Hello, This is my first thread. Specs: BIND9 Apache2 Debian Lenny Single I.P Problem: I'm trying to setup subdomains for my users in apache. I'd like username.mydomain.com to point to a /www folder in their home directory. Apache2.conf looks like this: <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "/home/indecipherable/mydomain" ServerName www.mydomain.net <Directory "/home/indecipherable/mydomain"> allow from all Options +Indexes </Directory> </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "/home/indecipherable/mydomain" ServerName mydomain.net <Directory "/home/indecipherable/mydomain"> allow from all Options +Indexes </Directory> </VirtualHost> (NOTE: These two above work entirely) <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "/home/username/www" ServerName username.mydomain.net <Directory "/home/username/mydomain"> allow from all Options +Indexes </Directory> </VirtualHost> Does not work. Do I need to set it up as a working site or site-available or add it to my bind directory? I also receive these errors when I'm trying to restart apache, although it does restart. [Fri Mar 05 06:58:15 2010] [error] VirtualHost *:80 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results [Fri Mar 05 06:58:15 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
Does username.mydomain.net exist as a DNS record? Can you try Code: <VirtualHost *> instead of Code: <VirtualHost *:80> ?
sub domain working Thanks falko, I added the BIND dns record incubizzle.mydomain.com @ CNAME works now removed the * from the conf file and it still gives me the same errors on apache restart. apache functions though.
Ah. Sorry Falko - removed the :80 and get the same message about NameVirtualHost *:80. so I entered apache.conf and tried to search for NamevirtualHost with CTRL+W in pico but it was unable to find that variable in the configuration file. Any suggestions as to where it could be? Actually, it failed - i must have made another mistake when I edited it. It says Reloading web server config: apache2[Tue Mar 09 01:55:48 2010] [error] VirtualHost *:80 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results [Tue Mar 09 01:55:48 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts httpd not running, trying to start (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs failed!
Here is my apache2.conf Code: # Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool. # # This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the # configuration directives that give the server its instructions. # See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ for detailed information about # the directives. # # Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding # what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure # consult the online docs. You have been warned. # # The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections: # 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a # whole (the 'global environment'). # 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server, # which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host. # These directives also provide default values for the settings # of all virtual hosts. # 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to # different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the # same Apache server process. # # Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many # of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the # server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin # with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "/var/log/apache2/foo.log" # with ServerRoot set to "" will be interpreted by the # server as "//var/log/apache2/foo.log". # ### Section 1: Global Environment # # The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache, # such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it # can find its configuration files. # # # ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's # configuration, error, and log files are kept. # # NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network) # mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation (available # at <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/mod/mpm_common.html#lockfile>); # you will save yourself a lot of trouble. # # Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path. # ServerRoot "/etc/apache2" # # The accept serialization lock file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK. # #<IfModule !mpm_winnt.c> #<IfModule !mpm_netware.c> LockFile /var/lock/apache2/accept.lock #</IfModule> #</IfModule> # # PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process # identification number when it starts. # This needs to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars # PidFile ${APACHE_PID_FILE} # # Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out. # Timeout 300 # # KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than # one request per connection).

Well, I added it prior to the first virtualhost as you suggested. Success - apache reloaded again thank you. However, this was the reload output estarting web server: apache2[Tue Mar 09 21:00:52 2010] [error] VirtualHost *:80 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results [Tue Mar 09 21:00:52 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts [Tue Mar 09 21:00:52 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts ... waiting [Tue Mar 09 21:00:53 2010] [error] VirtualHost *:80 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results [Tue Mar 09 21:00:53 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts [Tue Mar 09 21:00:53 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
I wish someone like you could login and fix my blunders during this learning process. finding the right resources and failing with terrible tutorials has probably been my downfall. I worked backwards entirely and designed my site, delegated my dns before learning fundamentals of a web server. Sad Sad Panda.
