Apache Adding DocumentRoot to URL when www not used - could be rewrite issue

When I visit www.mysite.com all is well. When I visit mysite.com (without the www) I get redirected to http://www.mysite.com/home/admin/domains/mysite.com/public_html which gives a 404 error.



/home/admin/domains/mysite.com/public_html is my DocumentRoot



I believe this problem occurs without rewriting happening... but I could be wrong. I think it my be something with my Apache config. Hopefully someone will spot a common mistake.



My VirtualHost setting was generated by DirectAdmin and is as follows:





ServerName www.mysite.com
ServerAlias www.mysite.com mysite.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@mysite.com
DocumentRoot /home/admin/domains/mysite.com/public_html
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/admin/domains/mysite.com/public_html/cgi-bin/
UseCanonicalName OFF

SuexecUserGroup admin admin


CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/mysite.com.bytes bytes
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/mysite.com.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/domains/mysite.com.error.log

php_admin_flag safe_mode OFF
php_admin_flag engine ON
php_admin_value sendmail_path '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f admin@mysite.com'
php_admin_value mail.log /home/admin/.php/php-mail.log
php_admin_value open_basedir /home/admin/:/tmp:/var/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php/






There is a similar VirtualHost for 443 (SSL).



Below is my rewrite log and the DocumentRoot seems to have already been added. The first rewrite rule is the htaccess one on the third line.



[19/Feb/2014:09:45:44 --0800] [www.mysite.com/sid#9ffeb8][rid#d06080/initial] (3) [perdir /home/admin/domains/mysite.com/public_html/] add path info postfix: /home/admin/domains/mysite.com/public_html/home -> /home/admin/domains/mysite.com/public_html/home/admin/domains/mysite.com/public_html/

[19/Feb/2014:09:45:44 --0800] [www.mysite.com/sid#9ffeb8][rid#d06080/initial] (3) [perdir /home/admin/domains/mysite.com/public_html/] applying pattern '^\.htaccess$' to uri 'home/admin/domains/mysite.com/public_html/'



I have AllowOverrides set to None. So, no htaccess files are used. I include all the stuff that would normally be in htaccess files like so:
Include /home/admin/webfiles/bightaccess.conf



bightaccess.conf is not in the DocumentRoot directory or a subdirectory.



Here are the rewrite directives in bightaccess.conf





Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes -MultiViews


RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?(.+) index.php/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,PT,L]





This may be something simple but it's been driving me bonkers. Hopefully someone out there will have seen this before. I can provide any additional info needed!



Thanks!



P.S. I've already looked at similar posts: mod_rewrite adding documentroot to url




but no dice. My statement already points to the DocumentRoot.

linux - Awstats - outputting stats for merged Access_logs only producing stats for one server's log

I've been attempting this for two weeks and I've accessed countless number of sites on this issue and it seems there is something I'm not getting here and I'm at a lost. I manged to figure out how to merge logs from two servers together. (Taking care to only merge the matching domains together) The logs from the first server span from 15 Dec 2012 to 8 April 2014 The logs from the second server span from 2 Mar 2014 to 9 April 2014 I was able to successfully merge them using the logresolvemerge.pl script simply enermerating each log and > out_putting_it_to_file Looking at the two logs from each server the format seems exactly the same. The problem I'm having is producing the stats page for the logs. The command I've boiled it down to is /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -configdir=/home/User/Documents/conf/ -config=example.com awstatsprog=/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl dir=/home/User/Documents/parced -month=all -year=all...

iLO 3 Firmware Update (HP Proliant DL380 G7)

The iLO web interface allows me to upload a .bin file ( Obtain the firmware image (.bin) file from the Online ROM Flash Component for HP Integrated Lights-Out. ) The iLO web interface redirects me to a page in the HP support website ( http://www.hp.com/go/iLO ) where I am supposed to find this .bin firmware, but no luck for me. The support website is a mess and very slow, badly categorized and generally unusable. Where can I find this .bin file? The only related link I am able to find asks me about my server operating system (what does this have to do with the iLO?!) and lets me download an .iso with no .bin file And also a related question: what is the latest iLO 3 version? (for Proliant DL380 G7, not sure if the iLO is tied to the server model)

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits, ...
