PHP on one site, not another

[pineapple]

OK - I have spent the day reading all of the forum threads I can find on this and haven't been able to fix my problem so I'm now going to trouble you guys, if I may ...

I have followed the Perfect Server tutorial of Debian 5 and ISPConfig2.

I then followed the instructions for installing ISPConfig.

Web, email, DNS, FTP all work wonderfully.

PHP is problematic - it works on one site but not another. I deleted the site that it didn't work on and recreated it but still no luck.

I have done the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf renaming and httpd -t and initially it came back "Syntax OK" but now it comes back: "Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/www/sharedip] does not exist". I don't this is an issue - as its a new problem but I am posting it just in case.

I have also checked my Apache config and the include to Vhosts_sipconfig.conf is at the bottom and php5.conf and php5.load are in the list.

PHPMyAdmin works and phpinfo.php works on my first site but not the second one. I have enabled and disabled PHP in the site settings and restarted Apache but still no luck.

I am at a dead end.

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm still trying to work this out, but in case this helps anybody looking to help: it seems as though when I login with FTP with one account it takes me to /var/www/web1 2, 3 etc but with the other it is /var/www/[domain name]/web/ ...

PHP scripts work in /var/www/[domain name]/web but not in /var/www/web(1, 2, 3 etc).

Does this make any sense to anyone?

If you had to rename a copy of Vhosts_ispconfig.conf with date appended then there is a problem in your apache configuration, otherwise ther werent any copys of vthe file with a date appended.

Please post the output of:

ls -la /var/www/sharedip

[pineapple]

Well, I did the config_date_appended option in case it did anything but no, there were no other copies of it in the directory and at the time suspected I was just flinging mud about.

ls -la /var/www/sharedip results in:
ls: cannot access /var/www/sharedip: No such file or directory

Doesn't look like the response I want, how did that happen?

[pineapple]

I haven't managed to solve this yet but I'm wondering: if apache is giving me the warning about the sharedip directory - should I just create it? I'm not sure this is related to the PHP problem though as PHP wasn't working prior to the error. My Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file looks like the one below - PHP works on site1 but not on site2:

[falko]

Please create /var/www/sharedip...

mkdir /var/www/sharedip

... and restart Apache.

Thanks Falko - I did that but it made no difference. In frustration/desperation I have just re-installed Lenny, followed the guide step-by-crucial-step, got ISPConfig up and am now about to try adding clients/sites - I'll let you know how it goes ...

[pineapple]

I have rebuilt everything and it now works like a charm!

Thanks for your help.
