This produced the expected error messages. Also the following seems correct and simple: # ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jun 7 2011 000-default -> \ ../sites-available/default And to answer to Eric's suggestion, no, there's no accidental second NameVirtualHost directive: # grep NameVirtual /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/* NameVirtualHost *:80 > You can verify with apachectl -S and apachectl -V Good idea. But also here I cannot see anything anormal. Maybe somebody else does: # apachectl -S [Tue Apr 10 10:50:43 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts VirtualHost configuration: wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers: *:80 is a NameVirtualHost default server dsbe.jana (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:15) port 80 namevhost dsbe.jana (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:15) port 80 namevhost wsl.jana (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:66) port 80 namevhost aze.jana (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:87) Syntax OK # apachectl -V Server version: Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) Server built: Sep 25 2011 22:18:56 Server's Module Magic Number: 20051115:24 Server loaded: APR 1.4.2, APR-Util 1.3.9 Compiled using: APR 1.4.2, APR-Util 1.3.9 Architecture: 32-bit Server MPM: Prefork threaded: no forked: yes (variable process count) Server compiled with.... -D APACHE_MPM_DIR="server/mpm/prefork" -D APR_HAS_SENDFILE -D APR_HAS_MMAP -D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled) -D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE -D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE -D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD -D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS -D DYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT=128 -D HTTPD_ROOT="/etc/apache2" -D SUEXEC_BIN="/usr/lib/apache2/suexec" -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG="/var/run/apache2.pid" -D DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD="logs/apache_runtime_status" -D DEFAULT_LOCKFILE="/var/run/apache2/accept.lock" -D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log" -D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="mime.types" -D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="apache2.conf" # Best regards, Luc (still locked, and still hoping for your ideas) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
