Mike,
Thanks for your kind answer :-) I finally figured out the right way
to do it: creating a new application in scalr, and using the same farm
(realized that after reading
http://groups.google.com/group/scalr-discuss/browse_thread/thread/cf23c655e09991a1).
I had a small problem after that, since apache was complaining:
r...@ec2-67-202-49-44:/etc/apache2/sites-available# /etc/init.d/
apache2 restart
* Restarting web server
apache2
apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for
ec2-67-202-49-44.compute-1.amazonaws.com
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified
domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
[Sat Mar 28 20:18:49 2009] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no
VirtualHosts
apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for
ec2-67-202-49-44.compute-1.amazonaws.com
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified
domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
[Sat Mar 28 20:18:59 2009] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no
VirtualHosts
I kept having the same problem: accessing api.cr.am returned cr.am's
content... After struggling for a few hours, I thought that I had to
only leave "NameVirtualHost *" (without the :80), and then define all
virtual hosts like "VirtualHost *" (also without the :80) When I did
that, apache complained again, but with a slight difference:
r...@ec2-67-202-49-44:/etc/apache2/sites-available# /etc/init.d/
apache2 restart
* Restarting web server
apache2
apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for
ec2-67-202-49-44.compute-1.amazonaws.com
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified
domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
[Sat Mar 28 20:25:50 2009] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no
VirtualHosts
apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for
ec2-67-202-49-44.compute-1.amazonaws.com
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified
domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
[Sat Mar 28 20:26:00 2009] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no
VirtualHosts
So there, I realized the api.cr.am.conf was being read before the
default.conf, so I removed the original symlink from sites-enabled,
and re-linked as 001-api.cr.am.conf, and now everything works
perfectly.
Thanks again for your time!
Regards,
markus
