Go on, have a guess
It's not an error, just a warning and an inconsequential one at that. It simply means that Apache has a NameVirtualHost entry for an IP address on your server, but no domains are using it yet. It's not a problem.

check in your /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log for the error when you fail to restart it.

Unless im misunderstanding you here i have to disagree:


root@**** [/usr/local/apache/bin]# ./apachectl configtest
[Wed Apr 4 18:03:51 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost 72.232.87.125:80 has no VirtualHosts
[Wed Apr 4 18:03:51 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost 72.232.87.124:80 has no VirtualHosts
[Wed Apr 4 18:03:51 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost 72.232.87.122:80 has no VirtualHosts
Syntax OK

72.232.87.122 is the main shared IP address for one of my servers and has at least 50 domains using it.

Also, apologies for the "post on an old thread thing" im in the UK and got the dd/mm/yy - mm/dd/yy mixed up.

That's probably happening because you have lines with:

NameVirtualHost 72.232.87.125:80

as well as:

NameVirtualHost 72.232.87.125

Since cPanel VirtualHost containers use the latter format and not the former you see those errors. So, they're also inconsequential and nothing to worry about.
