apache2 web server

[Ian A Taylor]

Marius

Thanks for reply

To answer your questions

/etc/apache2/sites-available/qwert

==================================================================
<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName fffff.st-and.ac.uk/qwert
	ServerAdmin A MAIL ADDRESS

	DocumentRoot /var/www/qwert

	<Directory /var/www/qwert>
		Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews +ExecCGI
		AllowOverride None
		Order deny,allow
		allow from all
	</Directory>

         ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
         LogLevel warn
         CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
====================================================================

2. Do you have anything else in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled?

Yes

  000-default -> ../sites-available/default
  qwert -> ../sites-available/qwert


3. Is there a 'NameVirtualHost *:80' directive (in
      /etc/apache2/ports.conf, IIRC)?

Yes there is
