ok added a directory /usr/htdocs to see what would happen and now i don't get the 404 error but a directory listing of that folder it seems. Just have to find out why and where it is referring to that folder. It seems that the document root is /usr/htdoc even though i have specified in the config files that it is /mnt/website/forum. Is there anywhere besides the default vhost config file in vhost.d and the httpd.conf that i should be looking?
So basically apache and php work now BUT i can't seem to be able to change the document root for apache. |

paul7v7, I would suggest that you do the following:
move or create a new backup of you apache config files in /etc/apache2 and than start with fresh new files.
Second, I would keep your httpd.conf basically as the standard-default file is, just change the | Code: | | ServerName paul7v7s-forum.org |
under the section 2 part. My guess is that you want this to be whatever your default vhost will be. The serverroot settings at the top are not generally suppost to be edited, so let it remain as | Code: | | ServerRoot "/usr/lib/apache2" |
they affect other things than your document root.
Then at the bottom of your httpd.conf, add you vhosts with | Code: | ## Gentoo VHosts
#
# For Gentoo we include External Virtual Hosts Files.
#
Include conf/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf |
After that, have a look at 00_default_vhost.conf, and edit it like such: | Code: | #
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName paul7v7s-forum.org
ServerAlias *.paul7v7s-forum.org
DocumentRoot "/mnt/website/forum"
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory "/mnt/website/forum">
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
|
That should do it, and keeping that certain vhost at the top of you vhost file will make it your default vhost.
add more vhosts by adding simular blocks underneith in your 00_default_vhost.conf file. (like this--> | Code: | <VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName another-vhost.com
ServerAlias *.another-vhost.com
DocumentRoot "/mnt/website/another-vhost"
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory "/mnt/website/another-vhost">
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost> |
Finally this is what /etc/conf.d/apache2 looks like for another gentoo-server I checked:
| Code: | APACHE2_OPTS="-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D PHP5"
KEEPENV="PATH" |
Adjust this to also include -D USERDIR and see if this all works. Good Luck!
