Issue is with the config u hve in httpd.conf .Make sure that you have a name to IP entry in /etc/hosts

I have the same issue. Firstly, here is my virtual hosts area of my httpd.conf:

Code:

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
 DocumentRoot /home/[username1]/public_html
 ServerName www.[domain1].com
 ServerAlias [domain1].com
 ScriptAlias /cgi-sys/ /var/www/cgi-sys/
 ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/[username1]/public_html/cgi-bin/
 <Directory "/home/[username1]/public_html/cgi-bin">
  AllowOverride None
  Options None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
 </Directory>
 CustomLog logs/[domain1].com-access_log combined
 ErrorLog logs/[domain1].com-error_log
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
 DocumentRoot /home/[username2]/public_html
 ServerName www.[domain2].info
 ServerAlias [domain2].info
 ScriptAlias /cgi-sys/ /var/www/cgi-sys/
 ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/[username2]/public_html/cgi-bin/
 <Directory "/home/[username2]/public_html/cgi-bin">
  AllowOverride None
  Options None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
 </Directory>
 CustomLog logs/[domain2].info-access_log combined
 ErrorLog logs/[domain2].info-error_log
</VirtualHost>

Secondly, here is my /etc/hosts file:

Code:

127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost
*.*.*.*	[stock name]	[ip with dashes instead of periods]
*.*.*.*	[domain1].com	[username1]
*.*.*.*	[domain2].info	[username2]

I believe that to be correct. Now, I've tried removing the asterisk in the <VirtualHost *> tag and replacing it with <VirtualHost *.*.*.*>, <VirtualHost *.*.*.*:80> and <VirtualHost *:80> all to no avail. Here's my current error:

Code:

[root@mcupples htdocs]# service httpd stop
Stopping httpd: service ht                                 [  OK  ]
[root@mcupples htdocs]# service httpd start
Starting httpd: [Wed Apr 25 11:38:56 2007] [error] VirtualHost _default_:443 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address i
s not supported, proceeding with undefined results
                                                           [  OK  ]

That is with just the <VirtualHost *> tag. I get different errors depending on which variation I use - hopefully I'm just missing a minor thing.

Thanks,
Matt
