Re: Re: how do I *define* a default virtual host

[Igor Cicimov <icicimov@xxxxxxxxx>]

What about defining the default VH by using the _default_ _expression_. Like this

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
ServerName 
ServerAlias
.
.
.
</VirtualHost>

I always put my default VirtualHost directly into the httpd.conf file, just
before the Include line.

I'd say this way it's always unclear which is the default vhost. As you
have to dig through <config_file> instead of just issuing a `cat
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*` or just `ls`.

apachectl -S

As the example shows, there's also no easy way of disabling the vhost
on-the-fly  (ie: rm <symlink>). ;-)

I've never needed to disabled vhosts completely like that.

However, I thought if you had NameVirtualHost set and had no Vhosts directives that was an error in configuration.

Great, thanks. I never noticed the show switch '-S'. That's handy.

For disabling vhosts: it happens from time to time, when you administer several sites with different mandants, white label stuff and alike....
