    NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

    Hello I'm getting this error (NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts) when I try to restart Apache2 on my VPS webserver running Ubuntu 8.10. It was working fine as of Saturday (I did not check it at all yesterday) and suddenly it's not working this morning. I cannot get to my site at all, it just asks me to download a file.

    Here's my VH file under sites-enabled:

    Code:
    # domain: fixmyinternetnow.com
    # public: /var/www/public_html/fixmyinternetnow.com/
    
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    
            # Admin email, Server Name (domain name) and any aliases
            ServerAdmin rob@fixmyinternetnow.com
            ServerName fixmyinternetnow.com
            ServerAlias www.fixmyinternetnow.com
    
            # Index file and Document Root (where public files are located)
            DirectoryIndex
            DocumentRoot /var/www/public_html/fixmyinternetnow.com
            <Directory />
            AllowOverride All
            </Directory>
    
            # Custom log file locations
            LogLevel warn
            ErrorLog /var/www/public_html/fixmyinternetnow.com/logs/error.log
            CustomLog /var/www/public_html/fixmyinternetnow.com/logs/access.log combined
    
    </VirtualHost>
    And my ports.conf:

    Code:
    NameVirtualHost *:80
    Listen 80
    
    <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
        # SSL name based virtual hosts are not yet supported, therefore no
        # NameVirtualHost statement here
        Listen 443
    </IfModule>
    Plus the end of my Apache2.conf file:

    Code:
    # Include the virtual host configurations:
    Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
    
    NameVirtualHost *:80
    
    <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
            NameVirtualHost *:443
    </IfModule>
    ServerName localhost
    I've searched around the forums, but none of the fixes seem to work for me. The weirdest part is it was working fine as of two days ago and I haven't made any changes to the server. I'm also the only one who has access to this server. Let me know if there's any additional info I should post. Thanks in advance!

    Re: NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

    A little update to this problem. After talking to a friend I commented out the NameVirtualHost *:80 line in my apache2.conf file. This gets rid of the error on restarting apache2. However, I still cannot access the web page. Not sure if I mentioned this before, but when I go to my site the browser asks me to save or open a file and each time it's a different file. For example SzlInRuG.part or HUUD1OEs.part. Anyone have any ideas??

    Re: NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

    Here's my config settings,

    sites-available
    Code:
    <VirtualHost *>
    ...
    ...
    </VirtualHost>
    Then in your ports.conf, change
    Code:
    NameVirtualHost *:80
    to
    Code:
    NameVirtualHost *
    The page trying to save seems odd. Is it a php file? is php installed?

    Re: NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

    here is what you need to do:
    go to your /etc/apache2/sites-available

    make a file like this yourdomain.com.conf with this:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName yourdomain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/yourdomain/
    </VirtualHost>

    then go to /etc/apache2/ports.conf

    and put in Listen your ip address or router ip:80 like this(Listen 192.168.1.5:80)

    then go to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

    put in your ServerName yourservername note you will put this at the end of the file.


    after you do all this type this in command line sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

    also you need to edit your root document under: /etc/apache2/sites-available/default like this:

    NameVirtualHost *:80
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName name of your server
    DocumentRoot /var/www/
    <Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
    </Directory>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
    <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>

    Alias /fckeditor/ /usr/share/fckeditor/
    <Directory "/usr/share/fckeditor/">
    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
    ServerSignature On

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>

    </VirtualHost>



    also this is how I got my server currently setup.

    Hi,
    I think you wud have solved the problem by now, but next time if the error (asking to save the file as ***.part), just try this:

    I can confirm this worked for me! Thank you for this wonderful post!

    Re: NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

    I was getting this error because I had two NameVirtualHost lines, one in my sites-enabled file and one in my ports.conf file.

    Try grepping for this:

    Code:
    jamie@bible:/etc/apache2$ grep NameVir * -R
    ports.conf:NameVirtualHost *:80
    ports.conf:    # If you add NameVirtualHost *:443 here, you will also have to change
    sites-enabled/bible:#NameVirtualHost *

    Re: NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

    Just confirming, I too had similar problem, which got resolved by removing the duplicate NameVirtualHost *:80 line (removed it from port.conf).

    Probably the other solution essentially fixes this.

    Thanks all for this useful thread.

    just remove

    NameVirtual host *:80 on "ports.conf"
