I've got two extremely strange problems with Apache just now, just wondered if anyone had seen anything like them before.
I have a server with many virtual hosts - however two or three of them are behaving very strangely. The virtual sites are served from users' home directories. Firstly I have a site which is working absolutely perfectly - EXCEPT the "index.cfm" file. For some strange reason, instead of serving the site's own index.cfm, Apache (or BD) is trying to serve the default index.cfm from the default Apache directory. For illustration, the site is in /home/david/websites/www.thissite.com/website/ But is trying to serve index.cfm from /var/www/html (which is the default directory set up in Apache). All other files in the site serve as they should - it's utterly bizarre. BD debugging shows the correct CGI path_info for the file, but the "cf_template_path" variable shows /var/www/html. Most bizarrely, even changing the filename to "index2.cfm" makes it serve properly. The file has no redirects or anything like that. Other CF sites in the same folder, set up in the same way, serve absolutely fine. Secondly, but similar, I have two other sites which aren't behaving properly at all. Again, they serve correctly for the most part, but have a nagging problem. For illustration, the site is in /home/martin/websites/www.thissite.com/website And if you navigate to 'www.thissite.com' then it serves fine. However despite having a ServerAlias of 'thissite.com', it refuses to serve the site from that address. In this case, the CGI path_info seems to change, depending which URL has been typed in. With 'www.thissite.com', the cf_template_path is "/home/martin/websites/www.thissite.com/" but if the URL is plain old "thissite.com" then the cf_template_path is "/home/martin/websites/thissite.com" which doesn't exist. I've never come across anything like this before - the environment is Apache 2.052 on CentOS 4 with BD JX 6.2 and many other sites are working fine - these are just pure exceptions. I've tried changing the ownership of the site directory, changing permissions to 777, everything - I even set up the sites as the only virtual site in Apache and nothing worked. Any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated!
