Updates to initial bug report. 1) There is no NameVirtualHost directive This is not a bug, but related to the confusion on item #5 see below 2) There is no place to specify values for NameVirtualHost directive This is not a bug, but related to the confusion on item #5 see below 3) Duplicate entries are set for TransferLog when specified This still happens. It's in my config, not sure if it affects anything. Server still runs. 4) In directory options, the word 'from' appears twice. eg. 'Allow from from all' This still happens. It's in my config, not sure if it affects anything. eg. Allow from from all Server still starts and runs. 5) The 'Directory Page Search List' is not transferred to the DirectoryIndex directive. This item #5 is probably the root cause of the problems I have had. Site default values are not stored in http.conf file. To reproduce a) In KDE select Menu->System_Settings->Server-Settings->HTTP_Server b) Select 'Virtual Host' Tab c) Select Add to add a virtual host d) Select 'Name based Virtual host' e) Complete fields Virtual_Host_Name, Document_root, Webmaster_Email, IP_Address, Server_Host_Name with valid information. f) Select 'Site_Configuration' from list on left. f.1) Note Directory Search Page List contains index.html, index.htm, index.shtml f.2) Do not modify, and select OK to close window. g) Select OK to close Apache Configuration and save. h) Check http.conf file, note that DirectoryIndex directive does not exist in <VirtualHost> i) Repeat steps a-g, except on step f.2 add test.html to Directory Page Search List J) Check http.conf file, note presence of DirectoryIndex directive that contains all the values from the configuration program. I observe the same kind of errors on redhat 8.0 As a matter of fact I cannot configure Apache with the redhat-httpd- configuration tool. :-(( Strangely, I also observe that I have to enter more and more "page down" strokes till I arrive at lines with text, when I am looking at httpd.config with "cat filename ¦ less" I can reproduce the problem on latest Fedora Core tree and have found the root of the problem. I'm currently working on a fix which i hope to get in in the next version. Read ya, Phil *** Bug 97081 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** OK, fix is ready. Unfortunately it's not perfect, but it's the best i can do: If you have an "old" configuration and edit the Virtualhost where the DirectoryIndex was listed the list is now empty. Just add the 3 entries maunally and you're set. For new Virtualhosts everything is fine now, it will directly contain the 3 default values. The reason for the first "problem" is that one could (with the new version) remove all DirectoryIndex entries on purpose (so that either a directory listing would be displayed or a forbidden message, depending on wether directory listings are activated or now) and i can't tell wether it's intentional or because of the old config file (which did display the default values but never stored them). A new version should go out sometime in the next few days via Fedore Core development. Read ya, Phil |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: When configuring the web server as a virtual host server, redhat-config-httpd saves incorrect information in various places within the file. 1) There is no NameVirtualHost directive 2) There is no place to specify values for NameVirtualHost directive 3) Duplicate entries are set for TransferLog when specified 4) In directory options, the word 'from' appears twice. eg. 'Allow from from all' 5) The 'Directory Page Search List' is not transferred to the DirectoryIndex directive. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In KDE select Menu->System_Settings->Server-Settings->HTTP_Server 2. Select 'Virtual Host' Tab 3. Select 'Add' to add a virtual host 4. Select 'Name based Virtual host' 5. Complete fields Virtual_Host_Name, Document_root, Webmaster_Email, IP_Address, Server_Host_Name with valid information. 6. Select 'Site_Configuration' from list on left. 7. Add index.html to 'Directory Page Search List' 6. Select OK 7. Select OK 8. Select Yes to save and exit. 9. View errors in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file Actual Results: 1) There is no NameVirtualHost entry 2) Duplicate entries are set for TransferLog when specified 3) In directory options, the word 'from' appears twice. 4) The 'Directory Page Search List' values are not transferred to the DirectoryIndex directive. Expected Results: A valid NameVirtualHost line should specify the IP address of the server. There should not be duplicate entries for TransferLog. Directory options should be correct. Additional info: This bug can be worked around by editing the httpd.conf file manually. May be more serious for persons who are not familliar with httpd.conf files. I give this a PIA factor of 3.
