I've been using this tutorial to set up an Apache virtual host on my Ubuntu pc. I've created a no-ip domain which I will be using as the hostname of my virtual host. I've followed every step of the tutorial but it doesn't work. Here's the virtual host file and it's named crm2plus.ddns.net.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80> # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless. # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly. #ServerName www.example.com ServerAdmin [email protected] ServerName crm2plus.ddns.net ServerAlias crm2plus.ddns.net DocumentRoot /var/www/crm2plus.ddns.net/public_html # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn, # error, crit, alert, emerg. # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular # modules, e.g. #LogLevel info ssl:warn ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf". #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf </VirtualHost> <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory> <Directory /var/www> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order Allow,Deny Allow from all </Directory> # vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet I've also added the ip and domain name pair to my local hosts file and here's how it looks:
23.253.21.201 shhasan.ddns.net 127.0.1.1 Ubuntu-Dev 127.0.0.1 localhost 99.250.71.177 crm2plus.ddns.net # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters When I navigate to crm2plus.ddns.net through chrome I get the web page not available page. shhasan.ddns.net is working fine. When I type ssh-keygen -H -F crm2plus.ddns.net into the terminal nothing shows up but when I type ssh-keygen -H -F shhasan.ddns.net this is what shows up:
# Host shhasan.ddns.net found: line 14 type RSA followed by the RSA key.
I've also looked at the Apache error and access logs. The error logs have a lot of repetition of such line of code:
[Fri Nov 14 17:44:50.304782 2014] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 21927] AH00163: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.5.9-1ubuntu4.5 configured -- resuming normal operations [Fri Nov 14 17:44:50.304801 2014] [core:notice] [pid 21927] AH00094: Command line: '/usr/sbin/apache2' [Fri Nov 14 17:44:54.979832 2014] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 21927] AH00169: caught SIGTERM, shutting down I searched for caught SIGTERM, shutting down and I found that this was part of normal operation. I have no idea of where I'm going wrong. It had worked previously for shhasan.ddns.net but it doesn't work for crm2plus.ddns.net.
All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
