No NameVirtualHost in httpd conf

NodeWorx Bugs

During a /etc/init.d/httpd restart, the following is returned:

Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Flushing IPC Semaphores [ OK ]
Starting httpd: [Sat Sep 17 23:38:25 2005] [warn] VirtualHost 193.238.25.205:80 overlaps with VirtualHost 193.238.25.205:80, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive
[Sat Sep 17 23:38:25 2005] [warn] VirtualHost 193.238.25.205:80 overlaps with VirtualHost 193.238.25.205:80, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive

And indeed, NameVirtualHost argument found in any of the httpd config file.
Apache does need NameVirtualHost to function properly if it wants to see the difference between sites on the same IP…

There should be a file
/etc/httpd/conf.d/namevirtualhost.conf
With lines like

NameVirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx

One line per shared IP address.

I did now make a /etc/httpd/conf.d/namevirtualhost.conf with just 2 entries:
NameVirtualHost 193.238.25.205:80
NameVirtualHost 193.238.25.206:80

Although I asume I should also add the :443 entries to here for ssl ?

A dedicated IP address is required for SSL so no, you don’t need to add the :443 entries.

Why would a ded. ip be needed with iWorx ??

We’ve used ssl on shared ip’s on our plesk boxes and still do… just when you use a ssl certificate, then yes… you need a ded. ip.
