Hi giltjr,

I had the subdomain accessible at http://roth-ira.localhost/
but it's not resolving.

The host file has:
127.0.0.1      roth-ira.localhost

I'm developing on my laptop so I'm accessing from the outside.

You need to have the sever name set to roth-ra.localhost or have an alias set to roth-ra.localhost.

Hi giltjr

This is what I have in my apache httpd.conf file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/BestIraRescue/trunk/roth-ira"
ServerName roth-ira.localhost
</VirtualHost>

I restarted apached. I placed an index.html in the folder roth-ira. Then I browsed to http://roth-ira.localhost. This is what I receive:

Bad Gateway
The following error occurred:
[code=DNS_HOST_NOT_FOUND] The host name was not found during the DNS lookup. Contact your system administrator if the problem is not found by retrying the URL.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please contact the administrator.

What happens if you try and ping roth-ira.localhost?

It pings
http://tutorialref.com/images/ping-localhost.png

I tried ping localhost and noticed the return was:
Reply from ::1:

But the ping roth-ira.localhost return was:
Reply from 127.0.0.1:1

I don't know if that gives a clue as to the cause of the problem though.

Umm, it looks like you might have IP V6 enabled.  Try disabling it, unless you really need it.

It's not enabled. Any other suggestions?

Issue the command ipconfig /all

With IPV6 enabled you will get IP addresses that have colons in them.  

I don't have colons in the ips. A screenshot:

http://tutorialref.com/images/ipconfig-all-ipv6.png

I'm at a loss. I'll keep investigating though. It's so strange because it WAS working previously. I have no idea what I inadvertently changed

In your previous reply showed you got results from  "::1", that is not a valid IP V4 address, which could be your problem.

You need to find out where that is coming from.

Do you have "::1 localhost" in your hosts file?  If so remove it and see if that resolves your problem.  

Hi giltjr,

You're right. I don't know how that got in there. So I commented the line out. This is in my hosts file:

127.0.0.1       localhost
#::1             localhost
127.0.0.1      roth-ira.localhost
#127.0.0.1      localhost2
#127.0.0.1      ftp://ftp.test
127.0.0.1      university-of-miami.localhost

I restarted Apache. I still receive the 502 Bad Gateway:
http://tutorialref.com/images/502-bad-gateway-localhost-subdomain.png

I'm thinking it has something to do with my httpd.conf file. I have this in one of the VirtualHost:
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"

# Listen for virtual host requests on all IP addresses
NameVirtualHost *:80

#
# AccessFileName: The name of the file to look for in each directory
# for access control information. See also the AllowOverride directive.
#
AccessFileName .htaccess

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/BestIraRescue/trunk/roth-ira"
ServerName roth-ira.localhost
</VirtualHost>

Is there anything in my httpd.conf that you could think of that could be displaying the 502 Bad Gateway. It's not resolving in the browser yet I can ping roth-ira.localhost and I can ping localhost.

Thank you for your help.

I beleive that this is caused by Apache attempting to lookup a host name that is not valid.

You may want to look at your Apache logs to see if it shows what host name it is trying to lookup.

In my error logs I have this at the end but I don't see any reference to the 502 error:

I'm not the familiar with reading logs. Do you see any clues?

Well, it looks like you are running a "application."  It is possible that something inside one of the PHP scripts is trying to access a remote host and can't resolve the host name.

What I would suggest is using something like Wireshark (http://www.wireshark.org) and do a packet capture and look at what dns look-ups are being done.  Then scan the PHP scripts for that host name.

To cut down on the traffic that Wireshark captures you may want to use the capture filter:

   tcp port 53 or  udp port 53

This will only capture DNS look-ups, which will make it easier.

Hi,

Okay, I created the filter:
http://tutorialref.com/images/wireshark-capture-options.png

and I have some output:
http://tutorialref.com/images/wireshark-info.png

I attempted to refresh and access the problem page, namely:
http://roth-ira.localhost/index.html
However, I don't see any reference to the localhost.

BTW, the index.html is a simple html page with the word 'test' in it the body. No PHP.

This works:
http://localhost/
as I receive the "It works2!" I placed the number 2 to make certain that I'm in the correct folder.

I did try again and this the second output from wireshark:
http://tutorialref.com/images/wireshark-info2.png

There is some reference to shawcable.net (my isp) but I don't think that's has anything to do with the problem.

Is the Apache log from you trying to acccess the "index.html" that is just a simple "TEST" page?

Do you have two computers?  If so, try setting up roth-ira.localhost in a second computers host file pointing to the real IP address of the computer running Apache.  Then run wireshark with no filters on the computer running Apache.

Wireshark can NOT caputer traffic on the loop back address under Windows, this is why you need a second computer.

My laptop is Vista Home Premium with Apache 2.2. The ip is 192.168.1.101.

When I access localhost from my laptop I received: It works2!

But I try to access the laptop from the Centos desktop and type in 192.168.1.101 then I simply receive the word 'test' only. It's on the same LAN going through the linksys router.

I can't access localhost from the Centos. I'm still learning Centos. Three questions:

How do I access localhost from the Centos so that it will access the apache server on my laptop vista?

Do you think there is another apache httpd.conf that is on the laptop that may be interfering with the subdomain problem? I tried to do a search but I don't see another conflicting httpd.conf file.

How comes with the Centos machine I receive a 'test' when accessing the ip 192.168.1.101?

You can't access localhost from another computer, well you can but it will break stuff.

localhost is the generic host name in TCP/IP networking for "this computer".  Localhost on your CentOS computer is your CentOS computer.

What is the computer name of your Windows vista computer?  I am assuming you do not have your own DNS server setup, so what you can do is in the /etc/hosts file on your CentOS  setup an entry like

      192.168.1.101 vistcomputer

where "vistcomputer" is the computer name of your Vista Computer.

It's strange.

I initially changed the hosts file on the centos to:
127.0.0.1 localhost3
192.168.1.101 localhost

save and restarted apache. When I visited localhost on the centos I received:
It works2!

But then I changed the hosts file on centos to:
127.0.0.1 localhost3
192.168.1.101 vkimura-PC

save and restarted apache. Then I visited vkimura-PC on the centos and I received:
test

Shouldn't I be receiving:
It works2!

as previously?

Do you have a virtual host that defines the server name "vkimura-PC"?  If not, then you will get the default Apache page.

Can you post your complete httpd.conf file?

#
# This is the main Apache server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/> for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
#
# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
#  1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a
#     whole (the 'global environment').
#  2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server,
#     which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
#     These directives also provide default values for the settings
#     of all virtual hosts.
#  3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
#     different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
#     same Apache server process.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "/etc/httpd" will be interpreted by the
# server as "/etc/httpd/logs/foo.log".
#

### Section 2: 'Main' server configuration
#
# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
# <VirtualHost> definition.  These values also provide defaults for
# any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.
#
# All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,
# in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
# virtual host being defined.
#

#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
ServerAdmin root@localhost

#
# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If this is not set to valid DNS name for your host, server-generated
# redirections will not work.  See also the UseCanonicalName directive.
#
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
# You will have to access it by its address anyway, and this will make
# redirections work in a sensible way.
#
#ServerName www.example.com:80

#
# UseCanonicalName: Determines how Apache constructs self-referencing
# URLs and the SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT variables.
# When set "Off", Apache will use the Hostname and Port supplied

#
# AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers":

#
# To parse .shtml files for server-side includes (SSI):
# (You will also need to add "Includes" to the "Options" directive.)
#

#
# Action lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever

# pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors.
# Format: Action media/type /cgi-script/location
# Format: Action handler-name /cgi-script/location

# Customizable error responses come in three flavors:

#ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
#ErrorDocument 404 "/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl"
#ErrorDocument 402 http://www.example.com/subscription_info.html
#

#
# Putting this all together, we can internationalize error responses.
#
# We use Alias to redirect any /error/HTTP_<error>.html.var response to
# our collection of by-error message multi-language collections.  We use
# includes to substitute the appropriate text.
#
# You can modify the messages' appearance without changing any of the
# default HTTP_<error>.html.var files by adding the line:
#
#   Alias /error/include/ "/your/include/path/"
#
# which allows you to create your own set of files by starting with the
# /var/www/error/include/ files and
# copying them to /your/include/path/, even on a per-VirtualHost basis.

### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
#NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# NOTE: NameVirtualHost cannot be used without a port specifier
# (e.g. :80) if mod_ssl is being used, due to the nature of the
# SSL protocol.
#

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *:80>
#    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
#    DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
#    ServerName dummy-host.example.com
#    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
#    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

That's the httpd.conf file from the centos.

I need the httpd.conf file from which ever computer you are having the problems with the virtual host setup.

Which I beleive is the Vista box.  The config file you posted has no virtual host definitions setup, so I would assume that if you are running Apach on the CentOS box, you would only get the default Apache test page.

#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/> for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2" will be interpreted by the
# server as "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/logs/foo.log".
#
# NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes
# instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/apache" instead of "c:\apache").
# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which Apache.exe is located
# will be used by default.  It is recommended that you always supply
# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths, however, to avoid
# confusion.
#

# ThreadsPerChild: constant number of worker threads in the server process
# MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum  number of requests a server process serves
ThreadsPerChild 250
MaxRequestsPerChild  0

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk.  If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2"

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
#

# Statically compiled modules (those listed by `httpd -l') do not need
# to be loaded here.
#

Thanks.  It may take me a while to go through all of this.

No, I thank you, giltjr, for your help. =) Thank you for your patience and help.

Off hand I don't see anything wrong.  I'm going to try and use your config file on my Apache, but I need to create all of your document root directories and put a dummy index file out there.

Can you go to a command prompt and issue the following command:

    "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin>httpd -S"


This assumes that your configuration file is really named httpd.conf.

A screenshot of the output:

Hi giltjr,

Just wondering if you had a chance to try the httpd.conf file on your server. Thank you for your help. =)

Opps, sorry.  Yes, I did and it works fine on my PC.

What I did was create the directory for the virtual host roth-ira.localhost, localhost, and, university-of-miami.localhost.

The index.html page in each directory was a simple:

<html>
<head>
<title>
"vhostname"
</title>
</head>
<p>"vhostname"</p>
</html

where "vhostname" was the name of the virtual host.  I then added the roth-ira.localhost and university-of-miami,localhost as entries in my hosts file pointing to 127.0.0.1.

When I went to each of the URL's I got the correct page.  So your configuration is correct.

Hi giltjr,

Can you think of anything else that could possibly be causing this problem? Thanks so much for your help by the way.

O.K., I;m not sure why I did not have any problems (could be I am running a different version/level of Apache), but I have noticed a few things.

First you have virtualhost with port 21.  This is typically ftp, but you seem to be running a ftp plugin.  I would try commenting this host out to see if it makes a difference.  I doubt if it will.

Second, change the order of your 1st two virtual hosts.  You have roth-ira.local as the 1st virtualhost on port 80.  The 1st virtual host is normally your default host.  However, your second virtualhost has no severname and thus I think you want this one to be your default.

What version and level of Apache are you running.

Hi giltjr,

I tried the suggestions. I'm beginning to think it's a router problem for some reason though I haven't unplugged my router yet. I will try this and see if this works.

Try accessing the hosts from the same computer that you are running Apache on.  If you do this it should not go through the router.

I unplugged from the Internet and using the same computer that apache is running I browsed to IE and the response is "test" but that's not in my htdocs folder. The index.html should be responding with 'It works2!'.

I'm not quite certain where the file is kept. I tried to do a search but the search comes back with several files with 'index.html'. I tried this in vista search: test index.html. I'm trying to search for the text 'test' in the contents of the file and the filename 'index.html' but I think I'm not doing something write. Do you know how to search for the text in the file's contents and search for the filename 'index.html'?

I think the router is doing something or some configuration is doing this. I'll try and rebooting and see if I receive 'It works2!'

What URL did you go to?

The way the httpd.conf file you have posted should work is:

http://roth-ira.localhost should use index.html located at C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/BestIraRescue/trunk/roth-ira

http://university-of-miami.localhost should use index.html located at C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/omusicstudios/trunk/university-of-miami

http://blog-tutorial-ref.localhost should use index.html located at C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/discoup9/trunk/tutorialref/blog

http://localhost should use index.html located at C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs

http://localhost2 should use index.html located at C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs2

Anyother URL that resloves to the IP address of that computer should use the index.html located at C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/BestIraRescue/trunk/roth-ira

Your second VitrualHost defitnion that does not have a server name and points to C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/test/trunk/small_tests/template/roth-ira  should never be used.

Hi giltjr,

Strange. I'm online at a hotel and all the subdomains are working. Then I tested it by disconnecting from the internet and all the subdomains are working. I think it has something to do with my router. The odd thing is when I was at home and I disconnected from the internet the subdomains were not working correctly. However, when I get home later tonight I will test it again.

I think I read on some forum where a similar subdomain problem occurred and the guy was suggesting a possible router problem. In any case, I'll test when I get home. I'll let you knoow. Thank you for all your help.

If all of the host names are resolving to 127.0.0.1 then the traffic will never hit your router, it never leaves your computer.

I am also assuming that all of the host names are still resolving to 127.0.0.1.

The only way it could work when you are connected to the Internet and not work when you are disconnected is if someplace one or more of the web pages are referencing host names that are real names of hosts live on the Internet.

Which means you web pages (or server side scripts) are not referencing your ".localhost" host names.

One easy way to check is to get Fiddler2 (http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/).  This will act as a proxy between your web browser and the Internet.  It will NOT show you traffic between your web browser and your computer, but if your pages refer to external hosts you will see the traffic in Fiddler.

Hi giltjr,

Good news: it finally works! Bad news: I have no idea what I did to make it work. Actually, I think I rearranged the order of the virtualhosts and deleted one of them that was initially commented out. I'll have to confirm that by using a diff tool. I'll check on it later. Right now I have to get some sleep. I'll let you know though shortly.

But I'm wondering if I made the changes to the conf file why didn't it work before when I was in my home office and all of a sudden it began working at the hotel. I'll let you know what precisely was changed.

I changed the order the virtual host so the 1st contained localhost and the second virtual host contained roth-ira.localhost. I think that's why it works now. I used a diff tool and that's the only difference. So this seems to have worked. But why did the older httpd.conf file work on your machine and not mine?

I'm glad it's fixed. Thanks so much for your help. You've been an awesome help.
