[solved] creating a domain with webmin? 2008/08/01 10:07

Hi, I have a virtualmin install, but wanted to create a simple domain (not to be managed by virtualmin) where I will house a simple php script called pastebin.

I created a domain in webmin by going to Webmin -> Servers -> Apache Webserver. I clicked on Create virtual host tab and went to town.

Here's what the entry looks like in my .conf file:

Code:


 
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /home/users/kato/domains/pastebin/public_html
ServerName pastebin.zentrack.net
<Directory "/home/users/kato/domains/pastebin/public_html">
   Options +Indexes
    Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

However, when I try to visit the url, it brings up the default virtualhost instead. I verified this by requesting a page that didn't exist and visiting the default log to see what directory it's looking in:

Code:


 
[Fri Aug 01 12:01:19 2008] [error] [client 208.70.78.16] File does not exist: /home/default/public_html/pastebin.php, referer: http://pastebin.zentrack.net/25190

Anything else I need to set up to make this work?

In a virtual hosting configuration "*" makes no sense. It'll never be the "first best match" for an incoming request, because there are much better matches among your Virtualmin managed virtual hosts with have 192.168.1.1:80 (at least, we strongly recommend they are ip:port based).

So, try changing to an ip:port VirtualHost and see if that works better.

This is also covered in some detail in the "Troubleshooting Common Problems" guide:

I've also tried:

Code:


 
<VirtualHost 67.210.97.170:80>
DocumentRoot /home/users/kato/domains/pastebin/public_html
ServerName pastebin.zentrack.net
<Directory "/home/users/kato/domains/pastebin">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

And I have been sure to restart httpd after each change.

Oh right, I should probably note that it didn't fix the problem. Operating system CentOS Linux 4.6 Webmin version 1.420 Virtualmin version 3.60 (Pro) Kernel and CPU Linux 2.6.9-67.0.22.ELsmp on i686

Do you have an index.html in the public_html for that site (or any other index.* that is recognized by Apache as an index page)?

An index.php, yes. I just tried an index.html too. But as the log post shows, it's not even looking in the right docroot. :( Operating system CentOS Linux 4.6 Webmin version 1.420 Virtualmin version 3.60 (Pro) Kernel and CPU Linux 2.6.9-67.0.22.ELsmp on i686

Adding a DirectoryIndex declaration inside the <VirtualHost> directive fixed the problem for index.php and index.html. Operating system CentOS Linux 4.6 Webmin version 1.420 Virtualmin version 3.60 (Pro) Kernel and CPU Linux 2.6.9-67.0.22.ELsmp on i686

It's odd, though, that if the index file doesn't exist, or apache can't find it at least, I can't access any files on that virtualhost (because it goes to the default server).
