Trying to access to a virtual host

Question

I'm getting this error:

[Thu Nov 10 17:53:58 2011] [error] [client 95.240.108.197] File does not exist: /var/www/aib/web/aib

I don't know why it's looking for that file. I expected it looks for /var/www/aib/web/app.php.

This is my virtual-host configuration:

<VirtualHost 173.203.58.251:80>
  ServerName tirengarfio
  DocumentRoot "/var/www/aib/web"
  DirectoryIndex app.php

  ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/aib.localhost-error.log"
  CustomLog "/var/log/apache2/aib.localhost-access.log" common
  TransferLog "/var/log/apache2/aib.localhost-transfer.log"

  <Directory "/var/www/aib/web">
    AllowOverride All
    Allow from All
  </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Any idea?

Without seeing the URL you are trying to load, it's a bit difficult to narrow down the cause.

I usually see these type of errors when Apache is trying to load a directory as if it's a file.

In your case, it looks like Apache thinks /var/www/aib/web/aib is a file, not a directory. This means the URL trying to be loaded is incorrect. Usually missing the trailing '/'.

To hit /var/www/aib/web/app.php you have to point your browser to http://tirengarfio/app.php

If you want apache to use app.php as the default index page you have to adjust your DirectoryIndex setting.
