For some reason, when accessing a subdirectory without typing a page name (ie to get the default page) served from mac os x server if you don't put a / on the end of the url on a pc it won't display the page at all and on a mac it puts the port number 16080 into the url (ie www.orkanix.com:16080/forum). Is this something I'm doing wrong or is it something I'll just have to live with?

Thanks

You need to specify your domain name within the httpd.conf document in your /etc directory...

after doing that, the trailing slash is not needed.
 
Thanks, I'll try that.

The only problem is that I'm hosting multiple domains, I have set them in the webserver settings, will I need to set up the virtual hosts in httpd.conf as well to make them work?
 
More than likely you will have to setup virtual domains. There is a really great piece of freeware to do this. It is called Webmin (www.webmin.com) This will let you control apache, php, mysql, .... through a browser window.
 
I have the same problem as JonasMW. I have also set up virtual domains with the "Server Settings" included in OS X Server, and I don't want to install webmin, because I can do everything I need in the "Server Settings".


From httpd.conf on Mac OS X Server 10.2:

#### For Mac OS X Server: Any ServerName directive here will be overridden by
#### the setting in the virtual hosts in httpd_macosxserver.conf.


So how will I get rid of the 16080-port-problem?
 
If you open the webserver config file you will notice that all the port numbers are not listed as 80, change them all to 80 and try it - It worked for me...
 
Yes. It worked. Changed the ports manually in httpd_macosxserver.conf to port 80 on all hosts.
But when i restarted the server today, apache didn't start up. In th eserver messages it says somehing like x.x.x.x:80 has no virtual hosts. I started "Server Settings" and opened all the virtual hosts and deleted 80 (port) and reentered 80 and then saved. And after that apache starts again, but now I'm back where I started :(
