[TriLUG] Named Virtual Hosts Help

Sun Jan 6 16:13:00 EST 2002

Well once again I've proved that looking for the obvious is always a
solution.
Thanks for actually looking at what I used as an index file. The redirect
was my problem.

Well, the document returned at www.tautaug.org is the following:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;
url=http://www.triangels.org/piphi/"/>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Which redirects things to www.triangles.org/piphi/

Below, however, I notice you have the root of foo.org
as "DocumentRoot /var/www/html/piphi" so when you access
foo.org you would be accessing the piphi directory
directly and of course foo.org/piphi would give you an
error, unless of cours there is a directory called
/var/www/html/piphi/piphi.  Try accessing foo.org
directly instead of with the /piphi/ directly and
see if that is what you're looking for.  If so, and
if you really want to access it as foo.org/piphi/
you need to remove the piphi from your DocumentRoot
statement.
