httpd.include NOT modified when vhost.conf changed !

[kadoudal]

I have a subdomain svn.aelmat.com, the virtual host is defined in :
/var/www/vhosts/aelmat.net/subdomains/svn/conf/vhost.conf

as follows :

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName svn.aelmat.net

ServerAdmin [email protected]

<Directory /var/lib/svn/aelmat>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None

Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.svn.aelmat.net.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.svn.aelmat.net.log combined

<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNPath /var/svn/aelmat

# Access control policy
AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/apache2/aelmat_svn_access.rules

# only authenticated users may access the repository

AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_aelmat_svn.passwd
<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>

</LimitExcept>
</Location>

</VirtualHost>

I run the command :
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -r --vhost-name=svn
and restart Apache
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

BUT

/var/www/vhosts/aelmat.net/conf/httpd.include

is NOT modified

why the modification is not performed by Plesk ???

thansk for your lights ...

It seems right... u have the subdomain defined there... I have tried to setup manualy a subdomain ip, and works only till i add a new subdomain. Then, the httpd.include will automatically modify the ips.

 

[kadoudal]

That's why I worry about..

it seems right.. but the httpd.include is created/updated only when I create/delete subdomains

It get never modified when I insert a virtual host definition in the subdomain vhost.conf ... then the httpd.include is not modified.....

seems none is using virtual hosts with Plesk ???

 

[mariusc]

Depends on what httpd.include are u looking.
For example, the httpd.include for domain macosoft.ro on my server (suse 10.0 with plesk 8.2) is on /srv/www/vhosts/macosoft.ro/conf/httpd.include

 

[kadoudal]

yes, this is the equivalent http.include file on my Debian server....

I am close to get rid of my Plesk licence this month, and reinstall my box without it... as it doesn't run at it should and (even more) as they write in their manual !!!

Support from Plesk cost a fortune...so I am giving up

Hi,

Yes, "Include vhost.conf" directive is not being added to http.include autmatically. To rebuild all your httpd.include files you should run the following command:
PLESK_PRODUCT_ROOT_DIR/admin/bin/websrvmng -v -a

This command will rebuild httpd.include for all domains (it can also be used to rebuild configuration for a specific domain, use it with --help option to get more info) and will restart apache so that changes in configuration would take place.
When you run this command it also checks if there is vhost.conf in directory with httpd.include for every domain. If there is vhost.conf it will place "Include vhost.conf" in httpd.include.

I guess you should use SWsoft knowledgebase a little more.
Searching by keyword vhost.conf I found several articles which explain how this works:
http://kb.swsoft.com/en/432
http://kb.swsoft.com/en/437

And in one of them I even found a link to Plesk admninistrator guide chapter with brief explanation of how this should be done:
http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk8.1/Doc/plesk-8.1-unix-administrators-guide/17359.htm

You should give a try to reviewing documentation and searching knowledge base in case of any problems rather than giving up so fast

 

[kadoudal]

You wrote, and you're right...

This command will rebuild httpd.include for all domains (it can also be used to rebuild configuration for a specific domain, use it with --help option to get more info) and will restart apache so that changes in configuration would take place.

but I mentionned in my post :

I run the command : /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -r --vhost-name=svn and restarted Apache

so that's why I worry about it....
I also tried /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -v -a

but the svn vhost.conf modification were not put into the http.include...

so, the problem is somewhere else...
if the vhost.conf for the subdomain svn was wrong.... apache will get angry...
so it's not even read...

you're right, the doc is ok ( I read it...) but the behaviour is not as it is written..

btw did you ever wrote a subdomain vhost.conf I could use as a template ?
maybe mine are wrongly written... the one in my previous post

I did not give up actually.. I was upset

 

[breun]

The contents of vhost.conf are not actually put into the httpd.include, httpd.include should just have a line that includes the contents, for instance:

Include /var/www/vhosts/example.com/conf/vhost.conf

The websrvmng command should append this line into the httpd.include file. That's all.

 

[kadoudal]

thanks

I found this line working on a small example_app .. it's working

I'll try again with my app

 

[breun]

Note that you shouldn't need to add that line to the httpd.include file yourself, running /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -a -v (or the equivalent for just the domains you created a vhost.conf file for) should take care of that.

Can't make subdomains with different IPs

How can i set a subdomain on my server and to set a different IP? (not that the website have).

On same machine I run cstrike servers, and I have other IP's for that. So, I need subdomains for ranking, and there I need the ips of respective servers, hosted on same machine.

Any ideea?

 

[breun]

You can create a new domain and use the full subdomain as the domainname, then you can run that on a different IP. Or if the hosting for that subdomain is on another machine you can just add an A record for that subdomain and point that to the other machine's IP address.
