WampServer

This JUST started and I don't understand, I have three websites that are online with WAMP, I have
minecraft1.ez.lv
madnessentertainment.na.tl
and
epicraft.it.cx

the the minecraft and epicraft ones work fine but for some reason the MadnessEntertainment site won't load... so i Checked my error logs and this was the most recent log...

[Sat Jul 28 20:52:49 2012] [error] [client 174.36.1.108] client denied by server configuration: C:/wamp/www/madnessentertainment/

What is this supposed to mean and how can i fix this???? is there a limit of websites you can host on WAMP?

well its saying that IP address cannot access the server.

you probably need to left click wamp icon > put online

of course there is NO limit

my webserver is online i told you that all the other websites will load except this one...!!! what do i do??

That sort of problem is normally to do with access rules in either the httpd.conf or the vhost definition file if you have setup vhosts.

Check both files for this sort of parameter

<Directory "C:/wamp/www/madnessentertainment">
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
# Could need changing to
#Allow from all
</Directory>

Check the ones that work and see if you need to add/change a definition for the folder that thinks it is not allowed to be accessed from the outside world

my httpd.conf doesnt have anything about my websites on it and the data in my vhosts file looks like this

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.madnessentertainment.na.tl
ServerAlias madnessentertainment.na.tl madnessentertainment
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/madnessentertainment
ErrorLog "C:/wamp/www/madnessentertainment/logs/error.log"
CustomLog "C:/wamp/www/madnessentertainment/logs/access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.minecraft1.ez.lv
ServerAlias minecraft1.ez.lv domain
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/minecraft1
ErrorLog "C:/wamp/www/minecraft1/logs/error.log"
CustomLog "C:/wamp/www/minecraft1/logs/access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.epicraft.it.cx
ServerAlias epicraft.it.cx domain
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/epicraft
ErrorLog "C:/wamp/www/epicraft/logs/error.log"
CustomLog "C:/wamp/www/epicraft/logs/access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

there isn't any of that allow stuff in either of those files..

your right that is odd.


Things I would try:
1. Check for spelling mistakes in directory names, but thats obvious I expect you tried that already.

2. Move the VirtualHost madness definition to the end, does it still have problems? Does another site now fail?

3. Have you created the logs folder on the madness site, apache wont!

4. Copy a the epicraft vh def and change every epicraft to madnessentertainment see if that remove the woops. It has to be a woops.


Just a Note:
Placing your log files under the docroot folder makes then potentially visible to your site visitors. It normal to put them outside the docroot area to protect them.

none of these worked...

however i have figured out my problem.. what it was was this..


<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.madnessentertainment.na.tl
ServerAlias madnessentertainment.na.tl madnessentertainment
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/madnessentertainment
ErrorLog "C:/wamp/www/madnessentertainment/logs/error.log"
CustomLog "C:/wamp/www/madnessentertainment/logs/access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

in this code right next to server alias, i put madnessentertainment where the word Domain should have gone..
this is what caused the site not to load... lol it was my stupid mistake..

Ok great,

Can you point me at what domain means in the manual??? I dont think it means anything!

Come to that I dont know what the
ServerAlias madnessentertainment.na.tl madnessentertainment
highlighted bit is actually achieving

maybe you meant to do a
ServerAlias madnessentertainment.na.tl *.madnessentertainment.na.tl
which would remove the need to use the www subdomain on an address

As it stands "madnessentertainment" has no tld and therefore doesnt mean anything ( or so I believe )

Always willing to learn.

it only means something locally

im not following any of this issue. I think your looking at the wrong thing.

its not possible that all site are set up the same one is showing this error - the error is being caused by something else
