I quote fajita, #httpd's bot: 17:04 <jMCg> namevirtualhost * 17:04 <fajita> Consider using NameVirtualHost *:80 instead, to avoid port overlap. 17:04 <jMCg> virtualhost * 17:04 <fajita> BAD because it makes things confused when making apache listen on multiple sockets/ports. Try to use <VirtualHost *:80>, for instance, unless one knows what they are doing. > It's two less characters to type, and means that however I configure > the Listen directives, or how I connect to the server, my list of > configured vhosts is applied correctly. The last part ``unless one knows what they are doing'' is important here. We see too many people who are incapable of configuring their vhosts, apachectl -S shows overlapping most of the time, so we're preaching this good practice wherever we can. I think a better long term solution would be to not allow a start of a server if apachectl -S returns warnings ;) > Tom i -- Igor Galić Tel: +43 (0) 664 886 22 883 Mail: i.ga...@brainsware.org URL: http://brainsware.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
