Configure For Additional Domains on Ensim Pro 3.5.10-12

November 27, 2006 / Web Hosting

When configuring additional domains on Ensim Pro 3.5.10-12, you may run into compatibility or permission issues due to incorrect Apache directives or Python versions. A common solution is to adjust the Apache configuration and ensure the right Python version is used while working with Ensim’s Apache management files.

This article explains how to properly set up additional domains in Ensim Pro 3.5.10-12 with recommended options.

Steps to Follow

1: Replace Apache Option

By default, many setups use:

Options FollowSymLinks

This can cause security and permission issues when used in Ensim Pro environments.

Instead, use the following:

Options +SymlinksIfOwnerMatch

This ensures symbolic links are followed only if the file owner matches, providing better security.

2: Use Python 2.2 for Apache File Handling

While copying the apache.py file in Ensim Pro 3.5.10-12, make sure you use Python 2.2 instead of higher versions. This is important because Ensim Pro’s internal scripts were designed with Python 2.2 compatibility in mind, and using other versions may cause errors.

Command example:

python2.2 apache.py

Common Issues & Fixes

Issue 1: Apache not starting after changes

Check httpd.conf for syntax errors.

Ensure the new directive +SymlinksIfOwnerMatch is correctly placed.

Issue 2: Python errors while copying apache.py

Confirm that Python 2.2 is installed on your server.

Run python2.2 –version to verify.
