I had the joy of finding that a log file .xsession-errors had blown up to where I had an unresponsive system. So that will put a crimp in things for a few days.

For example, if the hostname was "ursula", one might have a line in /etc/hosts which reads 127.0.1.1ursula.example.com ursula so what I could do is, using my previous information, set the FQDN to be pink.com so that /etc/hosts would include: 192.168.1.2pink.com pink 192.168.1.2pink.com red 192.168.1.2pink.com green etc and then I could use vhosting so that to the applications that they are hosted on: 192.168.1.2pink.comred applicationa 192.168.1.2pink.comgreen applicationb etc Would that be an 'acceptable way of doing this?

If I edit the /etc/hosts file I can add any number of names and they all resolve to localhost (or the machine but they all resolve to the same place). When I change the hostname - - - - the FQDN - - - - well I don't see how there is more than one option for that. So when an application complains that there isn't an 'appropriate' FQDN (or whatever the actual wording in the complaint was) then the hostname or FQDN was 'not' set. So I can set up /etc/hosts like: 192.168.1.2 white 192.168.1.2 yellow 192.168.1.2 green 192.168.1.2 red and I have different hosts. But my FQDN is still 'pink' well that doesn't seem to work. So what could I do to resolve this issue? I cannot use 192.168.1.2 for my FQDN. I do not know how to have more than one FQDN. Do I change my machines FQDN to pink.com and then use the other hosts in /etc/hosts? Other options?

Both applications are not expecting to live on / but to me the installation instructions for each are incompatible. So - - - - step by step to make sure I'm not fubaring things too many more times (I'm at 5 times installing the lamp stack trying to get things working). Of course if I knew what I was doing that wouldn't likely be necessary but one trades time for experience (at least in my case). As my other question, email subject: question re: where to place, shades into this one so I'm going to combine the somewhat different requests into one - - this one (hopefully allowed and should be traceable). So I don't really need to use 'virtual hosts'. What I am actually needing to do is to use different ports to the same 'stack' rather than creating different 'stacks'. By this I mean that I don't need to use different server configurations for each application rather than I need to 'just' assign different ports to the different applications and this should work. Where my problem lies is in the request that application a expects to be called from: DocumentRoot /var/www/applicationa/web and the second wants to be called from: DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com . I don't understand how to setup both in the way asked for by the script I'm following for each as I don't understand how to modify, what to modify or even where to modify something to allow both applications to co-exist. Have tried reading the documentation and it can usually follow what is being said by the examples only show exactly what is being referred to without ever showing any context. So I don't understand where that specific whatever belongs and how it relates to the whole. Understand that you are likely not responsible for the docs but even though they are clear and concise without an example which places the specific into its larger setting - - - -well I don't know what to do with the specific and then I mus needs ask here. Perhaps an example configuration could be referred to in the docs so that one could see these details. Thanking you for your assistance muchly!! - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org

[users@httpd] question re: where to place
Greetings Wanting to host for internal use only a number of programs and found the concept of using the module mod_authz_host and the Require directives. What is not clear is where I would place the declaration, require xxx. Does the declaration get placed within sites-available/example.com.conf or is there a better place to put it?

What I found was the concept of virtual hosts. I am not sure if this is a great way to do things but that will be what I'm going to try. I would rather handle every specific program as being hosted on the same instance but perhaps treating each program (that needs a server for its implementation) as an independent host works better. Logically it is a shift for me but I can see how it could assist in security, maybe. Perhaps I'm not understanding either the concept of virtual hosting or how to run multiple programs on one host very well. If so - - - if someone would please advise?

[users@httpd] Configuration question
Greetings Am a noob at server setup installation and configuration. Running on a Debian 10 Buster box set up as a LAMP stack using versions 1. Debian 10 (Buster) 2. Apache 2.4.38 3. Mariadb 10.3 4. PHP 7.3.11 Being a noob I've been using documents to guide me in the setup and the configuration of my stack. History has shown me that I'm quite good at finding some kind of weird way of really confusing things so all this work is being done on a test system - - - meaning that if things get bad enough I would just blow the whole system and everything away and start over but even struggling through all the 'joys' of figuring out the arcanities of how and what - - - - well that's part of the learning process. So my first server software install I did to 'localhost' (this is after all experimental but with the possibility of use after successful installation/configuration/etc). All software to be served is for in-house use only. This is not meant to be a server for use from the outside world This first software wants to be accessed from the browser as localhost/. This means that /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf reads (one line anyway): DocumentRoot /var/www/html. The problem is that the second program wants DocumentRoot /var/www/html commented out and DocumentRoot /var/www/y/web put in its place. I would assume that would mean that apache would no longer be serving program the way it wants to be. Is there a way of resolving this impass? I'm not at all skilled enough to plan out something that would work. Maybe I need to change the settings for both programs. Suggestions, please?
