Currently I have only one website setup (http:/startx.co.uk) and as far
as I can tell by looking at the /etc/apache2 settings I didn't need to
do anything much at the time I originally got it running.
I notice I have this file /var/www/index.php
<?php
header("Location: http://startx.co.uk/Kingsclere")uot;);
exit;
?>
which presumably points to /var/www/Kingsclere which contains all the
files for the website (I should point out my memory is hopeless these
days and I cannot remember what I did when I set it it and like most?
people I didn't document setting up the VPS other than listing the
packages I installed on top of the basic etch system)
Now to the reason for writing, it looks likely that I will need to
add another website to the current apache2 setup.
A friend of mine needs to cease running a website which complements my
"Kingsclere Families". We don't want to lose all the historical stuff
which is on my friends site so I have offered to host the website for
him but want to keep the current name of his site so I will have
Kingsclere Families and Kingsclere History sites.
I browsed the web for instructions and ended up using this site
www.debian-administration.org/article/412/Hosting_multiple_websites_with_Ap…
it is a bit old but it mostly works on a test setup on my local desktop
machine and I can load the three test sites with the URL
http://localhost/sitename
However I get this error message:
benden:/home/jayell# apache2ctl -S
[Mon Feb 07 11:07:27 2011] [error] VirtualHost *:80 -- mixing * ports

Syntax OK
is the problem cased by having a default server which presumably was
setup automatically and based on the hostname. There is nothing
in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/@000-default which refers to 'benden'
If I remove that file then I cannot access the other 3 vhosts
apologies for the long posting but I need to be sure of what I am doing
before I try doing anything on my VPS
