Bug#663530: apache2.2-common: ports.conf also specifies NameVirtualHost *:80

2013-07-22 Thread Edward Welbourne
That being said please note, that NameVirtualHost itself is deprecated and not used anymore in Apache2 2.4. That's good to hear. Having to hae two things exactly in sync is always a bit weird; might as well eliminate the redundancy instead ! Eddy. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to

2009-09-17 Thread Edward Welbourne
Sorry about the lack of reply - your mail got lost in what came while I was on holiday and I only now got back to it. I can't reproduce your problem. Are you sure all involved directories are accessible for the www-data user? I now slap myself on the fore-head - indeed, one of the directories

What else do I need to change to make this work ? I forgot to mention: I *did* shuffle the symlinks and when I symlinked *all* auth* into enabled, and restarted, I got: quote src=error.log [Wed Nov 08 19:50:26 2006] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down [Wed Nov 08 19:50:35 2006] [notice]
