Help needed with Apache

[daktau]

Hi,
I have a problem that I think arose after installing an update for apache.

If I access localhost I see:-

Index of /
[ICO]NameLast modifiedSizeDescription
Apache/2.2.12 (Ubuntu) Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 80

if I access localhost/**anything else here** I see a page with index.php on it and nothing else.

The virtual hosts do not work at all either.

Can anyone explain what is occuring here?

thank you,
George.

What version did you upgrade from?

[daktau]

I have checked /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log and can only find reference to apache2.2

Does this mean that it is down to the config file?

[daktau]

I would like to completely remove apache2 and start again so as to overcome my problems.

Is this good way to go?

Also, if I am setting up virtual hosts on my machine which will be serving them up locally to itself then what is the best way to acheive this? I have read many threads and am confused by the array of options. Before, I have successfully used /etc/hosts to list the virtual host names but have become unstuck in setting up the different conf files.

I am now receiving the following error that I cannot fix which is why I want to reinstall apache2.

(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

thank you,
George.

I managed to solve the problem.
In desperation\fustration I commented out the line

Listen 80

in ports.conf

Th error no longer appears and I have everything running as I expect it to.
