Hosting separate web2py application and PHP application on same apache fedora server

[sonu kumar]

I am running one web2py application on fedora webserver. Now I would like to run one PHP application on this same server, but I am not able to configure its httpd.conf file.

At the moment my web2py application setting in httpd.conf file is below in black and red is for my PHP application but not able to access PHP application from web but web2py application running fine:

First thing that jumps at me is the "Deny from all" directive in your PHP vhost... The other things I notice are the typos: you have catdb subdomain, catpdb document root and caspdb directory. At least one of those is a clear typo.

Apache logs are quite helpful with these stuff.

I just corrected all typos and deleted "Deny from all" and also added

ErrorLog /data/www/html/caspdb/error_log

but still not working as well as nothing is written in error_log file

[LightDot]

So what is the error you get? Apache should either complain at server restart or you should be able to see at least some error description when you attempt to open the page.

Also, I assume you have PHP configured outside of this vhost and enabled server-wide? Are you using mod_fcgid or..?

[sonu kumar]

When I open my catdb application on web it says browser could not find...

there is one php.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/

my php application is totally independent of web2py application...

[LightDot]

Browser could not find... means exactly that. That might not be an apache error at all...

If your domain / subdomain names are correct, than you're missing DNS entries for either caspdb or cleav subdomains. They might work locally if you've put them in /etc/hosts, but they most certainly won't resolve over the internet.

Before worrying about how your PHP is set up, you need to get to the point when your index.php is either executed or you see the text contents...

That being said, this is not really connected with web2py in any way.

Thanks a lot..

now it is working..

I thought it wasn't recommended to run php on a multi-threaded (MPM) apache?

edit: Ah, based on the mod_wsgi config it looks like you are using pre-fork.
