Noob can't display web site

I am so darn close....

I finally have Apache2 on Ubuntu setup to publish on the web. The
problem is, when I type in my URL it goes to my root directory instead
of the directory setup for my server. Now if I click through the
directory tree on web site I can access the correct page. I have my /
etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default set to point to the correct
directory...but it still won't.

Here's a copy of how it's setup:


NameVirtualHost www.wingandrotors.com
ServerName www.wingandrotors.com
<VirtualHost www.wingandrotors.com>

DocumentRoot /var/www/Web_Server
<Directory /var/www/Web_Server>

AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">

Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.

</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Look into your config-files carefully, for example:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default

.... or ask anyone who knows what she/he's doing.

This is what I have in my /etc/apache2/sites-available/default. I
copied the lines for the default and pasted it further in the file
while correcting the directory names. I also have a virtual host for
sql-ledger and it works correctly. I tried what you suggested with no
luck.

where is

NameVirtualHost www.wingandrotors.com
ServerName www.wingandrotors.com
<VirtualHost www.wingandrotors.com>
.....


coming from?

could you try

NameVirtualHost *
ServerName localhost
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.wingandrotors.com
.....


instead. Look up the docs for vhosts on the apache 2 site.

I've tried several different combinations of directives and I keep
getting the same thing...a display of my root directory. It's almost
like the only thing that is happening is my local host is being
renamed to my web site name. It just will not go to my server
directory.

I don't know if your posts to the newsgroups are being displayed
correctly, but I am seeing this...

ServerNamewww.wingandrotors.com

And that just ain't gonna work without a space in the right place.

ServerName www.wingandrotors.com


Then be sure and restart apache when you make changes. Other than that it
might be best to see the entire httpd.conf file. Remember, your main host
is disabled when you use virtual hosts.

combinations of directives are not needed, you have a very strange
setup, with a virtual host with a doc root, and then some directory
stanzas with config that lie outside this doc root. i would imagine
you plonked that there from the main file, or wrapped the main file
with vhost stuff.
simply check out the docs they have examples.
