I’m trying to get my virtual hosts to work on Apache. I followed the tutorials here on this website, but for some reason both my domain names keep going to the standard Apache page instead of their own folders. I disables the 000-default.conf and enabled my own.
Here are my two configuration files:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin info@insiteweb.xyz
ServerName insiteweb.xyz
ServerAlias www.insiteweb.xyz
DocumentRoot /var/www/insiteweb.xyz/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin info@moviezzz.nl
ServerName moviezzz.nl
ServerAlias www.moviezzz.nl
DocumentRoot /var/www/moviezzz.nl/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Inside the folders /var/www/moviezzz.nl/public_html and /var/www/insiteweb.xyz/public_html are both an index.html file. Yet I stil get send to the standard " It works !
If you’re seeing this page via a web browser, it means you’ve setup Tomcat successfully. Congratulations!" page of apache.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?

I think you’re right that I have to do the redirection on Tomcat. Your code still gives a 404 and the link changes to http://insiteweb.xyz/insite-1.5.1.RELEASE. When I try the redirect without /insite-1.5.1.RELEASE it works, but it only goes to the regular Tomcat page.
For the redirect on Tomcat, do I have to set a redirect in the index.jsp of ROOT or is there another better way?

@hansen Ok, I will use copying in the future.
And it’s a new droplet so I can reinstall it. You mean rebuild to Ubuntu 16.04 Base Image?
@hansen With that command I’m getting this: https://gyazo.com/3b709fa5f449ad5cfd54cf42c9ec82bc
@martijnjansen I’ll start a new thread, since we maxed out the other one.
I would recommend that you run Apache publicly (*:80) and then do a reverse proxy to Tomcat (which will be running on a local port - let’s say 127.0.0.1:8080). That way your visitors don’t have to use a special port to access Tomcat, but will actually access Apache, which would just relay/proxy the connection to Tomcat. You only need to have Tomcat for WAR, so you’ll only use it for that.
@hansen @Woet ,
Thanks for the @ tip, I’m fairly new here.
You were right, Tomcat was still running so I stopped it. I’m getting another message now when I try to go to the website’s “ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED”. It says the website is unavailable. The error.log shows the following:
https://gyazo.com/ba99adf2fa685f31ed585bb14bb5d9cb
Btw this is in the folder apache2, because the folder apache doesn’t exist for me.
Hi @martijnjansen I’m not sure why you’re seeing something about Tomcat, since that’s a Java web server, so I think you have both Tomcat and Apache running at the same time. Can you run this
tail -50 /var/log/apache/error.logand paste that? Remember to use the @ symbol to make sure to notify people about your response.The host files are located in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ I enabled them so now they’re also in sites-enabled. I did restart apache, always do after a change.
The command shows the following: https://gyazo.com/b001e7e2b96158a2233808c687f8e3f6
Where are your vhost files located? Did you restart apache? What does
apache2ctl -Sshow?
