Virtual Hosts Issues

I have a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.4 Server, and am having some problems setting up virtual hosts. I have 2 sites I'd like to host. Both are configured under the Sites tab of Web services. Both are pointing to different web folders. Both are using the same IP (the only IP this server has), and both are using port 80.
Regardless of which site I try to access, I always get the first sites default page. I've already checked to make sure it's not a caching issue, and I have turned on the vhostaliasmodule.
I've read through some old posts on this subject, but haven't found a solution that works yet. Any one know how to resolve this? Thanks!

Ha!
I finally figured it out.
In httpd.conf, at the end of the file there's a section stating to use all of the .conf files in the /etc/httpd/sites directory. Seemingly, Mac OS X Server sets up every site as a virtual host, and creates a .conf file for each site in this directory. The issue ended up being that the directive in http.conf was:
Include "/etc/httpd/sites/*.conf"
I removed the quotes and both of my virtual hosts are working now.
I don't know if this is a bug, or if there's supposed to be some other way to make this work.
Thanks for the help from all of you!

Tomcat 5.5 virtual hosting issue

My hosting provider migrated to newer tomcat version i guess 5.5, that needs additional modifications to applications code because it handles each sub-directory as separate web application with its own context element.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/host.html
Any subdirectory within the application base directory will receive an automatically generated Context element, even if this
directory is not mentioned in the conf/server.xml file. This generated Context entry will be configured according to the
defaults configured for this Host element. The context path for this deployed Context will be a slash character ("/")
followed by the directory name, unless the directory name is ROOT, in which case the context path will be an empty string("").Because my server was upgraded to tomcat 5.5, website is not working properly. I am facing a problem of broken URLs of images and other stuff that's because I have some files stored in : public_html/jsp folder and the new server treats jsp as another web context so pages under this URL are not showing up properly.
check out the menu links for example:
http://www.xyz.com/jsp/entry/tickets.jsp
Only the homepage http://www.xyz.com is working properly.
If you could help me how to fix this issue, with out changing the code because if I change the code it won't be portable any more.
Regards,
Jawed Ali

I don't now the answer, but here are some ideas on how to fix it:
Create a simple hello world project with a JSP page and servlet where each displays 'hello world'. Build and deploy it using the version of tomcat you are interested in. Add items to the projects context file one at a time and make sure each works before adding the next item. This way, if it does not work, you know exactly where the problem is.
(if you add more than one item and both are broken, you will never know if you fixed one problem since the other problem remains broken and therefore you don't know if the first problem is fixed or not).
You can also install an IDE such as Eclipse, tell it to deploy a project using the version of tomcat you're interested in, and seeing what context file it generated and where it deployed to.

No Virtual Host Found

Ok soooo
Like everyone else.. ok like some others here... iCal seems to be a major sticking point with 10.5 Server. I'm not an expert, but have been the server admin for several years now so am kind of learning as I go. Here's what I've done:
1. Clean install of 10.5 "advanced"
2. Updated to 10.5.1
3. Created a few users
4. Created a few groups
5. Have AFP, mail, web, SMB, chat , and half of VPN up and running correctly.
6. When trying to start iCal, I get the error message "No Virtual Host Found"
Most of these posts deal with Open Directory, so I enabled that service, went thru the setup for it, and now OD seems to be working.
But I STILL can't get iCal to start running.
This is a very small office... there is only 1 server, since we are not using it as a NAT, there is no DNS running.
So what am I missing?

Well out of sheer frustration, I once again started from scratch. While both the "Standard" and the "Workgroup" setups seem similar, I opted for the "Standard" setup to start.
I believe the one key element to success is to choose Open Directory as one of the first services to set up... there is a list you check during setup, and Open Directory is one of them.. I checked it, and iCal, and File and Print Sharing, and most likely e-mail as the only services for the server to set up and auto configure for me.
Once that was done, I added a user or two, and things became much clearer.
On 10.5 Clients, go to the Utilities folder, and look for an application called Directory Utility, and launch it.
It's possible that your server may have been found by the client, but if it is, I'd elect to delete it and start afresh just to be sure everything is correct.
For clients INSIDE the office, when asked for the server name or IP address, I entered the IP address of the server, and it went into auto pilot after that, asking me if I wanted it to configure the client computer.... in my case, I checked Yes.
It will then configure the client to use the services you've set up on the server(so, in reality, you may want to wait 'til you have more services up and running).
It asks for your username and password on the server, as well as the password for the client machine. As I understand it, if the client password is different, it will change the password on the server to match(but my password is the same, so can't promise what happens when they are different).
It DID configure both e-mail and iCal to work correctly with the server. In iCal there is a new listing on the left called yourdomain server, and one default calendar there. You can add more if you like.
Once you have several users up and running, in the client iCal prefs, under the Accounts tab, there is a tab for "Delegation". This is were you allow other users to see and /or write to your calendar. Click the "Edit" button, and the rest should be cake. The users must be valid users on the server. Likewise, there is a window showing accounts you can access and the privileges you have there.
In my case, I'm not so much working with others, but am looking for a replacement for the iCal sync function of Dot Mac. I was able to log into my account on the server from a computer at work, one at home, and a laptop. All three reflect changes made on any of the client computers I operate.
(As a note... for the laptop, which is sometimes IN the office and sometimes OUT of the office, as well as the computer at home, in Directory Utility, I used the FQDN of the server. This connects to the server from outside the LAN and works just the same as if I were inside.)
Now if only there was an option of what to publish in the server.... with Dot Mac, I elect to publish only that there is an event.. no name or anything else... this allows clients to see when I'm busy, but not who I'm busy with. Unless I can figure out how the calendar can be seen by anyone on the web, AND I can hide the event info, I'm stuck on Dot Mac.
I WISH I had an answer for the "no virtual host" issue. I did run into a problem with a web site, and found the only way to fix it was to delete the web site entry in the Server Admin, then re-instate it again, and all was well. I'm thinking it MAY be possible to delete the iCal service in Server Admin, save changes, re-start the server, then add the iCal service again.... its possible that will get you around the No Virtual Host message, but since I started over, I can't test to tell you if it will or wont work. I can tell you that there is nothing in the iCal Server Admin that is vitally different that what was there before, so I'm at a loss about the no virtual host message.
Soooo that's my iCal service story. Long, hard, bitter, and difficult. I've said this before, but Apple really need to create some type of "Re-Initialize" server button to put you back with a fresh install, instead of having to re-install it. I've lost track of how many times I've done that with 10.5, and know I had to do it with 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 as well. For now, I'm on the Standard Setup, but intend to migrate to the Advanced after this seems stable AND I've got a good working copy on a separate drive to go back to should things go haywire. I can say that while I've have had to use Server Admin some(for the firewall for sure), there seems to be no interference between the settings I make in Server Prefs and Server Admin.
Good luck to you all!

Real brain bender: virtual host or omni portlet issue? Take the challenge

We are having problems with a portal page that displays several omni portlets on several tabs. Here's the situation:
The page consists of 5 tabs, each representing a different demographic characteristic. On each tab there are four omni portlets. One omni porlet represents a selection list. The user makes a selection, which triggers an omni portlet event to pass the selection criteria to a page parameter. The other three omni portlets on the tab read the parameter value and retrieve data according to the selected parameter value.
Example: The user selects the Age tab and selects the link representing data for the Central Region. The omni portlet's event populates the page's "region" parameter with the value "Central." The other three portlets on the tab retrieve their respective data where region = 'Central'.
Since all the tabs on the page represent different demographic characteristics, the omni portlets on all the other tabs also perform their queries where region='Central' so that the user will see Central Region data displayed regardless of what tab they navigate to.
Also, when the user navigates to another tab and selects a different region, all the omni portlets on all the tabs perform their respective queries to capture data where region=<selected region>.
The page performs correctly until we configure a virtual host. In that case, when a user makes a selection of a particular county in one tab, the queries are performed but the page displays with a tab in view other than the one where the user made the selection.
Example: the user navigates to the Age tab and selects region='Central'. Then the user navigates to Gender tab and then Living Situation tab, viewing the results on each tab. Now the user returns to Gender tab and selects region='Western.' The portlets perform their queries and the page re-displays with the user on Living Situations tab, rather than Gender tab where the selection was made.
Obviously, we want the user to stay put on the tab in which they make their selection. I think it's a problem with the virtual host configuration. My DBA thinks it's a problem with the way the page is built. Has anyone else run into this kind of thing? Is there a trick to using Virtual Hosts?

Your main.cf seems redundant.
For example:
if you specify:
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_forwards.cf
you don't need this:
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
and i think you have a lot of more options you don't need.
This is my main.cf on my vps and everything works great (sending and receiving emails from/to most common mail server: gmail, hotmail etc etc)
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
biff = no
# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

# TLS parameters
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem

smtpd_use_tls=yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache

virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-domains.cf

virtual_transport = dovecot
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
it is very simple (no dkim, no forced tls, no mailbox limits and so on) and it can be improved but it works..
as I suggested you just try spending some hour wiping postfix installation and giving a look to this guide

How to create and access a Virtual Host on the J2EE WAS?

Hello, I have searched through the Forums and help.sap.com and found a lot of information on how to set up a Virtual Host on the J2EE server but am having issues with it working.
The goal is to provide a simple virtual host on the J2EE Portal server to host some static image and HTML files. Previously I had stored these files in the standard publicly accessible SAP J2EE folder location /usr/sap/<SID>/JCxx/j2ee/cluster/serverx/apps/sap.com/com.sap.engine.docs.examples/servlet_jsp/_default/root/. This location is resolved to when using the URL <host>:50000 for example.
The main issue here is that during Portal support pack applications this folder gets wiped out and we have to remember to save off any custom files and folders in this location and replace them.
I would like to create a virtual host to store these static files (i.e., branding-image.jpg, etc...).
I have run through the process of creating the virtual host both using Visual Administrator and <host>:50000/nwa but am not able to get the virtual host name to resolve properly.
The following are the steps that I have taken. Let's assume the standard SAP portal (i.e., xSS, etc...) is running properly on <host>:50000.
1. create virtual host via Visual Administrator/NWA called 'sapwebserver1' by using the Create Host option (takes on the attributes of the 'default' standard virtual host)
2. change the root directory for this virtual server to a custom folder at E:/tmp/mimes (where E:/usr is where the J2EE files are all installed), no start files were set up and nothing else was changed in the new virtual host record, no permissions were changed on the /tmp/mimes folder from whatever the default Windows user permissions are normally set, I am using a local Windows administrator account but I have not seen any reference in the help files or the examples that indicate that any specific permissions updates need to be made on the virtual host root folder
3. restarted the J2EE server as well as the HTTP Provider service
4. before updating the company DNS, I wanted to test this locally on the server and so have updated the server's local HOSTS file with a <host IP address> sapwebserver1 entry
5. from that server I can ping the sapwebserver1 virtual host name and it resolves properly to the machine's physical IP address
According to all of the documentation and examples I have seen I should now be able to (from that server) launch a browser and access the static files in the virtual host by referring to http://sapwebserver1:50000/branding-image.jpg for example. This is not working and the browser just brings up a Cannot display the web page error in IE. By referring to the virtual host name sapwebserver1:50000 it's supposed to hit the J2EE server and based on the host name sapwebserver1 realize that it should resolve to the root directory E:/tmp/mimes. This is not happening. Just as a test I have created a copy of the 'default' virtual host and called it sapwebserver2, updated the local HOSTS file for this entry, and tried to see if that would work like the 'default' host. My expectation was that http://sapwebserver2:50000 would behave the same was as http://<host>:50000 but it too fails to resolve just like the sapwebserver1 virtual host refernce.
Would anyone happen to have any pointers on what to do next? I just want a simple virtual host to be able to serve up some static images and files.
Thanks for any insight or assistance you might be able to provide here.
Graham

This defeats the purpose of trying to centralize SAP-related web resources on the SAP server. Typically IIS/Apache or other non-SAP servers are under the control of IT and not the SAP BASIS group.
We simply would like to have a centralized location to store static web files so that they are not overwritten during Portal support pack applications.

How to set up Virtual Hosts in Apache (OS X Server 10.9)

I want to host more than one website on my mac mini with OS X Server 10.9
1.) I edited /etc/apache2/httpd.conf for uncommenting the include line:
# Virtual hosts
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
2.) I edited /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf and added:
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName cammino-al-dente.net
    ServerAlias www.cammino-al-dente.net
    DocumentRoot "/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/cammino-al-dente.net"
    ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/cammino-al-dente.net.com-error_log"
    CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/cammino-al-dente.net-access_log" common
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName sutterer.net
    ServerAlias www.sutterer.net
    DocumentRoot "/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/sutterer.net"
    ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/sutterer.net-error_log"
    CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/sutterer.net-access_log" common
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
</VirtualHost>
3.) then I edited /etc/hosts/ to spoof my IP address to the domains:
127.0.0.1
localhost
127.0.0.1
cammino-al-dente.net
127.0.0.1
www.cammino-al-dente.net
127.0.0.1
sutterer.net
127.0.0.1
www.sutterer.net
255.255.255.255
broadcasthost
::1
localhost
fe80::1%lo0
localhost
Then I restarted Apache...But nothing happens :-(
I could reach my website cammino-al-dente.net only by using the Server Default-entry, chancing the entry to my cammino...-folder

In the /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf file check this line exists:
NameVirtualHost *:80
This solve same issue for me.
I hope it's help.

10.5.1 Broken Mail Server - virtual host configuration

Hi,
I have been trying to set up my mail server (new 10.5.1 build) to run with virtual hosts. I read pterobyte's tutorial ( Making Virtual Mail Users in OS X 10.4/10.5 Server) and implemented his suggested workarounds. However, it doesn't seem to have worked. I am now concerned that I have screwed things up beyond reprieve and need help to get it working again.
To give a start, I have included my postconf output below:

Same issue here. I am current on all system updates. I have noticed this with any photoshop cs3 jpeg file. When using "mail", attached photoshop jpeg files show up as a plain text document "What???" Using Automator produces the same results. I did not have this problem with 10.5.1. I can't mail out any photoshop jpeg files?!@%* I just got off the phone with apple tech support and they told me that Adobe has not yet updated their software to comply with Leopard. Come on. Cover flow in Leopard 10.5.2 is still not working with Adobe photoshop jpeg files either. They Still show up pixelated. Yes, I know the work around by going into photoshop/preferences/file handling/image previews: Never Save. Yea, sure that works, but that is something that not any Mac user should have to do. I have had more problems dealing with pictures on my Mac than my Pc by far. Anybody else? Solution? Better Operating System?

Virtual Hosts for Load Balancing

Hi all,
So I have two identical servers, that have SOA Suite installed pointing to the same database. (RHEL 4) I have configured the mod_oc4j.conf file for round robin, and then I created a virtual host on the httpd.conf file to point to the load balance hardware.
It worked! But with a slight issue. The Load Balance server is orasoaqa.tmpw.net:7777, which opens the main Application Server page. However, when I click on BPEL console, or ESB, it continues using the orasoaqa.tmpw.net:7777 virtual, which of course, breaks even trying to login.
What am I missing here? Here's the entry I added to mod_oc4j.conf:
Oc4jSelectMethod roundrobin:local
Here's the entry I added to the httpd.conf on server 1:
Port 7777
Listen 7777
NameVirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:7777
<VirtualHost orasoaqaapp101.ma.tmpw.net:7777>
ServerName orasoaqa.tmpw.net
ServerAlias orasoaqaapp101.ma.tmpw.net
Port 7777
</VirtualHost>
and on server 2:
Port 7777
Listen 7777
NameVirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:7777
<VirtualHost orasoaqaapp102.ma.tmpw.net:7777>
ServerName orasoaqa.tmpw.net
ServerAlias orasoaqaapp102.ma.tmpw.net
Port 7777
</VirtualHost>
Yes, the port for Application Server and the port on the Load Balancer are exactly the same, I hope this isn't the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Seeing that you have an external load balancer available, you really should not be trying software load balancing. Windows NLBS is a software based load balancing and is not really dependent on the physical/virtual hosting of the OS. There are certain gotchas
w.r.t the NLB modes since they depend on network protocols such as arp, propagation of MAC addresses and usage of the MAC in the L2 routing tables of network devices.
You should be taking the help of the cloud service provider as ONLY they would have an understanding of their underlying networking infrastructure such as VLANS. addressing, routing rules and such.
You could also refer to the VMware support forum for KB's such as
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1006580
Most importantly, NLBS is a base OS related service and you're more likely to get a response in the Windows Server Forum. In the specific case of BizTalk, the Windows NLB is only used for hosting the out of process services such as those associated with
HTTP/s Receive, orchestration published as schemas, web services (asmx) and/or WCF endpoints.

Setting up Virtual Hosts on a Snow Leopard Development Server

Hi Everybody,
I'm losing hair over this - I thought it would be simple!
I have set up a Mac Mini Server running SLS and would like to host multiple websites for development on the internal network. I require the websites to be stored anywhere on the server, not just in Library/WebServer/Documents/. Ideally, I would like to access them by example.com/mynewsite so I don't have to mess around with DNS.
Currently I'm setting up websites in the Server Admin Web panel but it just doesn't work. I've noticed the error log keeps looking for files located in the Library/WebServer/Documents/ folder even though I have specified a different folder.
What Am I missing? Does anybody know of a tutorial / guide to point out potential issues when setting up virtual hosts? I have checked Apple's guide but it doesn't really help me. Any pointers would be much appreciated!
Cheers

Sites is likely failing here because Sites is based on the DNS and on the HEAD command within the http stream; if the DNS does not match, you won't get to the host, and if the HEAD command doesn't match the entry in the site, then you'll either get the * wildcard or (if no *) you won't be transferred to the target Site.
Check the web server logs, as a start.
If you want to see how this stuff works at the protocol level, you could telnet to port 80 and toss a http 1.1 GET / command and see what you get back for a page.
Per [rfc2616|http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616], this sequence looks like this:
+telnet www.example.com 80+
then:
+GET / HTTP/1.1+
+host: www.example.com+
followed by two presses of the return key, and where www.example.com is your target Site (virtual host) name.
Alternatives to using DNS and virtual hosts are port-based hosting (which is easy), and you can also use IP addresses to establish virtual hosts. The former is set up via the Sites stuff, with various other ports being used for the web servers. Ugly, but easy. The IP-based approach can get ugly fast, too.
If you get DNS going and aliases added, and all this goes away in a puff of greasy orange smoke.

Multiple IP vs Same IP multiple port for virtual hosts

Anyone have any recommendations or experience in setting up a virtual host that has a listener for each site?
The issue is when I have to restart a single site, I have to restart them all, because they are installed under the same listener/server.
I need a setup where I can install and manage each website (on the same box) on it's own listener/server instance so re-starting one site doesn't effect another.

Add a service in the Network preference pane. Select the network interface you want; e.g., Ethernet. Configure as desired. Apply and test.

Virtual host redirection

Hi All,
We have a web site based on oracle portal and two virtual hosts have been defined in httpd.conf file as follows:
<VirtualHost *:7779>
ServerName www.mycompany.com
Port 80
ServerAdmin [email protected]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
OssoConfigFile /opt/oracle/product/portal_int/Apache/Apache/conf/osso/osso_www.conf
OssoIpCheck off
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:7779>
ServerName abc.mycompany.com
Port 443
AddCertHeader HTTPS
ServerAdmin [email protected]
SimulateHttps On
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteRule ^/$ /portal/page/portal/MyHome [PT]
OssoConfigFile /opt/oracle/product/portal_int/Apache/Apache/conf/osso/osso_abc.conf
OssoIpCheck on
</VirtualHost>
Now when a request for abc.mycompany.com/PublicPages is made the request gets redirected to www.mycompany.com/PublicPages while the request for abc.mycompany.com/PrivatePages (requiring authentication) is served by abc.mycompany.com/PrivatePages itself.
I want to know:
1> How can I configure this type of behaviour for name based virtual hosts so that request for abc.mycompany.com/PublicPages is served by abc.mycompany.com/PublicPages itself and doesn't get redirected to www.mycompany.com/PublicPages.
2> Where can I find the URL mappings for pages in the Oracle portal.
3> How can I control the redirection of requests in general, on the basis of name based virtual hosts.
Regards,
Noaman

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From the listed error it seems that there is RD Virtualization Host process get failed and user authentication redirection can’t occur successfully. Because it seems that there might be some configuration issue during your RDVH configuration. So if possible
please check the whole configuration again and see whether it can resolve your issue. You can refer beneath article for rechecking.

Do OS-X style Virtual Hosts work in 10.5.5?

The tips for setting up virtual hosting I've seen in these discussions suggest that OS X Virtual Hosting wasn't working before. Is it now or do I need to edit things with Terminal?

pterobyte wrote:
The instructions in the PDF you refer to do not say that you will get separate mailboxes, just how to associate multiple e-mail addresses with one account (=1 mailbox).
From the PDF: "For example, if your domain is example.com and the virtual host domain is server.com, and you want mail addressed to [email protected] to be delivered to user bob, open bob’s user record in Workgroup Manager," and "This causes mail sent to your mail server for [email protected] to be actually sent to the real mail account for user bob. "
This clearly states mail for [email protected] will go to user bob and not to a seperate mailbox.
The very last line of that section (which you didn't quote) says "Meanwhile, mail to [email protected] will go to another designated mail account."
I took that to mean that if [email protected] was also a short name under bob, then those two address = two mail boxes (so as each domain was under Virtual Hosts and not under aliases).
Re-reading it now, I'd say that sentence is rather ambiguous. I can see how it could support what you say, but also how it leads me to believe what I did.
Do you actually need separate mailboxes at all?
Yep. It's only for a few people. Consultants who work under various domains, and need/want segregated mail boxes.
I'm moving these accounts from a Communigate server where separate mailboxes are already the experence these people are accustomed to.
At any rate, multiple users it is, and the 10-user revelation is also a a big help to know that creating multiple users is not an issue.
It's a shame the GUI doesn't have Long Name and then a Domain field (which would then be used in User lists) -- kinda lame to have to write the Long Name with extra stuff to tell them apart. (without memorizing the IDs). I suppose I could manually assign ID ranges to imply my own arbitrary groupings. 1200+ = domain x, 1500+ = domain y ? Not very explicit though.
Thanks for the discussion.

How to get virtual hosts to have their own default webapps?

Is there a way to have several virtual hosts to have their own default
webapps?
I have five virtual hosts on my server, and I used to be able to deploy the
webapps to the server, target a server and a virtual host, and then the
default app to use. But I can't see that anymore in wls8.1. I looked
around the web for some help, and all I could find was some reference to the
<context-root> node. The problem with that solution is, when I put that in
each of the webapps for the virtual hosts, only one gets the "/"
context-root, and the rest can't use that.
I would like to be able to have users just type out the virtual hosts URL to
get access to the webapp. Surely a server as powerful as WebLogic can do
that. I used to be able to do this in 7.0sp1. Any ideas? Thanks.

Unfortunately you cannot split (nor merge) items purchased with an AppleID. I am not clear on what you will have to do to allow them continued access to their music on your account. Apple no longer has DRM protection in its music but then I also hear people have all kinds of authorization issues when trying to synch so it sounds like they still keep restrictions on what you can do with the music when trying to move it about. I'll let somebody more experienced with syncing answer this part. You may have to authorize their computers and devices to your AppleID to allow them all functionality with the music.
Ideally you would have set them up with their own AppleIDs years ago but...
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 - only works for new accounts!

Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP, not getting it to work with virtual Host

I have not got far with the book so far. I am still on the second chapter where you set the Virtual Host but after setting up the Dreamweaver site definition and doing the test. I get the error that page cannot be found.
I ask if I can mail the text file of the http.conf and the httpd-vhosts.conf to anyone to see if I screwed up somewhere . I am running on Windows 7 with the WAMP setup.

Mr. Powers,
I used your included file httpd-vhosts.conf. And it did something since now I get a new set of errors.
( ! ) Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
( ! ) Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required 'C:/vhosts/phpcs5/lesson02/site_check.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in Unknown on line 0
But I checked the properties of the folders and unchecked the 'read only' permission but still gets checked again. I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
I checked on the web nobody says any solutions about it, they only imply that is a permissions issue.
I apologize, I found out the chapter files were encrypted... thanks

Virtual hosts in apache defaults to first host

On my MacMini I have set up apache to use virtual hosts I and use a mounted USB drive to host the sites (in my case /Volumes/Work1/www as root). I have configured 3 sites and switch on the subdomain (in my case and in order in the virtual hosts file: hbc1.helsted.net, consulting.helsted.net, store.helsted.net).
On the MacMini I have inserted the urls in the hosts file to point at localhost for two of the entries and all work beautifully on the MacMini for those two. Anywhere else (and from the MacMini on the one not in the hosts file) the system defaults to the first entry in the virtual hosts config file (as the documentation says it will if the url is not recognized) which is displayed in the browser and which has entries in the log file.
After some time the server occasionally refuses to serve the pages and I get a 403 error (access denied). Again not on the MacMini with the hosts file entries. Looking at the error log from apache in that case it appear that it has got the full url served as it is in the log file.
Restarting the web share removes the 403 error (until next time).
Any hints on how to to resolve my two issues?

Thanks for the reply, my vhosts config file contains the following (note that the viewer in the forum browser removes the initial #es on the comment lines):
# Virtual Hosts
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
NameVirtualHost *:80
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
