Configuring Ports.conf to Run Bugzilla on Apache2

Question

Using a guest VM with Ubuntu, I modified /etc/apache2/ports.conf to listen on port 8010.

After starting mysql and apache2, I went to http://localhost:8010/bugzilla, however I got a 404 error.

I think that my ports.conf is set up correctly since I see a 404 error, "The requested URL /bugzilla was not found on this server" shows up on localhost on port 8010 from the host machine.

Please check out my ports.conf and advise me.

ports.conf

NameVirtualHost *:8010
Listen 8010

#<VirtualHost *:8010>
#DocumentRoot /bugzilla
ServerName bugzilla
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

# Other directives here

#</VirtualHost>

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
    # If you add NameVirtualHost *:443 here, you will also have to change
    # the VirtualHost statement in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
    # to <VirtualHost *:443>
    # Server Name Indication for SSL named virtual hosts is currently not
    # supported by MSIE on Windows XP.
    Listen 443
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
    Listen 443
</IfModule>

Answer 1

you mix too many concepts: port management and DocumentRoot definition.

Here Apache does not find the directory bugzilla in your actual DdocumentRoot. It's not a probleme of port.

Often the documentRoot is in /var/www then bugzilla should be here ; regarding your actual configuration.

edit :

to manage the CGI you will need to add this in your httpd.conf

<Directory /var/www/html/bugzilla/>
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +Indexes +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
AllowOverride Limit
</Directory>

the better way is to make a dedicated virtualhost otherwise if you crash your apache config ; every service will be down.
