Virtualhost cannot access Admin site

Saturday 22 April 2006 5:10:37 am

Hi,

My site is installed on a virtual host but I can not modify the httpd.config on the apache server because I don't have a dedicated server and my provider cannot do it.

I have done the following changes to remove the index.php. My site works fine but I can not access to my admin site. I completly deleted the cache but nothing change.

<b>.htaccess</b>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|css|js|html)|var(.+)storage.pdf(.+)\.pdf$ index.php

DirectoryIndex index.php

settings/override<b>site.ini.append.php</b>

[SiteAccessSettings]
ForceVirtualHost=true
CheckValidity=false
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=mysite
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=admin
MatchOrder=host
HostMatchMapItems[]=www.mydomain.com;mysite
HostMatchMapItems[]=www.admin.mydomain.com;admin

settings/admin<b>site.ini.append.php</b>

[SiteSettings]
SiteName=admin
SiteURL=www.admin.mydomain.com
LoginPage=custom

I have created the sub domain to access the admin interface but I obtained a 500 Internal error.

I tried many things but I still can not access my admin site.

Hope someone can help me. Thanks.

Hi André,

Thank you for your answer.

I found another way. I put

MatchOrder=host;uri

and I defined the directory in the site.ini.append.php as admin like this the system does ignore my previous cache that I can't clean up.

[FileSettings]
VarDir=var/admin

It might help someone because at the end it works without httpd.config modification.

Thanks again.

If you have settings like:

HostMatchMapItems[]=mydomain.com;mysite
HostMatchMapItems[]=www.mydomain.com;mysite
HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.mydomain.com;admin
HostMatchMapItems[]=www.admin.mydomain.com;admin

You will not be able to enter the admin site without proper dns setup,
menaing you'll have to set admin.mydomain.com to point to the ez folder.
If you are using windows 2000/xp, you can change your
windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file using notepad:

include the line:

127.0.0.1       admin.mydomain.com

Change the ip to the server you are using!
But you'll also have to get your provider to include admin.mydomain.com to point to your ez installation.

PS: The reason that you can access your mysite is probably this:

[SiteSettings]
DefaultAccess=mysite
