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 and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results [Mon Feb 07 11:07:27 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts VirtualHost configuration: wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers: *:* is a NameVirtualHost default server benden.pern (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:1) port 80 namevhost benden.pern (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:1) port * namevhost Kingsclere (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/Kingsclere:4) port * namevhost KingsclereHistory (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/KingsclereHistory:4) port * namevhost StartxLimited (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/StartxLimited:4) 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 -- John Lewis Debian & the GeneWeb genealogical data server
