Thank you for the explanation, that does help me to understand. To stop the warning it is easy in your virtual host you have NameVirtualHost for me on the first line of every VirtualHost then <VirtualHost> You just leave NameVirtualHost for the first Virtual Host and delete it for every other host. The warning will stop. I found the answer to stop the warning on this site (I can't find which pages, I apparently bookmarked the wrong) but you should be able to find it somewhere. <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CommonMisconfigurations">http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CommonMisconfigurations</a> That did work, now I can see it from this computer too Thank you very much Meg <div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 5, 2008 10:46 AM, Derek Broughton <<a href="mailto:news@pointerstop.ca">news@pointerstop.ca</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d">Ashley Benton wrote: > I was able to set the computer which the files are on to see that it has > more than one virtual host by adding a line at the end of > /etc/apache2/apache2.conf > "Include the virtual host configuration and listing every virtual host I > wanted." > I deleted the first line NameVirtualHost for the 2 new VirtualHost and > don't have the error message that NameVirtualHost has no host, so > everything seems fine. </div>I think that's only a warning - I get "[warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts" every time I start, I've been unable to get rid of it (and neither has anybody else I've seen via google), and all my vhosts work. <div class="Ih2E3d"> > My problem now is to open this page with another computer on the > network.http://192.168.0.105/www.theswebsite.com </div>That's not how virtual hosts work. Here's what I have: NameVirtualHost * <VirtualHost *> ServerName nagisa ServerAlias <a href="http://nagisa.pointerstop.ca" target="_blank">nagisa.pointerstop.ca</a> ... </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName plonevdc ServerAlias <a href="http://plonevdc.pointerstop.ca" target="_blank">plonevdc.pointerstop.ca</a> ... </VirtualHost> My /etc/hosts has: <a href="http://127.0.0.1" target="_blank">127.0.0.1</a> localhost <a href="http://127.0.2.1" target="_blank">127.0.2.1</a> <a href="http://nagisa.pointerstop.ca" target="_blank">nagisa.pointerstop.ca</a> nagisa <a href="http://127.0.2.2" target="_blank">127.0.2.2</a> <a href="http://plonevdc.pointerstop.ca" target="_blank">plonevdc.pointerstop.ca</a> plonevdc For any other host on the local subnet, /etc/hosts has to include (using your IP): <a href="http://192.168.0.105" target="_blank">192.168.0.105</a> <a href="http://nagisa.pointerstop.ca" target="_blank">nagisa.pointerstop.ca</a> nagisa <a href="http://192.168.0.105" target="_blank">192.168.0.105</a> <a href="http://plonevdc.pointerstop.ca" target="_blank">plonevdc.pointerstop.ca</a> plonevdc [One of these days, I'll get around to figuring out how to put cnames into the DNS on my router so that I don't need that...] Now, you access plonevdc via <a href="http://plonevdc/path" target="_blank">http://plonevdc/path</a> or <a href="http://plonevdc.pointerstop.ca/path" target="_blank">http://plonevdc.pointerstop.ca/path</a> from any machine on my lan. Apache looks at the http headers and sees what was _requested_ and directs to the appropriate vhost. It doesn't care what IP was actually used (unless you manually specify an IP in either NameVirtualHost or <VirtualHost>. That's why it's best not to use NameVirtualHost <a href="http://192.168.0.105" target="_blank">192.168.0.105</a> - this means that all network requests have to come _from_ the external network, and you can't get there via <a href="http://localhost/" target="_blank">http://localhost/</a> - or any name that translates to 127.x.x.x). If you manually specify the IP in the http request, it _never_ goes to the virtual host, because the IP is not given as a ServerAlias in any virtual host spec. -- derek -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
