Earlier today I tried installing the MyImouto image board software on my Apache server. I already have the full MediaWiki engine installed on port 80 (localhost/wiki/) and the MyImouto board installed in a virtual host on port 3000, running completely separate from the main web server.

After fiddling around a little, I made a mistake with a php-based upload on the main server and had to reinstall apache and php both, which I did, and upgraded to the latest versions (Apache 2.2.22 and PHP 5.4.0). I managed to get my setup up and running successfully, both with the port 3000 virtual host and without. And MediaWiki functions fine, except for one thing.

NOW when I type in http://localhost/wiki/index.php as I have always done in the past, something is redirecting it to http://localhost:3000/wiki/index.php/Main_Page and shifting it to the other virtual host, where there is no wiki at all. However http://localhost/wiki/index.php/Main_Page does work perfectly.

There’s an .htaccess file in localhost:3000 which I renamed to something else, but that doesn’t seem to do the trick. I also tried clearing the browser cache as well as running a session_destroy via php. It didn’t fix it.

I even turned off the second virtual host in Apache’s httpd.conf, but it still redirects me which tells me that it is something in the main webserver. I did not touch the MediaWiki configuration or code during this entire time.

I also attempted accessing http://localhost/phpMyAdmin and THAT redirected me to http://localhost:3000/phpMyAdmin/, as well as http://localhost/AdminTools which does the same type of thing. Httpd.conf now no longer has any references at all to the virtual host *:3000.

However, my main index (http://localhost/index.php) has the following header redirect, which successfully lets it work even when http://localhost is typed into the address bar.

header("Location: index.php?content=main");

I tried disabling expires_module and headers_module in Apache, thinking there might be some weird caching issue due to that now-renamed .htaccess file. That did not help either. In addition, I checked my hosts file and there is nothing odd in there, nor am I proxying through anything (this -is- localhost after all).

Would appreciate any help in figuring out what’s causing this and how to fix it.

    I managed to figure it out. After fiddling a little bit with .htaccess and Rewrite Rules (none of which did anything), I took a look inside my httpd.conf file again and found that I had typo’d my port-80 Virtual Host:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerAdmin -myemail-@gmail.com
  ServerName -blahblah-.no-ip.org:3000
  DocumentRoot "C:/wwwroot/tfg"
  <Directory "C:/wwwroot/tfg">
    OptionsIndexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Allow from all
    Deny from 186
    Deny from 187
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

    When in fact it should have been ServerName -blahblah-.no-ip.org:80.

    Simple typos: always the ones that slip by the easiest.
