Great, that made it, but I'd also like to understand what happend. The docs say: ServerName Directive Description:Hostname and port that the server uses to identify itself Syntax:ServerName [scheme://]fully-qualified-domain-name[:port] Context:server config, virtual host Status:Core Module:core Compatibility:In version 2.0, this directive supersedes the functionality of the Port directive from version 1.3. And the virtual host-examples say: <VirtualHost 10.1.2.3> ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx DocumentRoot /www/docs/host.foo.com ServerName host.foo.com ErrorLog logs/host.foo.com-error_log TransferLog logs/host.foo.com-access_log </VirtualHost> So what point am I missing here? Does there alway have to be a ServerName specified OUTSIDE the <VirtualHost>-spec?
