I’m trying to configure Junebug to be served through Apache following the instructions at [http://www.junebugwiki.com/Junebug\_Installation](http://www.junebugwiki.com/Junebug_Installation). The only change I’ve made from the std Apache config is to serve the wiki on port 8000 like so \ However when I visit [http://mysite:8000](http://mysite:8000) I get a “Unable to connect” message in Firefox. The app is served fine on its default port of 3301. Any ideas? I’m not too clued up on Apache config. thx Nick ---

There should be a file in the apache.conf file similar to “Listening”. If you add :8000 there, you might be successful. ---

Thanks. That moved me forward a bit. Now I’m receiving the error: Forbidden You don’t have permission to access / on this server Looking in the junebug error log I see a line which says: [warn] proxy: No protocol handler was valid for the URL /. If you are using a DSO version of mod\_proxy, make sure the proxy submodules are included in the configuration using LoadModule. Not sure what I should be checking next? thx Nick Phil wrote: > > The only change I’ve made from the std Apache config is to serve the > > wiki on port 8000 like so > > \ > > > > However when I visit [http://mysite:8000](http://mysite:8000) I get a “Unable to connect” > > message in Firefox.

That, or the file permissions of junebug’s directory (the apache user, or, at least, the groups apache belongs to should have at least read access to the directories and files). Otherwise, I’d be as stumped as you by now. ---

Here’s my vhost setup: \ ServerName [wiki.mydomain.com](http://wiki.mydomain.com) ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass / [http://localhost:3301/](http://localhost:3301/) ProxyPassReverse / [http://localhost:3301/](http://localhost:3301/) ProxyPreserveHost On SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1 SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1 Also, don’t forget to change junebug so it listens only on localhost if you want to force everything to go through the proxy. ---

No difference. The permissions don’t have anything to do with the proxy setup. Try it with all the rewrite stuff commented out.

I’m going in circles here… Bob, I tried your vhost setup, no luck though. I’ve set permissions on the junebug folder to be the same owner and group as the Apache user (www-data). No difference. I load my original file in, which now looks like this: \ ServerName my.server.name ProxyRequests Off #Proxy ACL \ Order allow,deny Allow from all #Proxy directives ProxyPass / [http://localhost:3301/](http://localhost:3301/) ProxyPassReverse / [http://localhost:3301/](http://localhost:3301/) ProxyPreserveHost On #Turn rewriting on RewriteEngine On RewriteLogLevel 0 #Redirect non-static documents RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT\_ROOT}%{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^/(.\*)$ [http://localhost:3301](http://localhost:3301)%{REQUEST\_URI} [P,QSA,L] DocumentRoot /home/nick/cvwiki/public/ ErrorLog /home/nick/cvwiki/error-cvwiki.log CustomLog /home/nick/cvwiki/access-cvwiki.log combined The error I’m now receiving is “503 Service Temporarily Unavailable” which apparently usually means that Apache can’t find anything in the place its being told to look. If I go to port 3301 in my browser Junebug is running just fine. mmmmph. Nick Bob S. wrote: > On 9/12/07, Nick C.

Changing host in config.yml to 127.0.0.1 fixed it! Thx Nick
