Hi there,
I am created two sites with the Apple Server Admin . The first site is located in /Library/WebServer/Documents/, the 2nd site in /Library/WebServer/Documents/folder. At the 2nd site should be enable the option "Folder Listing" I am bit confused, because it doesn't work. Instead of that I get an 404Error. Is there any other way to create virtual host? How do you manage your sites? I also tried to put my sites into folders in /Library/WebServer/Documents/ and linked to them.

thanks for your support!

Virtual hosts can be a nightmare sometimes.
My setup uses Register.com's DNS servers, so when I need additonal aliases, I set them up first at Register.com's web interface.

In Server Admin, when I add the new Virtual host, I set them up as two sites. One under the domain name of

www.myvirtualhost.mydomain.com, and the other as
myvirtualhost.mydomain.com

both pointing to the same folder, i.e. Library/WebServer/Documents/newvirtualdomain

You can create them quickly by entering the first v host (www.myvirtualhost.mydomain.com) and duplicating it for the second in Server Admin.

The "List Folders" option is ment for listing a folders content in case no start pages are found, e.g. not configured in the Site setup window (index.html, default.html, index.php, etc.) I leave this option un-checked.

Hope this helps.

Hi Zwiebel,
thanks for your response! There's additional problem. I hope you can give me any advice. When I updated to OS X 1.3.6 all my site were disabled and the WebServer didn't wont to start. I edited the reqired files, but everytime I run the software updater all my website settings aren't saved. Any ideas?

Look in you server log files for errors. Server Admin/Your Server/Logs.
See what errors are listed, if any, but take a look and let me know.

Another thing is to run Disk Utility and repair permissions.

EDIT: You may also try the following command in the Terminal to see if your configuration file is OK:
apachectl configtest

Hope that helps.

Of course I repaired several times the permission. Today I updated to the new iCal Version and suddently the WebServer is stopped and I can't start it now. My Site-Settings were saved.

Here's my log
