Trying (failing) to create Virtual Hosts - Apache on Novell OES2 (SuSE) Linux

    I've got a couple of Fedora and Red Hat Servers and this is easy to do, but with SuSE, Novell have just made life a living Hell to get anything to work! Whether you call them bugs or ' features' it still drives me crazy.

    As you (hopefully know), accessing the standard Server gives access to goodies like iManager, iFolder etc. I don't want to lose these so decided the easy way (HAH!) would be to create some Virtual Hosts with different names.

    I followed the manual (if you can call it that) and copied the vhosts.template to myvhost.conf.

    I then edited the file as per instructions, and tried to restart apache.

    Now I get a message "Unable to connect" Site is too busy.

    I checked the Error Message

    [Mon Aug 18 14:46:11 2008] [warn] module rewrite_module is already loaded, skipping
    httpd2-prefork: Syntax error on line 202 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 28 of /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/yast2_vhosts.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_php5.conf: No such file or directory


    Soooo, I look for mod_php5.conf and there are NO mod_php anything BUT I found a mod_php5.so in /usr/lib/apache2

    I really DO need PHP4 or 5 but to try to cure the issue, I remmed out the line from the edited .conf file and it makes NO difference.

    I haven't changed anything in the httpd.conf. Here is the contents of the myvhost.conf (obviously real names have been changed)

    #
    # VirtualHost template
    # Note: to use the template, rename it to /etc/apache2/vhost.d/yourvhost.conf.
    # Files must have the .conf suffix to be loaded.
    #
    # See /usr/share/doc/packages/apache2/README.QUICKSTART for further hints
    # about virtual hosts.
    #
    # NameVirtualHost statements can be added to /etc/apache2/listen.conf.
    # NameVirtualHost *:80
    # Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
    # The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
    # server name.
    #
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin xxxxxx@mysite.com
    ServerName myhost.mysite.com

    # DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
    # documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
    # symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
    DocumentRoot /usr/share/www/myhost

    # if not specified, the global error log is used
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error_log
    # CustomLog /var/log/apache2/dummy-host.example.com-access_log combined

    # don't loose time with IP address lookups
    HostnameLookups Off

    # needed for named virtual hosts
    UseCanonicalName Off

    # configures the footer on server-generated documents
    ServerSignature On


    # Optionally, include *.conf files from /etc/apache2/conf.d/
    #
    # For example, to allow execution of PHP scripts:
    #
    Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_php5.conf
    # The above line was showing mod_php4.conf in spite of the fact it isn't on the CD # and is obsolete - Good old Novell!
    #
    # or, to include all configuration snippets added by packages:
    # Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf


    # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
    # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
    # documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
    # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.
    # The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to
    # Alias.
    #
    # ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/cgi-bin/"

    # "/srv/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
    # CGI directory exists, if you have one, and where ScriptAlias points to.
    #
    # <Directory "/srv/www/cgi-bin">
    # AllowOverride None
    # Options +ExecCGI -Includes
    # Order allow,deny
    # Allow from all
    # </Directory>

    # UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's home
    # directory if a ~user request is received.
    #
    # To disable it, simply remove userdir from the list of modules in APACHE_MODULES
    # in /etc/sysconfig/apache2.
    #
    <IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    # Note that the name of the user directory ("public_html") cannot simply be
    # changed here, since it is a compile time setting. The apache package
    # would have to be rebuilt. You could work around by deleting
    # /usr/sbin/suexec, but then all scripts from the directories would be
    # executed with the UID of the webserver.
    UserDir public_html
    # The actual configuration of the directory is in
    # /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf.
    Include /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf
    # You can, however, change the ~ if you find it awkward, by mapping e.g.
    # http://www.example.com/users/karl-heinz/ --> /home/karl-heinz/public_html/
    #AliasMatch ^/users/([a-zA-Z0-9-_.]*)/?(.*) /home/$1/public_html/$2
    </IfModule>


    #
    # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
    #
    <Directory "/usr/share/www/myhost">

    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    # Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
    # http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.2/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    #
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride None

    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

    </Directory>

    </VirtualHost>


    Can anyone help? I feel like I'm bashing my head on a brick wall!
