ParaViewWeb Multi-user Setup : Apache as a Front-end

[Sagar-Shimpi]

Hi, I am trying to set up PVW Multi user setup. As mentioned here (https://kitware.github.io/paraviewweb/docs/multi_user_setup.html), I am working on to set up Apache as User front-end. I am following this tutorial for Apache installation (https://kitware.github.io/paraviewweb/docs/apache_front_end.html). In the process of Adding a virtual host I am getting error while restarting apache2. Before that, while executing these commands $ sudo a2enmod vhost_alias $ sudo a2enmod proxy $ sudo a2enmod proxy_http $ sudo a2enmod proxy_wstunnel $ sudo a2enmod rewrite

I got this message after every command execution: "Enabling module proxy. To activate the new configuration, you need to run: systemctl restart apache2"

At the end while executing $ sudo service apache2 restart, also I am receiving the same error message. I tried to execute systemctl restart apache2 and I got error "FAILED TO START THE APACHE HTTP SERVER". Here I have added the snapshot of the same.

Also I have added below snippet of my 001-pvw.conf :

Please help me with this.

Thanks in advance!

The error message says: ServerName takes one argument on line 2 you have ServerName $ ubuntu.

• arg 1: $
• arg 2: ubuntu

Since I'm at it, the following PATH are not valid ones

• ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
• CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

${APACHE_LOG_DIR} need to be replaced with a valid path relevant to your setup.

Hi Sebastien,

I appreciate your valuable reply. It was my mistake in not giving the proper path of THE-DOCUMENT-ROOT and APACHE-LOG-DIR. Thanks for pointing it out. Now the Apache HTTP Server is started and now I will move on to the multi-user setup of ParaViewWeb.
