Apache root

Hello HowtoForge,

I hope this post finds you well.

I've added my first website to my ISPConfig install. (2.2.4)
The DNS resolves as it should but when I browse to the site, the default apache folder is served from /var/www/html instead of what is in the Vhost conf file. (/var/www/web7/web)

Below is my Vhost's conf file, not sure if it helps diagnose or not.

Thanks for any insight on what I've done wrong.

Code:

NameVirtualHost 96.225.168.6:80
<VirtualHost 96.225.168.6:80>
 ServerName localhost
 ServerAdmin root@localhost
 DocumentRoot /var/www/sharedip
 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK)
   RewriteRule .* - [F]
 </IfModule>
</VirtualHost>

Have you disabled the default site config that comes with your distro? Perhaps it's being hit first, and directing you there.

In your console try ...

cd /etc/apache2 (assuming this is your apache2 config directory)
grep -ir "var/www/html" *

And see if it returns the offending config file.

If you were running Debian, you could run a2dissite and disable default

 

Bingo!

Thanks Jon.

I thought that was it.

I changed the httpd.conf file

from <Directory "/var/www/html">
to <Directory "/var/www">

And it now shows the contents of /var/www when I point my browser to www.advantagecamps.org

If I change it back to /var/www/html it takes me back to the apache root /var/www/html

Thought that was the answer but no.

 

I made the mistake of using a live IP instead of the local non-routable IP.

Making that change squared things away.

Thanks again for the assist.
