I have successfully set up two virtual servers on my Debian Squeeze Linode. My browser sees both sites, and both are operating normally. But when I restart Apache, I get this:

root@everything: /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Reloading web server config: apache2apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

Can anyone tell me why I get this warning?

Here is one of the two files, bookgenius.org, that's in the sites-available directory:

<VirtualHost bookgenius.org:80>

#<VirtualHost 72.14.179.185:80>

# Admin email, Server Name (domain name) and any aliases
ServerAdmin morgan@bookgenius.org
ServerName bookgenius.org
ServerAlias www.bookgenius.org www.bookgenius.com bookgenius.com


# Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
DirectoryIndex index.html
DocumentRoot /var/www/bookgenius.org/html/

# CGI Directory
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/bookgenius.org/cgi-bin/
<Location /cgi-bin>
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
</Location>

# Custom log file locations
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /var/www/bookgenius.org/logs/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/bookgenius.org/logs/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Thanks,

Somewhere in your config, you have "NameVirtualHost *:80" (a commonly sensible default), but you don't have "<VirtualHost *:80>" anywhere. This is usually human error, but won't directly break things. Every distinct <VirtualHost $BLAH> should (must?) have a corresponding NameVirtualHost $BLAH, and likewise, every NameVirtualHost $BLAH should have at least one <VirtualHost $BLAH>.

("apache2ctl -S" could explain what it is trying to do better than I can.)

Many thanks -- I'll check my config!

cpmorgan, if you use vim as your editor, you can open the apache config and type ? (question mark) then \*:80 after Press enter.

Your command should look like

?\*:80

This should make your job easier
