when my new apache server on Fedora Core 2 starts, i get the error message " VirtualHost overlap on port 80"

I am using name virtual hosting.


<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@primary.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName www.primary.com
ServerAlias primary.com *.primary.com
ErrorLog logs/www.primary.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@lubuto.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/virtualhost02
ServerName www.secondary.org
ServerAlias secondary.org *.secondary.org
ErrorLog logs/www.secondary.org-error_log
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

i found a solution in this forum (see link below) but did not understand it. It refernced a directive that is not in the httpd.conf file (ServerPath ). Can someone explain how to fix this?
post suggesting solution

Change the DocumentRoot for the second virtual server to something like: /var/www/virtualhost02 since /var/www/html is the DocumentRoot for the first virtual server (which means that everything under that dir belongs to that server)

thanks but that didn't work.
i had an apache 2.047 server configured in just this way i described for over a year with no problem (i lost my configuration when my server crashed):.

regardless, i did the correction you suggested and get the same resutls.

for example, www.substantis.com and www.lubuto.org resolve to the primary.com directory.

Do you have a: before any definition of virtual hosts?

See: NameVirtualHost Directive

I'm not at my machine but I will be tonight and report back.

here are the entries i was missing:

# Ensure that Apache listens on port 80
Listen 80

# Listen for virtual host requests on all IP addresses
NameVirtualHost *:80
