NameVirtualHost www.mysite.it has no VirtualHosts

[gabrix]

I have 3 virtualhosts on an apache2 running on a debian 2.6.8 stable . I don't understand why the site still being reachable , when i restart apache2 , it shows this error:
root@www:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

It happens only for the site above , and all sites have same virtualhost in pache2.conf and dir /etc/apache2/sites-enabled here the apache2.conf:

NameVirtualHost x.gabrix.ath.cx
NameVirtualHost must be followed by an IP address, not an FQDN.

[gabrix]

Why x.gabrix.ath.cx is the only between them 3 to have an ip ? Anyway didn't work like this either ...
root@www:~# apache2ctl restart
[Fri Feb 02 18:56:16 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost x.gabrix.ath.cx:0 has no VirtualHosts
root@www:~# apache2ctl restart

[falko]

You must change all NameVirtualHost directives. Each of them must take an IP address.

[gabrix]

Forgive me i changed configuration in all possible maners, but i don't manaage to get it to work.Where should the ip go in the apache2.conf file or sites-enabled dir ?

Ho i sould i configure the default virtualhost ? with a * or ip ?And where does the NameVirualHost directive go ?

[martinfst]

You should update both NameVirtualHost and VirtualHost. You can use a *, and as such it will be active for every IP on your system, of you can use a single IP, in which case the block is only valid for that IP address NameVirtualHost *

That's how i have set the 3 virtualhost on my apache2
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.4>

NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.4
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.4>
And i keep on getting this error:
root@www:~# apache2ctl restart
[Sun Feb 04 15:02:00 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.4:0 has no VirtualHosts
Do i have to name also the port it listen to ?Is it because the default virtualhost has to be mensioned explicitly ?
Still with yhe default virtualhost on *.
NameVirtualHost x.gabrix.ath.cx
<VirtualHost x.gabrix.ath.cx>
NameVirtualHost www.gabrix.ath.cx

I get the error:

[martinfst]

Maybe you're making the modifications to the config file apache2 is not using? See httpd -Vfor the initial config file and work from there.

[gabrix]

What's that httpd -V it is apache2 in charge ....

[martinfst]

Yes, and httpd is the name of the Apache(2) program actually running. You will see when you execute the command.

[falko]

And i keep on getting this error:

root@www:~# apache2ctl restart
[Sun Feb 04 15:02:00 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.4:0 has no VirtualHosts
That warning is ok, it just means that there is no virtual host on the IP address 192.168.1.4.

[gabrix]

My virtual hosts are configured just like as you see in my first post and instead of fqdn there are ips as you sayd so it's not ok !!!
root@www:~# httpd -V
bash: httpd: command not found

[martinfst]

So what's the output of apache2ctl -V then?

[gabrix]

This has worked :
root@www:~# apache2ctl -V

[martinfst]

So you use -D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="/etc/apache2/apache2.conf"for you config file. Good. In your 1st post you showed us (part of?) this file. Can you check if you have a line reading
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/[^.#]*in this apache2.conf file?

[gabrix]

Here it is:
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/[^.#]*
And this is the virtualhost file:

What exactly is the problem right now? Don't your sites work now?

[frgomes]

If you are behind a NAT/firewall, probably your webserver has a local IP address (probably 192.168.xxx.xxx) and your router/firewall is responsible for forwarding incoming requests to your webserver.

In this situation, you have a public IP address for your www.yourdomain.com but, in fact, Apache has to accept requests in your local interface instead of your public IP address (assigned to your router/firewall in fact).

Try something like this in your /etc/hosts:



127.0.0.1 localhost

# these lines MUST be kept otherwise Apache2 fail serving these addresses
192.168.1.2 subdomain11.yourdomain1.com
192.168.1.2 subdomain12.yourdomain1.com
192.168.1.2 subdomain13.yourdomain1.com
192.168.1.2 subdomain21.yourdomain2.com
192.168.1.2 subdomain22.yourdomain2.com
192.168.1.2 subdomain23.yourdomain2.com


# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts


Enjoy :-)

I have done this the problem remains !!!!

[tftd]

Hello there ..
I have the same problem. I'm reading almost everything in the network about it and still under apache 1.3.37 it doesn't work.

My NameVirtualHost is the IP of the machine. For example

NameVirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80

<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80>
Documen Root /somewhere/subdomain
ServerName www.subdomain.mydomain.com
ErrorLog logs/bla.error_log
</VirtualHost>


And I get the error:

[Fri Mar 23 02:25:42 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80 has no VirtualHosts
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd started

[falko]

My NameVirtualHost is the IP of the machine. For example

NameVirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80

<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80>
Documen Root /somewhere/subdomain
ServerName www.subdomain.mydomain.com
ErrorLog logs/bla.error_log
</VirtualHost>

For Apache 1.3, it must be like this:

NameVirtualHost 123.123.123.123

<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123>
Documen Root /somewhere/subdomain
ServerName www.subdomain.mydomain.com
ErrorLog logs/bla.error_log
</VirtualHost>
