Description Chris Jenkinson 2005-05-14 12:39:26 UTC

When enabling the dynamic vhosting, in apache 2.0.54-r4, by uncommenting the line "Include vhosts/dynamic-vhosts.conf", and uncommenting and changing the appropriate lines in vhosts/dynamic-vhosts.conf, all pages accessed on the web server give 403 errors. The only site which loads is http://localhost/.

In /var/www/, there are different directories corresponding to domain names (e.g. /var/www/starglade.org/, /var/www/chimaera.starglade.org/).

I forgot to mention that the dynamic vhosting setup worked perfectly before upgrading to apache-2.0.54-r4.

2.0.54-r4 was a new-style ebuild (it's no longer in the tree as there have been
a few revbumps)

in new-style, only necessary modules are enabled by default.
you will need to (at least) uncomment the mod_vhost_alias module, and possibly
tweak how your dynamic vhosts are defined to work with new-style.
