Why am I getting this error in the logs?
Ok so I just started a new ubuntu server 11.10 and i added the vhost and all seems ok ...I also restarted apache but when i visit the browser i get a blank page
the server ip is http://23.21.197.126/ but when i tail the log
tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log
[Wed Feb 01 02:19:20 2012] [error] [client 208.104.53.51] File does not exist: /etc/apache2/htdocs
[Wed Feb 01 02:19:24 2012] [error] [client 208.104.53.51] File does not exist: /etc/apache2/htdocs
but my only file in sites-enabled is this
<VirtualHost 23.21.197.126:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName logicxl.com
# ServerAlias
DocumentRoot /srv/crm/current/public
ErrorLog /srv/crm/logs/error.log
<Directory "/srv/crm/current/public">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
is there something i am missing .....the document root should be /srv/crm/current/public
and not /etc/apache2/htdocs
as the error suggests
Any ideas on how to fix this
UPDATE
sudo apache2ctl -S
VirtualHost configuration:
23.21.197.126:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server logicxl.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/crm:1)
port 80 namevhost logicxl.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/crm:1)
Syntax OK
UPDATE
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]

Solution 1:
This sounds like apache is not finding your sites-enabled directory.
Look in your apache2.conf file (etc/apache2/apache2.conf) for a line like this:
Include sites-enabled/
Change it to an absolute path like this:
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
This should do the trick.
Solution 2:
This is probably due to:
<VirtualHost 23.21.197.126:80>
Any request to http://localhost
could have missed the initial vhost definition.
You then then changed it (correctly) to:
<VirtualHost *:80>
Unless you have a specific reason you should always use *:80
as this defines what address to listen on. ServerName
defines what name to respond to . For example:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
...
</VirtualHost>
