Hi,
I've just done a long-overdue refresh on my VPS. One of the packages
upgraded was Apache, to version 2.4-25. It appears the syntax of the
site conf files has changed since the last version I was running and all
is not totally "well on the farm."
I have two IP addresses bound to the server.
I am trying to achieve:
* Running a number of different web sites on domains I own, each with
its own folder on the filesystem.
* These websites are spread across HTTP a (80) and HTTPS (443) on both
IP addresses.
* I want separate conf files for each site to make taking them up and
down and reconfiguring easy.
* I want Apache to recognise which site to serve from the URL, rather
than the IP address.
* I want to be able to serve different sites from different folders on
some subdomains e.g. example.com serves one site and
mail.example.com serves another.
I've searched online and most of the examples I have found seem to work
on older versions of Apache, not on 2.4. Right now, it's "sort of"
working with most things OK but some URLs serving the wrong site so I'm
pretty sure I've got something wrong.
I would be really grateful if someone who is competent with Apache would
give me an example of how I should be crafting my conf files to make
sure everything is being done properly.
Many thanks,
Paul.

New subject: Apache 2.4 site conf files
Fixed typo in subject line. It's one of those days...

I think it would be best if you showed us a URL which doesn't behave
how you want, the relevant config file for that URL, and told us
what you expected it to do instead.
Cheers,

I'm not an Apache wizard, but I found the following two URLs helped me
with changing my configuration for 2.4:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/upgrading.html
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/migrating-your-apache-conf…
The main points I had to deal with were renaming my configuration files
to end in ".conf", and replacing: "Order allow,deny
Allow from all" with "Require all granted" (or, for the opposite,
"Require all denied").
I have two IP addresses bound to the server.
I am trying to achieve:
* Running a number of different web sites on domains I own, each
with its own folder on the filesystem.
This should be the same as for 2.2.
* These websites are spread across HTTP a (80) and HTTPS (443) on
both IP addresses.
* I want Apache to recognise which site to serve from the URL,
rather than the IP address.
My 'ports.conf' has the following entries:
Listen 80
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
Listen 443 https
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
Listen 443 https
</IfModule>
I think I had to add the 'https' to each line that had '443' to make it
work.
For each virtual host you will probably want the entry to start:
<VirtualHost *:80> or <VirtualHost *:443> to match any IP address
(you'll need a block for each to make it work for both, unless someone
can suggest a clever way to do it all in one virtualhost entry).
As long as your VirtualHost has a statement giving the ServerName (and,
for any alternate names, ServerAlias), this should work.
(As a side note, if you are using Certbot for your SSL certificates you
will only want one VirtualHost entry per conf file or it will not
recognise that site).
* I want separate conf files for each site to make
taking them up
and down and reconfiguring easy.
This should be the same as for 2.2.
* I want to be able to serve different sites from different folders
on some subdomains e.g. example.com serves one site and
mail.example.com serves another.
Again, I don't think the syntax for this has changed in 2.4, unless you
were doing something clever (perhaps with macros?).
I hope that is of some help to you. You might need to provide a
(suitably anonymised) copy of your virtualhost setup so that we can
advise further.
Thanks
Gavin
