 Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2014 1:44 pm Post subject: Adding Virtual Host for Zoneminder (Apache Configuration) |
 |
|
Great reference here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-993482-highlight-apache.html
However, since I configured Apache last, it seems to have changed. So at some point, I would like to access this externally. And I would like to follow the appropriate steps to configure an endpoint (I think in the past, I used a common host with many website, eg. 192.168.1.100/mysite_1).
So, looking into setting up a virtual host, here: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Apache#Configuration
.... But the syntax seems to differ from the sample config file that shipped with Zoneminder:
| Code: |
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/zms "/usr/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin/zms"
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/nph-zms "/usr/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms"
<Directory "/usr/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride All
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /zoneminder "/usr/share/zoneminder/www"
<Directory "/usr/share/zoneminder/www">
Options -Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
|
I just copied that to /etc/apache2/vhosts.d and gave the apache user ownership rights.
If I attempt to browse to 192.168.1.100/Zoneminder, I get a Not Found.
Browsing to 192.168.1.100 gives me a 'It works!'
Hopefully an Apache expert can tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks again, everyone, for your help!
This is probably beneficial:

| It looks like the apache user cannot access /usr/libexec/zoneminder/* - make sure it can r+x in that directory. |

| Thank you, yes; this was ultimately a permissions error. |

How?
Do you mean doing:
| Code: | | chown -R apache:apache /usr/libexec/zoneminder/ |
I never understood why the folder /usr/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin[/b. My crude solution was to copy both [b]zms and nph-zms into:
| Code: | | /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/ |
And assumed that virtual host supplied by zoneminder was broken.
Alright, to confirm that apache works, (I am not an expert in apache or web servers), the syntax in virtual host is perfectly legal?
| Code: |
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/zms "/usr/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin/zms"
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/nph-zms "/usr/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms"
<Directory "/usr/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin"> |
Because now I have a mixed of things that are confusing in order to understand how falls into place. As aboved mentioned my virtual host points to a different place but apache is still able to use /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/. How is this possible?
Moreover, both directories seem to have identical permissions.
danke schon!
PS: if so much work and fixing needs to be done after install, isn't this the job of the ebuild? |
