[kforge-user] Trouble with Apache settings

Tue Jan 23 23:08:38 UTC 2007

Hello Rufus,

Thanks for the response!
My first problem was my DNS server wasn't setup with a wildcard entry ... network admin fixed that straight away. As for the second problem, you were exactly correct ... I added the NameVirtualHost directive, but with the IP instead of a *. I updated the IP in kforge.conf and I now see kforge! woohoo!

Now I have another problem though. 
When I log in as admin everything goes ok until I click on a link. I'm immediately prompted to login again?
My guess is that there might be something wrong with my python setup (perhaps a session variable I have set incorrectly in python config?) ... do you have any insight on this?

Thanks for all your help!

Ty

KForge is set up to use named virtual hosts. This is a feature of Apache 
whereby you can run multiple websites with different domain names all on 
the same ip address. Taking a look at the KForge auto-generated http 
configuration you should see something like:

<VirtualHost *:80>

...
</VirtualHost>

NB: if you changed ip_address in your kforge.conf file you will see that 
value instead of *.

Now for this to work you will need somewhere in your basic apache config 
the line:

NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtulaHost *:443

The error you are getting suggests this may not have been set up 
correctly so I'd suggest checking to ensure this is in the apache config 
somewhere where it is loaded before the kforge configuration.
