created site with IPs still get "NameVirtualHost has no VirtualHosts"

[paul_xedos]

Hi,
I realise this is a commonly asked question but I've run out of ideas on this one despite trawling the forums and trying various suggestions

I'm runnnig ISPconfig3 with 2 sites that use IP addresses in their config. All resolve, none point to the correct site and on httpd stop/start receive the NameVirtualHost has no virtualhosts error

httpd.conf

#NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost 78.46.106.188:80
NameVirtualHost 78.46.106.188:443
Include /etc/httpd/conf/sites-enabled/

Syntax OK

I've also tried adding a default site with wildcard instead of IP address to stop the error (which it does) but it does not stop the the other sites from not picking up their correct Docuement Root locations

Thanks

NameVirtualHost has no virtualhosts error

Thats absolutely ok and not an error. It just means that you can assign SSL certificates to some of the IP addresses.

Hi Till,
Thanks for the reply. The problem is more an issue of the correct sites not being pointed to with apache not finding http://glebegallery.com and instead falling through to the lower in the alphabet site. If I add a site called default.com everything points to that. Pointing the site to the IP address does not seemed to have helped on this occasion
Thanks
Paul

1) Check the DNS Records of all sites and ensure that they point to the exact same IP address that you selected for that domain in the website settings.
2) Do not mix * and IP's in the website settings on the same server. Either all websites have to use * or all websites have to use the IP.

Till,

Thanks for your reply. I don't know how you manage to answer so many questions but I'm very glad that you do as that was the fix.

Thanks
Paul

I only have one site, and when i changed it from * to <ip_address>, the domain points everything to the root server file in /var/www/ instead of to the appropriate /var/www/client1/web1/web folder

This happens when apache does not find a matching vhost for the website, e.g. when the IP address that you selected for the website does not match with the IP address of the dns records. If your server is behind a router, then the dns has to point to the external IP address instead and you have to select the IP address in the website settings where your router forwards port 80 and 443 to.
