Server problems: Apache2 upgrade problem

  • 772

I have just been running aptitude update on my debian server via webmin when the install failed, Now my Apache2 server isn't running properly as it isn't recognizing the "namevirtualhost" directive, all the domains hosted on the server are being redirected to the default server. Luckily the other services like Postfix and Dovecot are fine.

What should I do to fix this problem?

Thanks, RayQuang

Update 1: The only errors that I receive when restarting apache are:

rayquang:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload

debian apache-2.2 update

  1. Best Answer

    By the looks of things that's a Debian or Ubuntu install. Edit /etc/apache2/ports.conf and replace:

    NameVirtualHost *:80

    with

    NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.100:80

    Then reload Apache. You can also use apache2ctl -S to check that your vhosts are setup correctly.

  2. Note that OpenSuSE uses listen.conf instead of ports.conf, but the same solution works.
