## httpd.conf -- Apache HTTP server configuration file
##

#
# Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
#
# This is the main Apache server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/> for detailed information about
# the directives.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#
# After this file is processed, the server will look for and process
# /etc/apache/srm.conf and then /etc/apache/access.conf
# unless you have overridden these with ResourceConfig and/or
# AccessConfig directives here.
#
# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
#  1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as
a
#     whole (the 'global environment').
#  2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default'
server,
#     which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
#     These directives also provide default values for the settings
#     of all virtual hosts.
#  3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
#     different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
#     same Apache server process.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "/usr/local/apache" will be interpreted by the
# server as "/usr/local/apache/logs/foo.log".
#

### Section 1: Global Environment
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
#

#
# ServerType is either inetd, or standalone.  Inetd mode is only supported
on
# Unix platforms.
#
ServerType standalone

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept, unless they are specified
# with an absolute path.
#
# NOTE!  If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
# mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation
# (available at <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#lockfile>);
# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
#
# Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.
#
ServerRoot /etc/apache

#
# The LockFile directive sets the path to the lockfile used when Apache
# is compiled with either USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT or
# USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT. This directive should normally be left at
# its default value. The main reason for changing it is if the logs
# directory is NFS mounted, since the lockfile MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL
# DISK. The PID of the main server process is automatically appended to
# the filename.
#
LockFile /var/lock/apache.lock

#
# PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process
# identification number when it starts.
#
PidFile /var/run/apache.pid

#
# ScoreBoardFile: File used to store internal server process information.
# Not all architectures require this.  But if yours does (you'll know
because
# this file will be  created when you run Apache) then you *must* ensure
that
# no two invocations of Apache share the same scoreboard file.
#
ScoreBoardFile /var/run/apache.scoreboard

#
# In the standard configuration, the server will process this file,
# srm.conf, and access.conf in that order.  The latter two files are
# now distributed empty, as it is recommended that all directives
# be kept in a single file for simplicity.  The commented-out values
# below are the built-in defaults.  You can have the server ignore
# these files altogether by using "/dev/null" (for Unix) or
# "nul" (for Win32) for the arguments to the directives.
#
#ResourceConfig /etc/apache/srm.conf
#AccessConfig /etc/apache/access.conf

#
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 10

#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
#
KeepAlive On

#
# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.
#
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100

#
# KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the
# same client on the same connection.
#
KeepAliveTimeout 15

#
# Server-pool size regulation.  Rather than making you guess how many
# server processes you need, Apache dynamically adapts to the load it
# sees --- that is, it tries to maintain enough server processes to
# handle the current load, plus a few spare servers to handle transient
# load spikes (e.g., multiple simultaneous requests from a single
# Netscape browser).
#
# It does this by periodically checking how many servers are waiting
# for a request.  If there are fewer than MinSpareServers, it creates
# a new spare.  If there are more than MaxSpareServers, some of the
# spares die off.  The default values are probably OK for most sites.
#
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10

#
# Number of servers to start initially --- should be a reasonable ballpark
# figure.
#
StartServers 5

#
# Limit on total number of servers running, i.e., limit on the number
# of clients who can simultaneously connect --- if this limit is ever
# reached, clients will be LOCKED OUT, so it should NOT BE SET TOO LOW.
# It is intended mainly as a brake to keep a runaway server from taking
# the system with it as it spirals down...
#
MaxClients 150

#
# MaxRequestsPerChild: the number of requests each child process is
# allowed to process before the child dies.  The child will exit so
# as to avoid problems after prolonged use when Apache (and maybe the
# libraries it uses) leak memory or other resources.  On most systems, this
# isn't really needed, but a few (such as Solaris) do have notable leaks
# in the libraries. For these platforms, set to something like 10000
# or so; a setting of 0 means unlimited.
#
# NOTE: This value does not include keepalive requests after the initial
#       request per connection. For example, if a child process handles
#       an initial request and 10 subsequent "keptalive" requests, it
#       would only count as 1 request towards this limit.
#
MaxRequestsPerChild 100

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, in addition to the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
#Listen 3000
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80

#
# BindAddress: You can support virtual hosts with this option. This
directive
# is used to tell the server which IP address to listen to. It can either
# contain "*", an IP address, or a fully qualified Internet domain name.
# See also the <VirtualHost> and Listen directives.

I didn't bother to look through the relevant parts of the configuration,
because there's other things you need to rule our first.

What port do you run the web server on? Are you sure your provider
doesn't block access to that port (a lot block port 80 so you can't run
a web server on it).

Can you ping the IP from a remote source?

Are you able to get one web site working and accessible via remote
sources, and it's just the two that you have trouble with?

ServerName 'Computer name as defined in /etc/hosts'
UseCanonicalName Off

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName myothersite.dyndns.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/myothersite

    ErrorLog var/log/apache/myothersite-error.log
    CustomLog var/log/apache/myothersite-access.log common
</VirtualHost>

I commented out the other <VirtualHost>.

However, both sites still point to mysite.dyndns.org and display the
index.html file in /var/www/mysite.  If I run /etc/init.d/apache -S to check
the vhosts, I get:

*:80                is a NameVirtualHost
                      default server myothersite.dyndns.org
(/etc/apache/httpd.conf:1009)
                      port 80 namevhost myothersite.dyndns.org
(/etc/apache/httpd.conf:1009)

I'm assuming this means the virtual host is configured correctly?!?!

Finally, in /var/log/apache/error.log, I get:

[error] (2)No such file or directory: mod_mimi_magic: can't read magic file
/etc/apache/share/magic

What is this supposed to mean??  Thanks in advance.

<VirtualHost 'IP address assigned to my router'>
    ServerName mysite.dyndns.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/mysite

    ErrorLog var/log/apache/mysite-error.log
    CustomLog var/log/apache/mysite-access.log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 'IP address assigned to my router'>
    ServerName myothersite.dyndns.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/myothersite

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache/myothersite-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache/myothersite-access.log common
</VirtualHost>

You shouldn't use the IP address of your router. Use the IP address that
your router uses to point to that system. Then configure the router to
forward requests to port 80 to that system.

Make those changes in your Apache configuration too, to point to an IP
on the system.

make sure that IP is bound to that system.

And, before the first occorance, add:

NameVirtualHost systemip:80

Also, on the first occrance, you have:

    ErrorLog var/log/apache/mysite-error.log
    CustomLog var/log/apache/mysite-access.log common

Make sure the logs are /var/log and not var/log. If it can't find the
log file (path) to create the log file in on startup, you'll have
problems.

So, after you've bound the IP and have any local configurations (in
/etc/hosts for example) or DNS to have this a valid IP/domain:

NameVirtualHost serverip:80

<VirtualHost serverip>
    ServerName mysite.dyndns.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/mysite

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache/mysite-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache/mysite-access.log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost serverip>
    ServerName myothersite.dyndns.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/myothersite

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache/myothersite-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log
</VirtualHost>

That looks okay from what you've offered. Also, make sure the main
configuration for the default settings are correct and do not interfere
with the virtual host directives.
