Apache config virtualHost issue

[Kevin Barkema]

Company is hosting two websites from an AS400 using php and net.data Call them companyA and companyB. companyB website is rarely used but I notice when it calls a php program it is actually grabbing the companyA version of the php program instead of its own. I assume there is a problem with the configuration of the virtual hosts specifically the rewriterule(s) but I am not finding it. I would be the first to admit I know little to nothing about this, I think this thing was copied from something else and it basically worked so nobody messed with it.

Below I have pasted the configuration sections that I think is causing the problem.

<VirtualHost *:80>
ProxyPreserveHost On
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^.+\.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) [127.0.0.1:8000...] [P]
ProxyPassReverse / [127.0.0.1:8000...]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRACE
RewriteRule .* - [F]
ServerName www.companya.com

ServerAlias companya.com *.companya.com

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>

What's the significance here? Typo, or are you really closing and immediately re-opening the same envelope? I'd worry about Unintended Consequences due to things being done in a different order than you expected.

Your problem is the scriptalias lines. You need to set them up for the 2 virtual hosts so instead of the line:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/db2www/ /qsys.lib/netdata.lib/db2www.pgm/

use something like
# coma host
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/db2www/ /var/www/coma/cgi-bin/php-cgi

#comb host
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/db2www/ /var/www/comb/cgi-bin/php-cgi

of course you can set up the right locations that have the php cgi.

the php programs are in the same directory as the html that is trying to reference it so I am confused as to why it is not being found.

I understand why the scriptalias is used for the cgi stuff because that is in a different area of the server.

Seems to me if test.html is calling mytest.php and both the html and php are in the same directory it would call the correct php.

I don't know a lot about this obviously, thanks for reading and offering input.

Is there an entry in the error_log of apache that perhaps shows more info for the path with the script?

[Kevin Barkema]

logs don't have much of anything in them. Is there a setting I can change to log more information? I looked in those in the past figuring it would show me the failed path and that might give a big clue.

[enigma1]

Put in each of the virtualhost sections

CustomLog /var/www/webserver/websites/coma/logs/access_log combined
ErrorLog /var/www/webserver/websites/coma/logs/error_log

Just use a different and valid path for each vhost. See if there is something logged afterwards.

Are the error logs set to debug level? Apache's examples are, ahem, not fantastically useful if you don't speak fluent Apache. But even I understand the part about "adjusts the verbosity":

[httpd.apache.org...]

(note fragment link to #loglevel which may be eaten by these Forums). The default is "warn"; "debug" is three steps beyond that. "I am now approaching the server. I am now knocking on the door. mod_firstinline is now asking to see my ID." And so on.
