Problem with (manual) virtual hosts

Hi !

I'm trying to set-up a bunch of small websites, but don't want to creat each one in ISPconfig. So i created a "container" and put each subsite in a subfolder of the "main" web folder.

So, i create a config file in /etc/apache2/sites-availlable, make a link to it in sites-enabled, and reload apache config. The DNS of each domain (2 external DNS servers, no zone set on my server) are corectly configured with A -> my server IP.

But accessing the sites display the default welcome page ("It works!"), and I can't find where the problem is.

Here is the conf file for one domain (later it will contain several similar vhosts) :

(MYSITE is the site name, located in the web folder of MAINSITE)

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/clients/client4/web13/web/MYSITE

    ServerName MYSITE.com
    ServerAlias www.MYSITE.com
    ServerAdmin webmaster@MYSITE.com

    ErrorLog /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/MAINSITE/error.log
	
    <Directory /var/www/MAINSITE.com/web/MYSITE>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/clients/client4/web13/web/MYSITE>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
    
    # suexec enabled
    SuexecUserGroup web13 client4
    # suphp enabled
    <Directory /var/www/clients/client4/web13/web/MYSITE>
        suPHP_Engine on
        # suPHP_UserGroup web13 client4
        AddHandler x-httpd-suphp .php .php3 .php4 .php5
        suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-suphp
    </Directory>
    
</VirtualHost>

When i reload apache config, everything seems fine : no error, except if i introduce a syntax error in the conf file, showing that it is effectively loaded and parsed. No error, but doing nothing visible !

If I declare MYSITE in ISPconfig as an alias of MAINSITE, everything work as exepcted : MYSITE.COM display MAINSITE.COM (this is not what i want to do).

Anybody have a clue ?

Great thanks !

 

thanks Till, i just tried that.

That worked... kind of...

MYSITE.com was accesible... but all other sites on the server suddenly served the content of MYSITE.com!

(all sites are configured qith * as IP-Adress in ISPconfig website panel)

 

Curiously, I checked and found one forgotten site with IP. But everything worked fine! Now i have * instead of IP for all my sites and :
A - all "regular" ISPconfig declared sites are online.
B - the (working) site that had the IP still works, but CGIs in main dir (not cgi-bin) does not run anymore (403)
C - still, the site i declare with custom .vhost display the default "It works!" page :-(

Thanks for your help, it's greatly apreciated.


EDIT : for B, i added +ExecCGI in options/apache directives... CGIs are back.

 

Wow ! that was weird.... and somewhat logical !

I happend to run cat MYSITE.vhost, and saw something very strange : a space just before the tld "com" :

Code:

    ServerName videos2musique. com
    ServerAlias www.videos2musique. com

the strange part is that these spaces were not visible in my text editor, even with "show spaces" turned on! (i double checked !)

Everything is fine now.

Big thanks for your kind help.
