debian lenny – just make sure there is ONLY one instance of
NameVirtualHost *:80


and you have receivers for it (ie virtual host entries)

the definitive place to put NameVirtualHost is in ports.conf

the message appear because ports.conf not configure.

If you configure VirtualHost with ip ex.

Then you must configure at ports.conf with same setting.
ports.conf
NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80
Listen 80

I also have same problem. But after I change this setting, that message dissapear.

Good lUck

Thanks.

It was a great help. You would believe how many different opinions there are on which is the right syntax for VirtualHost in Apache.

Thanks again.

This warning will also be emitted if there are multiple NameVirtualHost entries.

In the basic install of Apache 2 on Debian 5 (Lenny) I see the NameVirtualHost in:

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

and

/etc/apache2/ports.conf

So at least this out-of-the-box install will emit this warning every time ‘/etc/init.d/apache2 reload’ is called to check the configuration files.

If the warning bothers you, just comment out the entry in ports.conf and don’t add new ones; say, from an example site template pasted into a new configuration file.
