Ubuntu apache2 virtualhost setup problems

If you are getting error messages when starting apache2 like

“Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName”
or
“[warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 80, the first has precedence”

you need to make sure a couple of lines are in your /etc/apache2/httpd.confÂ file.

ServerName localhost
NameVirtualHost *:80

Apache SSL IfDefine – Error

frank — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 23:23:28 +0000

Just encountered a problem that was painful to deal with while configuring SSL on apache for linux.Â The httpd.conf had a tag, , before all the SSL configuration lines.Â In order for any commands within and to be loaded on service start, you must use the -D attribute like this.

$ service httpd -D SSL -k start

Also, I found that restart does not always take new changes to my conf files.

$ service httpd -D SSL -k restart

Instead, use the stop then the start command to be sure.

$service httpd -D SSL -k stop
$service httpd -D SSL -k start

That was a source of much pain while working on this particular server.
