Unbinding an IP address from Apache

In the httpd.conf the "ServerName" and the "NameVirtualHost" parameters helps to bind it to a particular IP.

 

In httpd.conf you should explicitly enumerate on what ips should apache listen:

Code:

Listen 127.0.0.1:80
Listen 111.222.111.222:80 


<IfDefine SSL>
Listen 111.222.111.222:443
</IfDefine>

Apache will not respond to ip-s that you did not list and you can bind them to thttpd

 

For NameVirtualHost I have:

NameVirtualHost 111.222.111.222:80
....
(you enumerate all the ips from the Listen directives except for 127.0.0.1)


And your virtual hosts should look like

<VirtualHost 111.222.111.222>

or if SSL:

<VirtualHost 111.222.111.222:443>

No * anywhere

 

Hi,

Please double check your apache configuration file. Also check whether there are any include files and if so check that files too. Once I faced this issue and on checking I found a file /usr/local/apache/conf/test.conf included in to httpd.conf which was causing the problems.

Best regards,
