Joakim Stai	Saturday 29 November 2003 8:19:21 am I've set up Virtual Host successfully, it finally works for me after trying different sollutions found on this forum. This is the Virtual Host part from my Apache 1.3 httpd.conf file, I only changed my original server path and website name to something similar: #-------------------------------------------------------------- # Main server website <Virtualhost :80> <Directory c:/server/> Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI AllowOverride None </Directory> ServerAdmin root@localhost DocumentRoot c:/server/ ServerName www.server.com </Virtualhost> # eZp website <Virtualhost :80> <Directory c:/server/ezpublish/> Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI AllowOverride None </Directory> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule !\.(gif\|css\|jpg\|png\|jar\|js\|html)$ /index.php ServerAdmin root@localhost DocumentRoot c:/server/ezpublish/ ServerName website.server.com </Virtualhost> # eZp website's admin area <Virtualhost *:80> <Directory c:/server/ezpublish/> Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI AllowOverride None </Directory> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule !\.(gif\|css\|jpg\|png\|jar\|js\|html)$ /index.php ServerAdmin root@localhost DocumentRoot c:/server/ezpublish/ ServerName admin.server.com </Virtualhost> #-------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see, the eZp folder is a sub-folder within my server, because I want the eZp website to be accessed by website.server.com, and the main server by www.server.com.

But there I see the error that says "kernel (50) - No database connection could be made, the system might not behave properly." and I can't log in. I use a dynamic DNS (instead of server.com), and somehow I can't access my server using it's DNS address from my own computer. But from another machine on my LAN I can access my server through the internet using the DNS address. Both these machines are behind a router with firewall (with port 80 open for the server machine), could that be the problem? Or is it just a setting in the override, or some other configurational mistake? I appreciate all help I can get, especially from eZ itself. This area is not suficiently covered in the documentation and I was left to find it all out for myself using the forum. Hopefully the eZ crew or somebody else knows how to do it properly :)
Steve Cox	Friday 09 January 2004 3:57:49 pm I have this same problem, I've searched the forum for a solution but there is NOTHING! Plenty of posts regarding problems but no real answers. After spending two days, downloading, installing and printing documentation and another day searching the forum for a solution to the above, I've come to the conclusion that ezpublish is a waste of time becuase the writers & moderators seem to be N.F.I.

One can only assume that help is only available if you buy a developers license. However, based on the level of support (or lack of it) shown in this forum I'd be very worried about buying a license if I was a developer. What a great program!

I've set up Virtual Host successfully, it finally works for me after trying different sollutions found on this forum.

This is the Virtual Host part from my Apache 1.3 httpd.conf file, I only changed my original server path and website name to something similar:

#--------------------------------------------------------------
# Main server website
<Virtualhost *:80>
<Directory c:/server/>
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

ServerAdmin root@localhost
DocumentRoot c:/server/
ServerName www.server.com
</Virtualhost>

# eZp website
<Virtualhost *:80>
<Directory c:/server/ezpublish/>
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule !\.(gif|css|jpg|png|jar|js|html)$ /index.php

ServerAdmin root@localhost
DocumentRoot c:/server/ezpublish/
ServerName website.server.com
</Virtualhost>

# eZp website's admin area
<Virtualhost *:80>
<Directory c:/server/ezpublish/>
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule !\.(gif|css|jpg|png|jar|js|html)$ /index.php

ServerAdmin root@localhost
DocumentRoot c:/server/ezpublish/
ServerName admin.server.com
</Virtualhost>
#--------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see, the eZp folder is a sub-folder within my server, because I want the eZp website to be accessed by website.server.com, and the main server by www.server.com.

This is the only part of my settings/override/site.ini.append.php file that I changed:

#--------------------------------------------------------------
[SiteAccessSettings]
CheckValidity=false
MatchOrder=host
HostMatchType=map
HostMatchMapItems[]=website.server.com;website
HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.server.com;admin
#--------------------------------------------------------------

Everything works great, if I go to www.server.com I get to the server's main website, if I go to website.server.com I get to the eZ publish website, and if I go to admin.server.com I get to the admin login page.

But there I see the error that says "kernel (50) - No database connection could be made, the system might not behave properly." and I can't log in.

I use a dynamic DNS (instead of server.com), and somehow I can't access my server using it's DNS address from my own computer. But from another machine on my LAN I can access my server through the internet using the DNS address. Both these machines are behind a router with firewall (with port 80 open for the server machine), could that be the problem? Or is it just a setting in the override, or some other configurational mistake?
