It's so fast!
However, now I'm trying to find a shared hosting package that has fast MySQL service.
I'm not sure if the requirement is that it's on localhost but it sure doesn't hurt.
Is there anyone who is familiar of a good solid shared hosting package with fast MySQL service?
Im trying to setup a mysql server on my centos vps server. Ive installed mysql server and done chkconfig and the mysql server has started. My problems start when i want to set a mysql root password.
I've had a localhost server setup for awhile now, and all of a sudden when I access [url]it wants to download my "index.php" file. However, when I access it via [url]is loads fine.
I have Apache 2.4.6 running without problem on Windows 7 Ultimate.
I upgraded to Apache 2.4.9 by:
Stopping Apache; Renaming the 2.4.6 directory to "old"; Extracting the files from the zip to the Apache directory; and Copying the old httpd.conf to the Apache directory. After rebooting I found that I could not access localhost (or 127.0.0.1).
I then reverted to Apache 2.4.6. Localhost is now working.
I have a simple app where i am currently downloading some images from the internet. I want to use a local web server to host some of these images when i am not connected to the internet. I installed the apache web server and added the images folder under htdocs - my document root.
Now, i want something like when i continue to query images from www.examplesite.com/xyzimage.png within my app, it should be redirected to localhost/images. Is this possible? I tried doing this
In C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts i added this line URL:...
I've very slow response (from 1-2 seconds to tens of seconds) from http://localhost using Apache 2.4.3/Win32 service on Windows 8/32bit (6.2 build 9200). It doesn't depend on the browser used. Responses from all other sites are much faster.
Because it seemed to me to be a DNS issue, I tried to uncomment "127.0.0.1 localhost" and/or "::1 localhost" line in the hosts file, put "http://127.0.0.1" or "http://[::1]" instead of "http://localhost" into the browser, flushing dns by ipconfig /flushdns, stopping DNS Client by "net stop dnscache", disabling IPV6, etc. but nothing worked.
It seems that hosts file is ignored and "localhost" is passed to external DNS. Ping localhost yields to "Reply from ::1: time<1ms" response, ping 127.0.0.1 yields to expected "Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128" response.
Finally, "unplugging the network cable" is the only solution I've found: then the connection to localhost is much faster.
I need to modify a web that is working in the server. I'd like to download it to my computer and test it. For this reason I have to change the htaccess file to change the redirects, but it doesn't work, appears 404 error
I have a home server set up with a couple of things going. Here is the weird thing that I can't figure out. I can access everything just fine from an INTERNET connection external to my LAN using my domain name, let's say "domain.com". So, if I type into my computer on my LAN www.domain.com, it searches without actually finding it's destination giving up after a period of time saying the server cannot be found.
But, if I type www.domain.com on my mobile phone using my data connection, it connects without a hitch and everything functions fine. I have done this set up before at a different home, but since I moved, I have come across this problem and either don't remember having this happen before or don't remember what I did to resolve it. What I should look for?
My customer wants a Windows system - but I'm rusty at best in Windows.I downloaded VC11 x86 Thread Safe (2013-Nov-13 20:57:44), unpacked it, moved it to it's own directory, edited httpd.conf (no auto installation) and confirmed it was working (localhost/index.html)
I added PHP and ran a PHP info - a little trouble getting the php.ini found.Apache seems to work fine on the local system - either localhost/index.html or nn.nn.nn.nn/.But remote browsers timeout when attempting to connect.
1. I've opened command as administrator and run httpd.exe directly
2. I've installed httpd.exe as a service, opened it's properties window and started it from there
3. Changed the listen port to 8080
4. netstat sees the remote browser with a waiting connection - and the local service
5. The Windows system is on my Mac network (same systems where the remote browser is) and I have transferred megabytes of files between the two systems.
In Component Services - the Apache2.4 service shows Log On As 'Local Service' - I'm guessing it should show as 'Network Service.I tried changing this - used the local user login - restarted the service. I didn't see any way to change it to 'Network Service'. Perhaps this is the problem?
ODDLY - the remote browser worked briefly - then failed with the same 'time out'.I'm guessing this is something simple that I don't understand about Windows - (then again, since I don't understand much about Windows, it could be complicated too).
my local host is just taking incredibly long to load. At work I've set it up no differently and it works like a charm, but at home, it works.. But at times it doesnt load instantly until I restart my browser. I have to press refresh or enter to login a million times for it to load after the first few seconds I use it.
I'm using Oracle's VirtualBox.My network on the virtual box is set to Bridged Adapter
apache/2.4.7 php 5.5.9 Linux/Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS No errors in my apache2 error.log file.
First time creating a server on a virtual box. I am not confident i understand how my computer browser access the virtual box server i created. Once i understand that i could fix my issue. Which is, I can't finding my enabled site or localhost via my browser on my computer. All i get is a white page for both. I don't even see the it works page.
I am following this book and got stuck on chapter 1: Understanding and Setting Up Our Development Environment. link to book -- URL...
I have installed Oracle's VirtualBox, mounted Ubuntu, installed apache2 with $ sudo apt-get install apache2 -y. At this point everyone says, now go to your ip and you will see "It Works". Which i do not see. I see a white page with nothing on it. I then looked to see if the localhost /var/www/html/ index. html even exists. Which is does, i opened the file and i can see the line "It Works!".
My hosts file on my computer has ../driver/etc/hosts
I have vhost setup for test of a new website. I want to allow access on the localhost, and, from one IP from the Internet (redacted). Apache serves the site just fine on the server but I can't access the site from my the "xxx...." IP.
I'm using a physical path to test from the public IP as follows:

I don't have a FQDN as yet, so I just made a entry in /etc/hosts as follows:
Code: 127.0.0.1 test
Here is an excerpt from the Apache error log:
Quote: [Mon Jun 17 12:02:16 2013] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] client denied by server configuration: /home/user/public_html/test/index.html
I've checked the firewall and the /etc/hosts.allow- that's not it. I've read the Apache docs and in the vhost block Allow should be evaluated last, and apparently is matching localhost but is not matching my IP.
I just setup an intranet wiki running apache2.2 on ubuntu 12.04. The server currently requires two-way certificate authentication (i.e. a server cert AND client certs).In <VirtualHost *:80>, Redirect permanent / https://<intranetSite>
Everything works dandy, except now that I'd like to find a way to bypass the client cert check for localhost so that I can run some maintenance scripts via cron on the server. Or perhaps it's possible to bypass SSL entirely, just for localhost?
I'm new to Apache. I'm using a version 2.4 for Windows 7. It didn't come in as an .msi so I had to configure the appropriate web-server name via the httpd text document.
Each time I go to http://localhost, I am present with a page with the content "It works." I tried adding a different .html file into the directory to see if I could access that also, but I was not able to navigate to it via the address bar. So I edited the content of index.html from 'It works!' to "It works?!!!" but sadly, the actual page is still showing 'It works!' for its content (Rather ironic, huh?).
So, for whatever reason, the actual 'localhost' page isn't updating or even noticing any of my edits in what I presume to be the correct directory.
trying to find a working solution for setting up a subdomain for my Apache server.
Here is my setting:
(1) I have two virtual hosts defined in httpd-vhosts.conf: domain1.com and domain2.com. Included NameVirtualHost *:80 both into httpd-vhosts.conf and httpd.conf.
4) Here the problem comes. When I enter sub.domain2.com into browser, it shows domain1.com content.
(5) Based on some suggestions, I removed asterisks from ServerAlias lines. This made the subdomain working, but messed up the other two servers, which became unavailable or broken down.
When I type mail.mydomain.com into any browser it resolves to the first virtual host that my apache has even though there aren't any document roots defined for mail.mydomain.com. Apache itself works fine, mail server itself works fine as well. I thought that since mail.mydomain.com has an A record but does not have any document roots specified for that Apache simply takes the first virtual host it has on its list and shows it up online as mail.my domain.com. Is that not right? Is there perhaps any misconfiguration somewhere?
I tried deleting virtual hosts one by one and this test simply confirmed that in order to "serve" mail.mydomain.com Apache takes the first virtual host it has on the list. Then I created a document root for mail.mydomain.com and now it shows some test content I specified but my issue / question remains.. Does it mean that I have to create document root stuff for every single A record I have? For example I have an A record for mail. mydomain. com which works as a mail server but for some reason it also resolves as a simple web page?
The problem in short is that when I type mail.mydomain.com into a browser it shows the content from subdomain.mydomain.com. The relation to mail is not webmail, it's just a regular standard mail server. The question / goal is to find out whether it is supposed to be like that? If it is then I will have to create some content to be shown when someone types mail.mydomain.com
Infrastructure Web Access goes down, and I cant see this page [url], than I have to run this command /etc/init.d/vmware-mgmt restart, after I run this, I can see this page and consoles come up.
