    Can someone please help me figure this out? I have installed and configured cPanel 11 on Fedora 7 following the instructions to the letter.

    When I try to load my web page http://onlinemedia.net.nz I get page stating that I have successfully installed cPanel and that an index page of some sort needs to be put in its place. When I do this I get the same. I have even installed phpBB to see what happens http://onlinemedia.net.nz/forums/ and that is when I get the 404 error.

    Please help as I have been trying to get this sorted for a little over a week now and am at my wits end.

    Thank you in advance:confused::mad::(

    Your website is pointing to a default directory of the server which is /usr/local/apache/htdocs/, so you receive the default cPanel page. You need to check the VirtualHost entry for the domain in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf. Check the DocumentRoot and place the NameVirtualHost entry above the VirtualHost entry of the domain.

    As your site is pointing to the default directory of the server, it is searching the forums directory over there, hence the 404 error.

    Once you resolve the first issue, forums will automatically start working.

    Thank you for your help but......I am having trouble trying to figure out the direct path. I have read the forums and read the documentation from Apache but just cannot figure it out. I realize that this is probably something as simple as adding or deleting a slash or something like that.

    Can someone please help me?

    Cheers:confused:

    This is what I have:


    # DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
    # documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
    # symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
    #
    DocumentRoot /usr/home/public_html
    #

    and

    First of all remove the below entry:
    NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.65:80

    Change the DocumentRoot line from
    DocumentRoot /usr/home/public_html
    to
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/htdocs


    You should use one NameVirtualHost entry for one IP. Just keep the first one. Like, change the below part from

    NameVirtualHost :222.154.251.183:80
    <VirtualHost 222.154.251.183>
    ServerName online.media.net.nz
    DocumentRoot /home/public_html
    </VirtualHost>

    to

    NameVirtualHost 222.154.251.183:80
    <VirtualHost 222.154.251.183>
    ServerName <ServerHostname> << place the server hostname excluding brackets
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/htdocs
    </VirtualHost>


    Also try changing the virtualhost entry for all the domains from
    <VirtualHost 222.154.251.183:80>
    to
    <VirtualHost 222.154.251.183>

    Save the file and restart apache service.

    Thank you so much for your help. Everything is working a charm now. Always something so simple that you don't notice it.

    Thank you again :eek::D

    Speaking of which -- did you notice the comment above saying that Fedora Core 7 is not supported? You may have fixed this problem, this time around, but if it's not supported aren't you asking for trouble down the track?
