Apache URL Handling

[kpryan01]

I have purchased a VPS system and I am experiencing a strange problem with virtual Hosting. Any URL of the form [domain-name...] gets directed to /var/lib/tomcat4/server/webapps/admin. Tomcat is not active and I have been through the apache conf files without finding anything wrong.

Does anybody have any ideas? - is this even an Apache problem?

Look for Alias, ScriptAlias, Redirect, RedirectMatch, RewriteCond, and RewriteRule directives that contain the string "admin".

Who set up this VPS? They should know why this happens.

Jim,

I have been back to them once and they referred me to the documentation! Nothing there - I have complained that this makes the system unusable and await their reply.

Per your suggestion I have examined the httpd.conf file and right at the bottom was an include file called: /etc/httpd/conf/mod_jk.conf which contains the lines:

Alias /admin "/var/lib/tomcat4/server/webapps/admin"
<Directory "/var/lib/tomcat4/server/webapps/admin">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

This is obviously the problem but I am not sure of the effects of not including this mod_jk.conf in the Apache setup.

Not much to lose if you don't use Tomcat...

Add a "#" character at the front of that include line, restart the server, and your problem will likely be gone.
