The purpose of configtest is more of a syntax check rather than a sanity check.
In order for name based virtual hosts to work, NameVirtualHost needs to be set,
but not setting it does not cause Apache to fail to start, which is what
"apachectl configtest" was made to determine. Also, the wording in the
documentation is "The NameVirtualHost directive is a required directive if you
want to configure name-based virtual hosts." It's perfectly valid to not set
NameVirtualHost, but to set ServerName in the one's VirtualHosts as that
servername is used for other things than routing requests to the right place
(it's e.g. shown in directory indexes).
In summary, I'm going to reject this bug. Thanks for reporting it,
though.
Cheers.
