# BindAddress: You can support virtual hosts with this option. This directive
# is used to tell the server which IP address to listen to. It can either
# contain "*", an IP address, or a fully qualified Internet domain name.
# See also the <VirtualHost> and Listen directives.
BindAddress *

the bind address should be set to something 🙂

NameVirtualHost domain2.com

change that to

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost doamin2.com>
serveradmin admin@domain2.com
documentroot /home/sites/domain2.com/htdocs
servername domain2.com
errorlog /var/log/httpd/domain2.error.log
</VirtualHost>
if you call you site by domain2.com itll not work due to the spelling error in the virtual host best to change it all see my virtual host below to see how it should be done


<VirtualHost *>
serveradmin admin@domain2.com
documentroot /home/sites/domain2.com/htdocs
servername domain2.com
errorlog /var/log/httpd/domain2.error.log
usecanonicalname off
</VirtualHost>


this set up with the namevirtualhost set to * will allow you to add multiple servers the servername directive is what they will respond too.

Hope this helps

Not necessarily, * means the same as 0.0.0.0, INADDR_ANY, all interfaces, etc.

this set up with the namevirtualhost set to * will allow you to add multiple servers the servername directive is what they will respond too.

The * means apache will listen for VirtualHost requests on all addresses, you can replace it with an IP if you have multiple interfaces and only want to have those VHosts on one interface.

does he not want this to be the case? had he asked for certain sites on certain ips thats the response i would have given. dont know if you know harry enfield too well but "you didnt wanna do it like that" 🙂
