    Apache2 Virtual Hosts Config - Server taking too long to respond error

    I have configured apache2 on Ubuntu for NameVirtual hosts.

    The default server works fine - couch.klouddb.com.

    The second virtual host does not - www.taintedtitle.com.

    DNS works for both and they both point to the same IP address.

    I can get the index.html file for the virtual host by using the default address as follows:

    http://couch.klouddb.com/taintedtitle/index.html

    When I use www.taintedtitle.com, the browser times out and there are no entries in the error or access logs specific to that virtual host - it is empty.

    I am stumped. Ideas?

    Not sure that solves the problem, as that would presume the server is answering and could then redirect.

    There is no entry in either the access or error log, so I can only assume that the server never sees nor handles the request - thus would not be able to redirect.

    Re: Apache2 Virtual Hosts Config - Server taking too long to respond error

    I have added only one file to the default Apache2 installation, "/etc/apache2/sites-available/taintedtitle.com" and ran "a2ensite taintedtitle.com" and checked that the link is there.

    Contents of "taintedtitle.com"

    -------------------------------------------------------
    ServerName www.taintedtitle.com
    ServerAlias taintedtitle.com *.taintedtitle.com

    DocumentRoot /var/www/taintedtitle

    <Directory /var/www/taintedtitle/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
    </Directory>

    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/taintedtitle.com-access.log combined
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/taintedtitle.com-error.log
    LogLevel debug
    </VirtualHost>
    ------------------------------------------------------------


    Output from "apache2ctl -S"

    -------------------------------------------------------------
    VirtualHost configuration:
    wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
    *:80 is a NameVirtualHost
    default server couchdb.klouddb.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:1)
    port 80 namevhost couchdb.klouddb.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:1)
    port 80 namevhost www.taintedtitle.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/taintedtitle.com:1)
    Syntax OK

    Re: Apache2 Virtual Hosts Config - Server taking too long to respond error

    PROBLEM SOLVED! I had mistyped the DNS address in the Nameserver.

    But I learned to use nc to troubleshoot and here are a few sample commands that were helpful.

    1st, Test the virtualhost on the local machine using the loopback address. Test all the virtual hosts by changing the "Host: " parameter.

    Type:
    nc 127.0.0.1 80
    GET /index.html HTTP/1.1
    Host: www.xyz.com

    Hit return at the blank line and you should get something like this with the contents of your index.html file at the end.

    -----------------------------------
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 23:40:00 GMT
    Server: Apache/2.2.12 (Ubuntu)
    Last-Modified: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 23:59:47 GMT
    ETag: "1a026c-c4-4932952240e03"
    Accept-Ranges: bytes
    Content-Length: 196
    Vary: Accept-Encoding
    Content-Type: text/html
    X-Pad: avoid browser bug

    <html><body><h1>It works!</h1>
    <p>This is the default web page for this server - www.xyz.com.</p>
    <p>The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.</p>
    </body></html>
    --------------------------------------

    Next use the IP address, then the FQDN, and you should get the same results.

    nc 216.38.135.101 80

    then

    nc www.xyz.com 80

    Good luck.

    John
