Hi, Having switched ISP, I am having problems with my webserver (LAMP - Debian Sarge, Apache2). It used to work like a charm with my old ISP and all I changed is the first ServerName entry (which I copied from my IPCops main page). For some reason I cannot access the DocumentRoot (/var/www/ sailmaster.nl/) folder for the sailmaster website (www.sailmaster.nl). I can access www.sailmaster.nl/administrator and phpMyAdmin, which is a symlink in the /var/www/sailmaster.nl/ directory. There are no problems connecting to www.gijpstuiver.nl Setting up the server while connected via my previous ISP, I found out that with virtual hosting you always have to have the hostname for the IP-address of the server first in the file which sets the virtual hosts. My modem is in bridged mode, so the IP-address and the hostname is passed on to the 'red' Ethernet card on my IPCop firewall, which is set to DHCP. The IP-address is 84.245.34.233, the hostname is 84-245-34-233.dsl.cambrium.nl I can ping all hostnames and IP-addresses (the internal IP-address of my server as well). I think it must be some DNS-related problem, but I haven't got a clue how to solve it. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated! Underneath is a copy of my /etc/apache2/sites-available/default Regards, Andy NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName 84-245-34-233.dsl.cambrium.nl ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /var/www/ <Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all # This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page # in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/ </Directory> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg.

You posted Apache's access log, not the error log. What's in /var/www/sailmaster.nl/.htaccess? The DNS serveri s responding fine, so I don't think that's the problem.

You're missing files: and you have errors in your rewrite statements. You apparently have a broken Gallery2 installation, also because I don't see the default Gallery2 rewrite rules. indicates rewrite errors. I suggest to fix the Gallery2 install 1st (or remove the left overs if you de-installed) and then add rewritelog directive to the apache config and start debugging.
Rather than debug, I opted to de a clean install on a freshly formatted HD. Based on Falko's 'The Perfect Setup' HowTo. (Copy/paste via Putty, so no typo's there) I can ping www.sailmaster.nl Installed Joomla again, but am still experiencing the same problems: can access www.sailmaster.nl/administrator, while www.sailmaster.nl is redirected to http://www.sailmaster.nl/apache2-default/ However www.sailmaster.nl/index.php gets me the homepage. Where in the Apache2 configuration can I solve this and how? To get php pages processed I had to uncomment some things in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php4.conf which I had commented first as described the HowTo: <IfModule mod_php4.c> # AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 # AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </IfModule> Any sugesstions? Regards, Andy
What's the output of Code: ls -la /var/www ? I think you have to remove Code: RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/ from /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and restart Apache.
Thx a lot! Hi Falko, Commenting out ' RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/ ' solved the problem. Thanks for helping me, not just here on the forum, but with your HowTo's as well. They have enabled me to host small scale web-, ftp- and mailservices on a discarded office PC for a club which has no budget at all! Cheers! Andy
