Hi folk

no error in /var/log/httpd/error_log


2. I commented off everthing related to my newly added site its was eable to startup.

3. Ucomment the entires for the newly added site, except for enteries related to errors, I was able restart http server.

4. Accessing www.nooo.cc (the new web site )
I have persmission deny.
/var/log/httpd/error_log has "[Tue Apr 18 00:22:42 2006] [error] [client 192.9.200.198] (13)Permission denied: access to / denied"

5. Executed chmod -R a+rw /home/www, restart httpd, same problem

The /etc/httpd/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf below.

Any ideal what the cause ?

Why did you do this? The ISPConfig installer should have done this, unless something went wrong during your installation...
Anyway, please try the full path in your httpd.conf:

Include /etc/httpd/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

and restart Apache.

Some how it was missing, tried included the fullpath. The problem now is /var/log/httpd/error_log has "[Tue Apr 18 00:22:42 2006] [error] [client 192.9.200.198] (13)Permission denied: access to / denied"

I was your reply in thread http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...nied%3A+access post 10,
The <Directory /home/www/*/web>... etc was not httpd.conf. I added them but still have the error.

Any suggestion.
thanks

It seems that your ISPConfig installation went totally wrong. You should try to make a clean install. This will save you time instead of trying to figure out what is wrong on your system.

Sight this is driving me nuts. I uninstall ISPConfig and apache, and re-install them again.
Configuring virtual webserver should not be so difficult I did it manually!

1. The /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf does not have "Include /etc/httpd/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf" after creating a site.

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *:80>
#    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
#    DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
#    ServerName dummy-host.example.com
#    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
#    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

2. /etc/httpd/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf is zero byte. But /etc/httpd/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf~ has the configuration data.

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1544 Apr 19 10:49 Vhosts_ispconfig.conf~
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    0 Apr 19 10:49 Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

3. ls /home/www has the virtual webserver that is www.nooo.cc

drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Apr  8 16:47 httpsd
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   14 Apr 14 10:30 www.it-destination.com -> /home/www/web1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   14 Apr 17 23:34 www.nooo.cc -> /home/www/web3
drwxr-xr-x  9 root web1 4096 Apr 18 02:05 web3
drwxr-xr-x  9 root web1 4096 Apr 19 14:48 web1

Please help!!

This means that there is probably some module missing in your Apache.
Please do this:

mv /etc/httpd/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf~ /etc/httpd/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf
httpd -t

What's the output?

nothing, no output

Is the file /etc/httpd/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf empty?

If yes, do you have copies of this file with a date appended to the name that are not empty?

No, is NOT empty now. I did "mv /etc/httpd/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf~ /etc/httpd/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.c"

and httpd -t has no output

Maybe you should really consider a clean reinstall.
