How
find the correct IP

How
find the correct IP

You don't have assign an IP address for your ethernet card, but only for your wireless.
You can use the wlan IP address if you want, or use a wildcard:
Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and use
and

<VirtualHost 196.219.240.236>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /home
</VirtualHost>

------------------------------
root@nameserver [~]# NameVirtualHost 196.219.240.236:80
bash: NameVirtualHost: command not found
root@nameserver [~]# NameVirtualHost localhost:80
bash: NameVirtualHost: command not found
root@nameserver [~]# <VirtualHost localhost:80>
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
root@nameserver [~]# <VirtualHost 196.219.240.236:80>
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
root@nameserver [~]# <196.219.240.236:80>
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
root@nameserver [~]# <localhost:80>
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
root@nameserver [~]# localhost:80
bash: localhost:80: command not found
root@nameserver [~]# 196.219.240.236:80
bash: 196.219.240.236:80: command not found
root@nameserver [~]#


root@nameserver [~]# NameVirtualHost *:80
bash: NameVirtualHost: command not found
root@nameserver [~]# <VirtualHost *:80>
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
root@nameserver [~]#

--------------------
It seems that I do not understand

Well, I've already told you not to be impatient. You should read more carefully what we are telling you to do.

These are not commands. They are apache directives you should change in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Open /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, look for NameVirtualHost and edit it to beThen in the same /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, edit <VirtualHost 196.219.240.238> and change it to <VirtualHost *:80>

ok

So true or no

<VirtualHost*:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /home
</VirtualHost>

root@nameserver [~]# hostname
nameserver.iac.lan

Did you also changed NameVirtualHost as above?
You can also set ServerName to nameserver.iac.lan, but that's not important.
After editing NameVirtualHost (and ServerName if you want) in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, try to start the service.

If it doesn't start look at /var/log/httpd/error_log

root@nameserver [~]# service httpd start

You must leave a blank space before the * in <VirtualHost *:80>

<VirtualHost *:80>

Doh, I guess nameserver.iac.lan is not your hostname
Use
and see if it works this way

no thing

so
http://www.centos.org/docs/2/rhl-rg-...tualhosts.html

or
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/vhosts/mass.html

root@nameserver [~]# /etc/init.d/httpd configtest

Could you post httpd.conf?
Use # to put it into CODE tags
