VirtualHost/more folders 3

[conntaxman]

question is ,after setting up VirtualHost for one additional folder in htdocs, now to put more subfolders
will i have to set up more VirtualHost? one for each
additional folder.
Because i couldn't get to my subfolder in the folder that
i made.
tks
johnny
Its late and that is why im asking,otherwise i would just
try it.

 

[conntaxman]

Yup that's it.I just tried and it works,guess a V.H
for every new folder.

Are these additional directories subdirectories of the document root of the original virtual host? If so, you don't need VirtualHost directives for each subdirectory.

I agree. You only need VirtuaHost's if you have multiple virtual hosts. For additional directories within a server/host, you might need Alias directives, Directory container directives, or possibly symolic links within the filesystem, depending on how your system is configured & what you're trying to do. You shouldn't need VirtualHost's for every directory. The apache documentation may be some help to clarify how this works

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/

 

[conntaxman]

Well TKS. again.
Ill look in the doc's about more folders.But it dose work that way.
I know that you guys know.
Great bunch of guys.
Johnny

Ill keep a looking.

Describe with careful detail and in complete sentences your situation and what errors you're getting.

No need for stinkin' manuals when RhythmAce is on the job ;-) When you create a directory container within a vhost container, you know that what you put in the directory container only applies to that vhost's directory don't you? Well now when you create a directory container a directives only apply to that directory and all directories under it. If you want to change some directives for a particular subdirectory and don't want them to apply to all the rest, then you can create a nested container whithin the first one for that particular. Note that the scope of the new directives apply to all subdirectories under this new one but no others. Look at it this way. When parents set rules for their kids, they don't apply to the neighbor's kids. But if their kids bring happy little grandkids into their home, those rules will apply to them too.

For what its worth.Im adding more folders or as many as
i want by just adding another line in the same V.H.
######### I hope this will help the next new bee.and i
hope it's right.

the new folder would be under the "Documentroot.
its working for me.
Tks to all on this forum.

 

[smah]

No, there should only be 1 DocumentRoot. I'm surprised that apache does't throw an error when you restart with multiple DocumentRoot's. You shouldn't need to do anything special for any folders under the DocumentRoot.

 

[RhythmAce]

I say we mug this guy for not paying us no never mind. To add a directory under your one and only DocumentRoot you don't have to do anything. Nothing at all. Zip. Nix. Nada. Zilch. Catch my drift? Dig where I'm coming from? Hip to my jive? Is that a big 10-4? Ya copy? Got your ears on good buddy? C'mon back!

 

[RhythmAce]

If that's you entire Vhost container, I can see you problem. No Directory container. Lets add one.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@domain1.com
    DocumentRoot /var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/domain1/html[/URL]
    ServerName domain1.com
    ErrorLog /var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/domain1/logs/error_log[/URL]
    CustomLog /var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/domain1/logs/acess_log[/URL] common


    <Directory "/var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/domain1/html">[/URL]

       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride None
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all

    </Directory>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/domain1/cgi-bin/"[/URL]

    <Directory "/var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/domain1/cgi-bin">[/URL]
       AllowOverride None
       Options None
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

This is more what a vhost container should look like. Of course you would change the paths to mach your setup. Note the directory containers within the vhost container? They tell apache who can do what in those directories and their sub-directories. I hope this clears things up for you. You should be able to copy and paste this into your config file any time you want to add another vhost.

The path was just an example. I just used a path that is commont on redhat linux. You can actually have your RootDirectories anywhere you want on your hard drive. The common practice is to create a directory (folder) that will contain all your websites. To make the paths shorter try to keep that directory right off the root (C:\). Lets say you want to call this directory web, you would create a new directory called c:/web. Now each domain you host should have its own webspace so create a folder inside c:/web that will let you know whos folder that is. So if you have a domain named domain1.com, you could name it c;/web/domain1. Now inside of domain1's folder you want a place for his html files. On Win32 systems this is generally htdocs and on linux systems it is more commonly called html. So now we have c:/web/domain1/htdocs. Some people place there cgi-bin inside there DocumentRoot but using the ScriptAlias directive in httpd.conf does the same thing, so I put it in the same folder as htdocs. So we have c:/web/domain1/cgi-bin. Some people call this scripts instead of cgi-bin. I also keep each domain's logs there so they can access them for traffic reports and so on. So this directoy is c:/web/domain1/logs. If you never plan on having more tha one domain, then you can place your domains webspace folder right at the root i.e. c:/domain1. If you really are a carefree spirit you can put you htdocs, cgi-bin and log directory in the root directory also. What the heck, put everything in the same directory. ;-) My point is, it doesn't matter where anything goes as long as you tell apache where it is. As long as the layout makes sense to you, that's all that matters.

RhythmAce
Thank you very much.You sure did help me out and now I
feel better.
What you explained about Vir.Host, I know will help out
others on this board.
Like I said before,the guys here are Great and VERY
helpfull.And that's good.
I had different business and when I hired someone I always
told them to ask questions on how to do it,No matter how
silly they seemed.Because if you don't know it how could
you do it and also how could you help out the other person.
Again,thanks to you and everyone else.
Johnny
