Midgard CMS: Vhost denied access.

Vhost denied access.

Mon June 23 2008 22:26:36 UTC

As I browse to me new midgard install. Apache2 displays "Index of /". Last line in Apache2 error log reads "(error) (client 192.xxx.xxx.xxx)client denied by server configuration /var/lib/midgard/vhosts/www.mydomain.ca/8001/midcom-static/index.php" Any direction would be appreciated.

Hi!

Wy do you want to request files from midcom-static? I just noticed that all php files in midcom-static directory are in restricted area.

What happens if you request www.mydomain.ca:8001?

That's what the log reads. I on the other hand am browsing to http://192.xxx.xxx.xxx:8001. I chose IP address because database domain name and website address are not hosted on same server. When I browse to IP address Apache index page appears and said error log appears.

During last reply I thought to direct browser to fqdn and got same apache index page and these lines showed up in the apache error log.

Hi!

Midgard: host record for hostname.domainname.ca:8001 not found

Midgard database and host table shoudl contain such record. The simplest solution is to update it manually in MySQL :

UPDATE host SET name='hostname.domainname.ca', port=8001;

I don't know how to issue that command. Is it command line?

To this point I have followed the Debian/Etch installation instructions and get to the point where it says to launch the site wizard from your favourite browser and I get nothing. Can I set the database up any other way? I have tried /aegir and /spider-man also.

I am a novice user.

Hi!

It should be invoked at MySQL command line. Midgard stores hosts' data in host table in database, so host record must match virtual host name configured for Apache.

In command line:

mysql midgard

In MySQL:

UPDATE host SET name='hostname.domainname.ca', port=8001;

Request the page when it's done.

Again. Apache's error log. You can also paste host's records. In MySQL:

SELECT id, name, port, prefix FROM host;
