Checkout http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/co ... irtualhost you put the ip in the virtualhost instead of * you also will want to check out if it's listening on the ip which is in /etc/apache2/ports.conf i.e. Listen 72.14.179.185:80 and NameVirtualHost 72.14.179.185:80

I see another clue in the contents of ports.conf, specifically about having to do certain things when upgrading from Etch:

# If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
# have to change the VirtualHost statement in
# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
# This is also true if you have upgraded from before 2.2.9-3 (i.e. from
# Debian etch). See /usr/share/doc/apache2.2-common/NEWS.Debian.gz and
# README.Debian.gz

NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
# If you add NameVirtualHost *:443 here, you will also have to change
# the VirtualHost statement in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
# to <VirtualHost *:443>
# Server Name Indication for SSL named virtual hosts is currently not
# supported by MSIE on Windows XP.
Listen 443
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
Listen 443
</IfModule>

So far, I'm stumped. It might make more sense for me to start at the beginning with a new Squeeze profile, and get the web sites up and running before doing anything else.

Thanks again!

OK, I got the virtual server working! (I had neglected to restart and reload the apache server. I think that was the problem. I also carefully followed the steps outlined at http://library.linode.com/web-servers/a ... al-hosting)

I do have a question: when I did reload the server, I got these warnings:

root@everything:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Restarting web server: apache2apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[Thu Dec 15 15:35:30 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
... waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[Thu Dec 15 15:35:32 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
.

I'm not quite sure what the warning means. I do see content from the web site in my browser now, so I know it's working.
