UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Thank you for your time and help! Please if you could look over my settings and see what's going wrong.. I've read so much and tried soooo many things for 1 month now. I'm running: Linux Debian / apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.9-10+lenny2
Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny3 with Suhosin-Patch mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.2 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8g mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0

In case you don't know what Ajaxterm is: http://antony.lesuisse.org/software/ajaxterm/

I'm sure the problem lies in the configs putting into apache2. As Ajaxterm works on http://localhost:8022 & I don't get any errors when loading ajaxterm either. It also works if it reads from one vhost only.

The problem I am having if I make a new vhost file it will:
1) No matter what URL you enter it will show the AjaxTerm page/window
I'm sure this is because of this error: [warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 443, the first has precedence. < So it just ignores the other vhost settings.

If I add the configs to ssl file below existing configs
2) Ajaxterm won't work at all; if I go directly to it's path It produces a page with the top strip only of the ajaxterm window that says: Connection error status: 404

These are the steps I have done:
a2enmod proxy_http
apt-get install ajaxterm
/etc/init.d/ajaxterm start
It replied: Starting web based terminal: ajaxterm
pico /etc/ssh/ssh_config
//uncomment: PasswordAuthentication yes
cd /
mkdir /srv/ajaxterm
cd /srv/ajaxterm
htpasswd -cm /srv/ajaxterm/.htpasswd MyName
typed in pass...

1st: the method of making a new file(as per http://wiki.kartbuilding.net/index.php/Ajaxterm ) (this makes 'entire' site ajaxterm only):
pico /etc/apache2/sites-available/ajaxterm<note this file doesn't exist
In case it matters also note 'my.site' is replacing my actual domain which is in that format of my'.'site'.'org as it's a free dyndns domain

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName ajaxterm.my.site.org
Redirect 301 / https://ajaxterm.my.site.org
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName ajaxterm.my.site.org
HostnameLookups Double
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined env=!dontlog
SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/u" dontlog
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
Loglevel warn
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem

ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
AuthUserFile /srv/ajaxterm/.htpasswd

AuthType Basic
require valid-user

Order Deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8022/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8022/
</VirtualHost>

Then I:
a2ensite ajaxterm
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
reply I get is: Reloading web server config: apache2 [warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 443, the first has precedence
and in apache2 error logs:
[warn] Init: SSL server IP/port conflict:ajaxterm.my.site.org:443 (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ajaxterm:8) vs. my.site.org:443 (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ssl:2)
line 8 would be: <VirtualHost *:443> line 2 would be: <VirtualHost *:443>


2nd method after removing the above, adding to my existing ssl file (this makes ajaxterm not work at all):
pico /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ssl
This is my entire file with configs for ajaxterm as the 2nd virtual host configs (as per http://wiki.kartbuilding.net/index.php/Ajaxterm ):

NameVirtualHost *:443

I have also tried copy over ajaxterm dir to /www/ and with (as per http://bobcares.com/index.php/blog/?p=120):
<virtualhost *:443>
ServerName localhost
