[luke@solutionsmanagement.com.au: apache2 deb port]

[Daniel Stone <dstone@trinity.unimelb.edu.au>]

I think it's because of the mixing of VirtualHost and NameVirtualHost;
I'll ask the list about it.

I saw your name in the README.Debian with respect to problems with  vhost-base 
for apache2 and thought you might be able to help me :)....maybe.....

I have been setting up a server (debain woody with apache2 from backports.org) 
and am having some virtual host issues.

I've got 2 sites configured so far, the coldfusionmx admin page, and the vhost 
alias for all our web sites, they are below:

cfmx admin:
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.143>
        ServerAdmin luke@solutonsmanagement.com.au
        VirtualDocumentRoot /etc/htdocs/
        ServerName      defiant.solman
        CustomLog /var/log/cfaccess.log combined
</VirtualHost>


<Directory "/etc/htdocs">
    Options -Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from 192.168.0
</Directory>

*********************************************************

normal websites:

NameVirtualHost *

<Directory "/webpages/clientroot/">
    Options -Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>


UseCanonicalName    Off

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName *
    VirtualDocumentRoot /webpages/clientroot/%2.1/%2.2/%0
    DirectoryIndex default.cfm default.htm index.cfm index.htm index.html
    ErrorDocument 404 /404.cfm
</VirtualHost>

So I need to understand, whenever I run just the normal websites - works no 
problem, but when I add in the definition for the admin page, the server 
can't seem to serve the website pages anymore.

The error log says:
Directory index forbidden by rule: /etc/htdocs/

Which is insane, because it shouldn't use the DocRoot of the first non-vhost 
definition as the doc root - I would think it should use the vhosts first, 
and if then it's not found do the non-vhosts....or maybe something 
else.....point is - it's not working and I really need some help - if either 
you or anyone else you know that I can email, any help would be 
appreciated :)

Luke
