What I mean is that first you should make sure, that the configuration works locally. I.e. point your browser locally to http://server/ and to http://newpagename/. Of course you need to have the index.htm or index.html in the DocumentRoot directory. If you try access the server from LAN, the server and the alias name need to be in your hosts file in the host from where you are trying to access the http://server/ or http://alias/. If you are using DNS, then you need to have records for both the server and the alias. > and > > Using Firefox 1.5.0.1: Google telling me that "Your search - newpagename - > did not match any documents" I'm a little confused. Why do you try find the site with Google? First of all, it takes a while, before Google finds your site. Secondly Google doesn't know about the alias name of your site, it only searches the contents of the pages in your server. For information on how to make your site show up in the Google results, see the Webmaster basics in the Google site. Simo -- :r ~/.signature signature.asc Description: Digital signature
RE: Cannot change Apache2 ServerName/ServerAlias
Yes, ServerName and ServerAlias are on separate lines in the config file as well as everything you've mentioned below (including the /etc/hosts). The error the browser is giving me is: Cannot find page (or something similar) with IE (on the off chance that it was a browser problem) and Using Firefox 1.5.0.1: Google telling me that "Your search - newpagename - did not match any documents" Glen -Original Message- From: Simo Kauppi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 2:03 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Cannot change Apache2 ServerName/ServerAlias On Tue, Feb 07, 2006 at 12:08:19PM -0500, Yu,Glen [Ontario] wrote: > I'm still having trouble trying to access my page through an alias > > Here's what I've fixed/done so far: > 1) changed ServerName http://server to ServerName server > 2) used the a2ensite tool to enable the site Did you restart apache2? > As for /etc/hosts, I already had the following in it: > 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost > 123.45.678.901hostname.domainname hostname aliasname > > Am I suppose to have them in 2 separate lines? > i.e. > 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost > 123.45.678.901hostname.domainname hostname > 123.45.678.901hostname.domainname aliasname No, they should be on the same line.

RE: Cannot change Apache2 ServerName/ServerAlias
I'm still having trouble trying to access my page through an alias Here's what I've fixed/done so far: 1) changed ServerName http://server to ServerName server 2) used the a2ensite tool to enable the site As for /etc/hosts, I already had the following in it: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 123.45.678.901 hostname.domainname hostname aliasname Am I suppose to have them in 2 separate lines? i.e. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 123.45.678.901 hostname.domainname hostname 123.45.678.901 hostname.domainname aliasname Also, I do plan to have more vhosts running after I figure apache2 (running on Debian 3.1) out.

Have you addded a line in /etc/hosts to point newpagename to your IP address? If you intend to have only one page there by far the simplest way is not mess with VirtualHost setup and just let the main configuration serve pages from your main DocumentRoot no matter with IP address or host name the cliet (e.g. browser) reach you by.

Cannot change Apache2 ServerName/ServerAlias
I'm having trouble changing the ServerName & ServerAlias to look up my page. I'm running Debian 3.1 with 2.4.x kernel on an old Dell laptop, however, I can only access my page via http://server but not as something else (i.e. http://newpagename). This is what I have at the moment inside /etc/apache2/sites-available/default (I simply changed DocumentRoot, commented out RedirectMatch ~/$ /apache2-default, and added in ServerName server and ServerAlias newpagename: NameVirtualHost * ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] # DocumentRoot /var/www/ DocumentRoot /home/glen/webdir Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all # This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page # in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place # RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/ ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg.
