Hello There, I'm new to server management in Ubuntu. I have a VPS at Linode powered by Ubuntu 13.10 Server edition. I run Ubuntu 13.10 Desktop edition on my laptop and I have a LAMP stack setup with a web directory that works out of an assigned folder in my home folder. I'm trying to achieve this setup: A new Virtual host setup with an IP address different from the localhost or 127.0.0.1, I tried using 128.0.5.1. So under /etc/apache2/sites-available, I created 128.0.5.1.conf and this is the content of the file: Code: <VirtualHost *:80> # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless. # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly. ServerName 128.0.5.1 ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /home/n3rve/www2 # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn, # error, crit, alert, emerg. # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular # modules, e.g. #LogLevel info ssl:warn ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf". #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf <Directory "/home/n3rve/www2"> Order allow,deny Allow from all AllowOverride FileInfo # New directive needed in Apache 2.4.3: Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost> # vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet I edited the /etc/hosts file as follows: Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 B-613 128.0.5.1 localhost 128.0.5.1 B-613 128.0.5.1 127.0.0.1 # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters 127.0.0.1 productsearch.ubuntu.com Then in a terminal window, I ran a2ensite 128.0.5.1.conf and it asked me to run service apache2 reload which I did. Now when I try to run a2ensite 128.0.5.1, it says Site 128.0.5.1 already enabled. When I try to visit http://128.0.5.1, it doesn't work. Looking at the above setup, what have I or haven't I done, and how can I get it working? I appreciate any help.
