It seems that Apache needs configuration? specifically the documentroot? Is that required?
localhost ~ # localhost ~ # localhost ~ # localhost ~ # cat /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf ### 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-2.0/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 # # 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] # DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com # ServerName dummy-host.example.com # ErrorLog @rel_logfiledir@/dummy-host.example.com-error_log # CustomLog @rel_logfiledir@/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common #</VirtualHost> # # The First Virtual Host is also your DEFAULT Virtual Host. # This means any requests that do not match any other vhosts will # goto this virtual host. # <IfDefine DEFAULT_VHOST> <VirtualHost *:80> # # DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your # documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but # symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations. # DocumentRoot "/var/www/localhost/htdocs" # # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to. # <Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs"> # # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All", # or any combination of: # Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews # # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All" # doesn't give it to you. # # The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see # http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options # for more information. # Options Indexes FollowSymLinks # # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files. # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride None # # Controls who can get stuff from this server. # Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> <IfModule peruser.c> # this must match a Processor ServerEnvironment apache apache # these are optional - defaults to the values specified in httpd.conf MinSpareProcessors 4 MaxProcessors 20 </IfModule> <IfModule itk.c> # The userid and groupid this VirtualHost will run as AssignUserID apache apache # Optional: A separate MaxClients for the VirtualHost, # to limit the maximum number of processes MaxClientsVHost 50 # Note that if you do not assign a user ID for your # VirtualHosts, none will be assigned by default, # ie. you'll run as root.
