IP number resolves at router login

Perhaps this link could help you : https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...s-enabled-conf

It states you are having </VirtualHost> without matching <VirtualHost> section.

Your site goes between those two, like this :

<VirtualHost>
DocumentRoot /path/to/site/docs
etc
etc
.
.
</VirtualHost>

Yes I see what I've done or haven't done. So much to ingest at this stage.
I'll go check it all and unravel what I've raveled :-) and look at that link then check back after I've done it in a day or two.
I appreciate your help and time. Thank you

Most welcome.

Well I did have some time so think maybe I've cleaned it up..

Let me go check all the ServerName entries in the conf files.

Okay I've got it down to this.. but still trying..

Quote:

/etc/apache2/sites-available$ sudo apachectl configtest
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
Syntax OK

The only ServerName that is there, is a domain .com name we own which is pointed to our IP via A Zone at the registry.

I'm not sure what the message refers to.

pingu_penguin · 11-28-2022, 03:05 AM

You can set ServerName to any dummy name or set it to localhost.
say , ServerName www.example.com

Okay I see my 80 and 443 are open and I am getting through to the server to the 'net with http
But getting a Forbidden 403 page.
What could cause this ?

I am also looking at changing but to 443 https andcDMZ to help with security plus put it all in a VM.

elgrandeperro · 11-28-2022, 03:33 PM

Probably permissions. I just put a txt file like data.txt at the document root with "hello world" in it.

Then try and read it (and check the httpd logs).

ozstar · 11-28-2022, 05:33 PM

I see this in my error logs..

EDIT

More info in case it can help.

When I place this url in browser localhost/mysite/
I get this..

Quote:

Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

If I just use localhost then I do get the apache index page.

elgrandeperro · 11-28-2022, 08:08 PM

You probably have some "Allow from" directives that allow localhost but not all networks for DocumentRoot. Have you done any Apache setup before?

ozstar · 11-28-2022, 09:22 PM

Yes years ago in LAMP much the same as this, but the old memory is a bit shaky on some things until its boosted again, which is what is happening as we speak :-)
I'll check those conf files again.
Many thanks

ozstar · 11-28-2022, 09:47 PM

Yes you were correct it was in the conf file and it does now resolve at the index page as it should. God work thanks :-)

Not understanding too much of what it meant I just copied what I was told on an apache site. I took a look again and found this set. Is this okay ?

All working now in a VM. At last ! :-)

chrism01 · 12-01-2022, 09:27 PM

One thing that did catch my attention is you using 127.0.1.1. Assuming this is for localhost, that's almost always 127.0.0.1 .
If it works for you, fine, but be aware that almost every article you see for 'localhost' will use 127.0.0.1. You may end up with an inconsistency.
