I have setup a web server on Amazon with 3 Virtual hosts. For some reason I can't get any of the sites going on it, they all show a 404 error. /var/log/apache2/error.log shows "File does not exist: /etc/apache2/htdocs"
I have checked:
- a2ensite all my virtual hosts
- actually checked softlinks in sites-enabled
- access rights in /var/www to 777, in case user is not www-data
- grep -r htdocs /etc/apache2 (returns nothing)
- ports.conf has NameVirtualHost directive exactly matching Virtual Hosts
What else could this be?
ports.conf
# If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
# have to change the VirtualHost statement in
# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
# This is also true if you have upgraded from before 2.2.9-3 (i.e. from
# Debian etch). See /usr/share/doc/apache2.2-common/NEWS.Debian.gz and
# README.Debian.gz
NameVirtualHost 107.20.169.163:80
Listen 80
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
# If you add NameVirtualHost *:443 here, you will also have to change
# the VirtualHost statement in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
# to <VirtualHost *:443>
# Server Name Indication for SSL named virtual hosts is currently not
# supported by MSIE on Windows XP.
Listen 443

Check your configuration files it looks like you've got a misconfigured DocumentRoot directive.
You really don't want to have 777 perms anywhere in the web accessible part of your filesystem either.
Maybe try to reinstall Apache with apt-get remove/ apt-get install
