<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@whateverdomain.com
DocumentRoot "C:\rootstuff"
ServerName servername.com
</VirtualHost>
that works, but lets say I want a specific subdomain of my domain to forward to another site. How would I do that?
I tried:
<VirtualHost http://whateversite.com/siteiwantforwarded:80>
ServerAdmin admin@whateversite
DocumentRoot "http://thesiteIwanttoforwardto.com/"
ServerName servername.com
</VirtualHost>
but apache won’t start when I do this.

To elaborate, I want people to be able to access my own server at www.mysitename.com but if they go to www.mysitename.com/subdirectory then it will forward them without the use of html redirection and display www.theothersite.com’s page (A virtual host mirror)

I’m trying to set up virtual hosts on my local machine running WAMPServer on Windows Vista. I’ve updated my system hosts file and put in the virtul hosts configuration for apache, and thats working ok – but I need PHP to recognise its top directory in these hosts (as referenced by "/") so that I can do require("/includes/foo.bar")

At the moment, "/" goes right to the root of my C drive, virtual hosts or not. I’ve done this before with apache/vhosts but not under wamp server, so what am I forgetting to do / or what have i overlooked?

i hv a personal static ip address on which i am hosting apache. can i also host widows applications on the same server somehow. I dont hv the money to invest on 2 servers. HELP!!

I am hosting my site on top of my windows host using apache.

Or is this an old thing to watch out for ?

I have an old windows 98 computer, with a pentium III processor and less than 1gb of ram. I was thinking about putting linux on it, and using it as a server to host my own websites with apache. Would this work? I don’t have any important files on it or anything. In fact, the hard drive was completely erased a while back.

Via apache how do I host my own website files from my own computer? Not using somebody else’s hosting or server, no dropbox or anything etc. but how do I host it from my own computer? Would I NEED to use Mac OS X Server? Like with Apache, how would I get the link of the IP address so I could go get a domain? Please explain, if I already have ALL of the HTML code files.

Hello all. I do my own web hosting for a few personal websites I run. I’m upgrading my server and am thinking about switching to Linux and running Apache (I currently run Windows 2003, but have an upgrade to Windows Server 2008 through Dreamspark). Since both Linux and Windows server 2008 are free to me, there is no benefit to Linux other than it will be a little more secure and less vulnerable (yes it is legit because Microsoft gives free software to students through Dreamspark). The only thing is that Apache doesn’t have a GUI and I’d like to use a GUI interface. Also, I’d like to host numerous websites with the one server (IIS does this without a problem, not sure about Linux though). Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
They are personal, non-commercial websites.

I’m really new to all of this. I have an idea and I’m having a hard time figuring things out on how to do it.

I need a review and star rating system on my website. I’m using webplus x4 to build my website. but unfortunately it doesn’t support what I need. So I browsed the net and found some scripts that could be purchased, one of the best designs I found was the "Crowd Vox Review Script" but the script needs some things to be on my hosting server, such as (MySQL (version 4 or above), PHP (version 5 or above), Ioncube Loaders, Apache Mod_Rewrite Enabled, Support for cron jobs). So what I would like to know is, is it possible to work that script on your web hosting (fatcow) system? and if NOT, could you please lead me to a review script with comments and 5 star rating system that actually works?

hi all
i have a simple php form that worked fine with my old hosting server ,

now i updated my hosting to godaddy (cuz they are cheaper) but after the update, my form doesn’t work anymore .

I mean the code is 100% right (cuz it worked fine before).
Everytime my visitors click the submit button (after they entered their information) a "thank you for submission page appear" but when i check my email (and spam email) nothing actually reach.

i tried to use an email related to my domain like contact@MyDomain.com , but this didn’t fix it 2.

my server operating system is WINDOWS (not linux) and i am using IIS Server (not apache) , anyway it supports php just fine and all works good but the mailto() function.

any suggestions ? tips maybe ? helpful links and sources ?

anything would be appreciated , i’ve been with this problem already few weeks and i am really getting tired of this.

godaddy support team keep saying that its gotta be something related to code and they have nothing to do with it
