Apache 2.4 using default DocumentRoot instead of VirtualHost DocumentRoot

itemprop="text">

Long time listener, first time
caller...

I've been running Apache for years,
and have set up multiple servers. This one is giving me a hard time and I just can't
spot the issue. I've seen a number of threads here and elsewhere with VirtualHost
problems and the wrong DocumentRoot being served, but none of those threads have helped
me out.

Server is running Centos 7.5, SELinux
enabled, Apache 2.4.33.

I'm wanting
to run two VirtualHosts. For some reason, the secondary VH isn't serving the right
files. Changing the order of the VH didn't matter. Last thing I tried was hard coding a
default DocumentRoot (/var/www/html) and then putting each VH in its own separate
directory (/var/www/VirtualHost).

Here is my
current virtualhost.conf
file:

#Set a default
            DocumentRoot
DocumentRoot /var/www/html

            *:80>
 ServerAdmin webmaster@example1.com


            DocumentRoot /var/www/example2.com
 ServerName example2.com

            ServerAlias
            www.example2.com


            /var/www/example2.com>
 Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
            +MultiViews
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from
            all



            *:80>
 ServerAdmin webmaster@example1.com
 DocumentRoot
            /var/www/example1.com
 ServerName example1.com
 ServerAlias
            www.example1.com


            /var/www/example1.com>
 Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
            +MultiViews

 Order allow,deny
 Allow from
            all

What
I'm seeing in my logs is that all requests are trying to be served from /var/www/html,
the default.

I have temporarily changed the log
format used so that I can see the ServerName used, and the exact filename being
referenced to verify the
path.

LogFormat "%v %f %h %l %u %t
            \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""
            combined

On
the local server, I issue the following two commands to
test:

wget
            http://example1.com/index.html
wget
            http://example2.com/images/logo.jpg

My
access log shows
this:

example1.com
            /var/www/html/index.html 192.168.1.2 - - [18/Jul/2018:11:48:08 -0500] "GET /index.html
            HTTP/1.1" 404 208 "-" "Wget/1.14 (linux-gnu)"
example2.com
            /var/www/html/images 192.168.1.2 - - [18/Jul/2018:11:48:12 -0500] "GET /images/logo.jpg
            HTTP/1.1" 404 213 "-" "Wget/1.14
            (linux-gnu)"

From the
log, I can see that the correct domain is showing, but the file path is clearly wrong,
Apache is trying to pull the requested files from the default DocumentRoot, and not the
DocumentRoot defined for the VirtualHosts, which would have been
/var/www/example(x).com.

Output of the httpd -S
command as follows:

[wright@web2
            conf.d]$ httpd -S

            fully qualified domain name, using web2.local. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally

I've
managed to resolve my issue, and naturally it had nothing to do with anything I posted
above. Hopefully this will help someone else down the
road.

The root cause of my issue turned out to
be my installation of PHP 7, specifically with the setup of php-fpm. The guide I
followed suggested creating an fpm.conf file with the
following:

# PHP scripts setup
            
ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*.php)$
            fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/html


Alias /
            /var/www/html/

Thanks
to this config, my DocumentRoot was getting rewritten for all of my VirtualHosts to the
above path. It wasn't until I dumped all of my config files searching for '/var/www'
that I came across this file.

Further googling
on how to incorporate PHP-FPM with VirtualHosts led me to a page that had this code
block within each VirtualHost
block:

            \.php$>
 # 2.4.10+ can proxy to unix socket

 #
            SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"

 #
            Else we can just use a tcp socket:
 SetHandler
            "proxy:fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000"

Adding
this block to both of my VirtualHosts, and removing the old fpm.conf file and restarting
Apache resolved my issue, the correct DocumentRoot was now being used for each VHost. It
still remains to be determined if my PHP files are going to be served up correctly, but
at least now I'm on the right path.
