    Hi everybody.

    I gracefully rebooted my server tonight and since then Apache doesn't want to know to start.

    I get this message when I attempt to restart the service in WHM:

    When I run /usr/sbin/httpd configtest I get this line repeated a lot of times:

    Needless to say, I have tried to recompile Apache a couple of times from WHM, the second time forcing using the default config option (last resort).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    [Mon Aug 9 00:19:19 2004] [warn] VirtualHost 66.98.xxx.xx:80 overlaps with Virt ualHost 66.98.xxx.xx:80, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtua lHost directive
    Syntax OK

    Edit your httpd.conf located at /usr/local/apache/conf/ and check what the NameVirtualHost directive says. Sounds like you need to add one using:
    NameVirtualHost "IP address":80
    If you can't figure it out, post the relevant portion of the httpd.conf and someone can probably figure out what your problem is.

    Thanks, I did understand that on my own, looking on Google.

    I managed to add the NameVirtualHost line as you suggest and now I don't get all those lines anymore.

    I did eventually get an error when running the configtest saying that /dev/null was invalid.

    I put a # before the line mentioning /dev/null in httpd.conf and now Apache works at last!!!

    However, I had to kill a subdomain that redirected to a particular IP address and recreate it.

    Is there any way that I can find anywhere traces of where it used to point to in any log?

    Thank you

    Assume you have checked /usr/local/apache/log files and also /usr/local/apache/conf for any old httpd.conf files?
