apache error .. vhosts and access

[edhunter]

Hello guys
I have a little problem with apache 2.2

I just added a vhost and i access it corectly with www browser, but I dont understand why everytime i open it I got error logged in httpd-error.log

[Sat Jul 19 03:53:19 2008] [error] [client ip.add.re.ss] client denied by server configuration: /usr/home/ed/wwwgeo/.htaccess

my httpd.conf is almost default, I have only changed default options -indexes, real servername, listen port ... and such things... no vhosts in main file.
For vhosts I have one file in /usr/local/etc/Includes/. Here it is.

NameVirtualHost *:88

### <--- main virtual host!

<VirtualHost *:88>
ServerName test.pulsar.bg
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/pulsar/
    <Directory /usr/local/www/pulsar/>
        allow from all
        allowoverride all
        ###Options +FollowSymLinks -indexes
    </Directory>
    php_admin_flag register_globals on
    php_admin_flag allow_url_fopen off
    php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on
    php_flag display_errors off
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^test.pulsar.bg [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^$
    RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://test.pulsar.bg:88/$1 [L,R]
    LogLevel emerg
#    CustomLog /usr/local/www/log/httpd-pulsar-access.log "combined"
    php_value post_max_size 100M
    php_value upload_max_filesize 100M

    Alias /geo /home/ed/wwwgeo
    <Directory /home/ed/wwwgeo>
        AllowOverride All
        Order Allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

#### end of main virtual host! --->

<VirtualHost *:88>
ServerName pulsartest.game-host.org
    DocumentRoot /usr/home/ed/wwwgeo
    <Directory "/usr/home/ed/wwwgeo">
        Allow from all
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

here is file that makes wwwgeo "indexable" /usr/home/ed/wwwgeo/.htaccess

Options +Indexes

Actually when i open in my browser http://pulsartest.game-host.org:88 directory is visible (thats what i want) but error is logged. It is not a big pain but it is annoying.
After a few hours of reading and experimentig I dont see where i am wrong. Need help.
10x in advance

What on this line in the main httpd:

#Virtual hosts
#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

And post the: /usr/home/ed/wwwgeo/.htaccess --- file

This rewrite rule isn't working:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^test.pulsar.bg [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://test.pulsar.bg:88/$1 [L,R]

[edhunter]

in main httpd.conf is commented

# Virtual hosts
#Include etc/apache22/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

the rewrite rule is working for main host... anyway it is not connected to the problem

about .htaccess I have posted it
here it is again

Options +Indexes

"my httpd.conf is almost default, I have only changed default options -indexes, real servername, listen port ... and such things... no vhosts in main file.

And you have :

# Virtual hosts
#Include etc/apache22/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Anyway Try:

<VirtualHost *:88>
ServerName pulsartest.game-host.org
DocumentRoot /usr/home/ed/wwwgeo
<Directory "/usr/home/ed/wwwgeo">
RewriteEngine On
Options FollowSymLinks
Options All
AllowOverride All
Allow from alll
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

[edhunter]

I tried it ...
no change ... I can open the site but again error is logged

[Sat Jul 19 19:29:08 2008] [error] [client 77.70.66.90] client denied by server configuration: /usr/home/ed/wwwgeo/.htaccess

[hunteronline]

Let's move from the <Directory> Container:

<VirtualHost *:88>
ServerName pulsartest.game-host.org
DocumentRoot /usr/home/ed/wwwgeo

RewriteEngine On
Options FollowSymLinks

<Directory "/usr/home/ed/wwwgeo">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

[edhunter]

done...
same result - the page opens, but error is still logged:

[Sat Jul 19 19:39:31 2008] [error] [client 77.70.66.90] client denied by server configuration: /usr/home/ed/wwwgeo/.htaccess

i dont thing that rewrite engine has a mess with the problem ...

[hunteronline]

Run this:

/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -S

[edhunter]

[root@test /usr/local/etc/apache22]# httpd -S
VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
*:88                   is a NameVirtualHost
         default server test.pulsar.bg (/usr/local/etc/apache22/Includes/wwwpulsarbg.conf:7)
         port 88 namevhost test.pulsar.bg (/usr/local/etc/apache22/Includes/wwwpulsarbg.conf:7)
         port 88 namevhost pulsartest.game-host.org (/usr/local/etc/apache22/Includes/wwwpulsarbg.conf:78)
Syntax OK

(It's been a long day)

How has game-host.org been configured to redirect pulsartest.game-host.org to your server?

[edhunter]

:>>

pulsartest.game-host.org is registered as a host at www.dyndns.org to point to ip 78.142.42.147

[hunteronline]

213.130.70.6 = [ pulsar.bg ]

[edhunter]

yep but what is the connection
78.142.42.42 has been registered at more than one dns servers:>
213.130.70.6 too

[hunteronline]

This has nothing to do with Apache.

[cajunman4life]

What the the DocumentRoot set for in httpd.conf... and I mean for the main Apache config, not for your vhost defined above.

Reason I ask is because if your main DocumentRoot is set to something and you set a vhost oustide of that, you might have problems

[edhunter]

yep outside is...

DocumentRoot "/usr/local/www/apache22/data"

[cajunman4life]

Just for kicks, set it to /usr/home, restart apache, and see what you get.

I keep all my hosts on a /www filesystem, so an example...

Main DocumentRoot is /www

DocumentRoot for vhosts is /www/<username>/<url>

[edhunter]

I tried it ... no difference ... error is still logged

[hunteronline]

pulsartest.game-host.org isn't yours and you don't control it. Why are you using it in the Vhost file? What is the hostname of the server?

[edhunter]

pulsartest.game-host.org is mine
game-host.org is not
hostname of the server is test.pulsar.bg

from rc.conf

hostname="test.pulsar.bg"
ifconfig_vr0="inet 78.142.42.147/28"
