New Site Shows Apache Default page not uploaded index.html
 

I am new to this and learning so please bear with me. I have mandriva 2006. I setup ispconfig. My router is assigned ip 216.144.242.27. The pc has a static ip of 192.168.4.2. I created a new site www.cjt-design.com. I set the ip address to 216.144.242.27. I did not set dns, because I have other dns already. This was an existing site, so I changed the zone file a record for www.cjt-design.com to 216.144.242.27. The propogation is still in progress, but I have been able to see that the page that comes up for www.cjt-design.com just shows "It Works" which is the default apache web page for the mandriva linux. I have uploaded an index page that is different through the web ftp. I have tried changing the ip address in the site settings to 192.168.4.2, but this made no difference. I tried to search, but perhaps don't know the right terms to search for. Any help is appreciated.

I got the same problem. It comes up with the apache2-default page instead of the "Welcome to ... !" page.

I searched anything related to "apache2-default", "vhost", etc... but didn't find a solution yet.

What's in your Vhosts_ispconfig.conf?

The file Vhost_ispconfig.conf is empty.

Upon further research I discovered that there were several files with date and time stamps in their names. I picked the newest one and put into the Vhost_ispconfig.conf file. I was then able to get the site. I tried adding another site but the conf file did not get updated. Again I copied from the file with the newest timestamp and both sites are up. What do I need to do to get this to update?

I have the same problem too and since I've reinstalled this machine ten times now I'm starting to get a bit desperate.

When I comment out I only see a listing of apache2-default, sharedip and webalizer. You can see what it looks like at http://friisweb.se.

My Vhosts_ispconfig.conf is NOT blank and looks like it is in order. The file is also included in apache2.conf.

I've followed the guide for "The perfect setup - debian sarge", but I get this same problem over and over. All looks good, nothing works.

I will give you all the information you need if you feel like helping me with this.

Thanks

If Vhosts_ispconfig.conf is empty it is likely that some module that is needed is not included in your Apache configuration.
After you've renamed one of these Vhosts_ispconfig.conf files with a date appended to Vhosts_ispconfig.conf, please run What's the output?

Please post the output of Anything in the Apache error log?

httpd -V gives:

I found one error in the logs. Seems apache is looking in /var/www/web1 for the added site, but standard is /home/www..., isn't it? Changing that in ispconfig makes changes to the added site but I still only see a file listing, and it seems I end up at the server root, not in web1. Should I change it in apache? There's too many things to configure and I'm confused here.
