Hi Cary. Thanks for getting back to me. I'm glad it finally works. I had
thought it was working for the past week, but then realized that I was the
only one seeing it (on the local host).
I'm not sure if what I did would be helpful to you, but on the off-chance
that it might, here it is:
To the file, /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, I added:
ServerName 123.456.789.123
(the #s being the IP address of the server computer). On my system, this
was necessary, because the server had been set as the localhost initially
(127.0.0.1). Such a change may not be necessary on your system.
I discovered that it was only serving the localhost when I ran the command
to start apache2, which is "apache2 -k start". After each
change I made, I would run "apache2 -k restart" to test it. This was
quite different than it had been on Sarge with apache 1.33. There, the
command was "rcapache start" to start it. Or, I could simply use Webmin.
To the file , I added:
# Marks shit
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.opseu540.info
ServerAlias opseu540.info *.opseu540.info DocumentRoot
/home/mark/public_html </VirtualHost> # End Marks shit
I got this from the example file
/usr/share/doc/apache2/examples/apache2.conf
After tinkering, I decided that virtual hosts didn't belong in apache2.conf
(despite the example); so, I put it in the
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file instead. The example had other
stuff like "ServerAdmin" entry and "ErrorLog" entry, but I figured that's
just frilly stuff -- I simply wanted to get the site served first. The
000-default file is a pointer to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file.
I wanted to be able to set it up as a virtual file, just in case I want
other sites to be run from this server. At the moment I have only this one
site.
The comments "# Marks shit" was just to clearly note for myself where I had
made changes.
Anyway, good luck with getting it going. Lemme know, and then I can be the
one confirming your site.
Mark
