Hi, I have the following setup
Fedora Core 6 Apache 2.2.3 In my httpd.conf file i have the following ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ServerRoot "/opt/httpd-2.2.3" Listen 80 # ServerName - not used since i'm using Name based virtual hosts # DocumentRoot - - ditto - <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all </Directory> # Virtual hosts Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- and in the httpd-vhosts.conf i have ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.11:80 <VirtualHost 192.168.1.11:80> ServerName bfc11.venuslabs.int DocumentRoot "/opt/httpd/htdocs" <Directory "/opt/httpd/htdocs"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from 192.168.1. #Allow from all <FilesMatch "^config\.inc\.php"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </FilesMatch> </Directory> </VirtualHost> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- and in the /etc/hosts file i have the following ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. ::1 bfc11.venuslabs.int bfc11 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.11 bfc11.venuslabs.int bfc11 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now when i try to access the url http://bfc11.venuslabs.int/ it gives a message Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server but if i change the http-vhosts.conf file to use ServerName www.bfc11.venuslabs.int instead of ServerName bfc11.venuslabs.int and change the /etc/hosts file to use 192.168.1.11 www.bfc11.venuslabs.int bfc11 instead of 192.168.1.11 bfc11.venuslabs.int bfc11 i'm able to access the url http://www.bfc11.venuslabs.int what could i be doing wrong with the ServerName bfc11.venuslabs.int ? any pointers ? thanks a bunch. yashesh bhatia. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
