<VirtualHost _default_:*> giving the problem to start httpd process.

[Narendra Verma <narendra.verma@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

My configuration like this :

 

<VirtualHost _default_:3080>

     ………….

    ServerName impetus-887.impetus.co.in:3080

    …………..

</VirtualHost>     

 

When I start ./apachectl start then it gives :

 

-bash-3.00$ ./apachectl start

Syntax error on line 410 of /export/home/qa_eng/Apache/install/Apache2.2.8/conf/httpd.conf:

Could not resolve address '255.255.255.255' -- check resolver configuration.

-bash-3.00$

                            

But when I configure it like :

 

<VirtualHost impetus-887.impetus.co.in :3080>

     ………….

    ServerName impetus-887.impetus.co.in:3080

    …………..

</VirtualHost>     

 

Then it runs successfully.

 

So question is why this ‘_default_’ option is taking '255.255.255.255’ this address instead of real address of apache installation machine.

 

Any help?

 

Thanks Narendra
