warning message

**joe672** · August 22nd, 2013

when restarting apache 2 i get the message

[warn] The Alias directive in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf at line 240 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias.

line 240 is

Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin

any help is appreciated

bizarre.
Someone else who knows Ubuntu's http file structure better than I will be along to offer some assistance.

Don't do anything drastic.

phpmyadmin should have added a conf file to Apache. Did you add that Alias yourself?

Seeing as it is a [warn], I don't think it will hurt anything to leave it alone, especially if everything is working now.

You could try commenting out the alias in apache2.conf and restarting apache and seeing it the warn goes away and if it does, see if you can access phpmyadmin ok.
