03292007 2015 GMT-6 DST Mike, it took a while but I finally got vhosts working.
So this is what is working. For my current project I have a vhost for basl-ok.org. The permissions for that folder are www-data user & group with 1600777 permissions. I downloaded joomla and extracted to /var/www/public_html/joomla then sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/public_html/joomla that way the web based setup has all green lites. I walked through the setup and at the end when I click View Site - "The requested URL /index.php was not found" It can write to the basl-ok.org folder so I dont know what the problem is now. wade On Thu, 2007-03-15 at 19:17 -0500, Mike Brandonisio wrote: > Hi Wade, > > Short answer then read on: > You do not have a virtual host in the Apache host.conf file that uses > folder /var/www/BASL for it's public root. > > Here is what I know: > > You need the absolute path from the system root to the public apache > folder.
