Yes, just posting a quick comment to tell you that this post fixed something that I thought was beyond me. This issue was preventing me from upgrading my little Mac mini to Snow Leopard – it’s been stuck on TIGER forever! I hit the problem when I upgraded my MBP, messed with it for a while, then gave up because it wasn’t as important as keeping my sites up on my Mac mini.

So, thank you very much. I don’t know how I missed this post in my hundreds of Google searches previously but I did not miss it tonight.

This post is STILL helping people! I’d been dealing with this for months by commenting out virtual hosts in my httpd-vhosts.conf file. It feels so good not to have to do that anymore!

My server was ubuntu 9.10 x64. I installed the ubuntu desktop, and I installed webgui 1.500 and created virtual hosts under the server tab of webgui. Use the default settings except for the server name put in your .com and fill in the document root for where you html files, etc are. It creates the proper files when you click apply changes on the server tab, then stop apache2, then start apache2. The virtualhosts must be using the * apparently. It places the proper files for you in sites-available and sites-enabled.

[...] Thanks to Alex King for the solution to fix Apache 2 only serving the first virtual host. [...]

I have scoured hundreds of virtual host configuration tutorials today, and this is the first one to get it right. Your work is absolutely appreciated.

Holy crap. Like many others, I just spent HOURS scattered across a few days trying to figure this out. Thanks for the post! THIS is what user generated content is all about!

I spent days on this after upgrading. Glad I found this site and advice it help. So this is what worked for me…

1. set hostname foo.dev in hosts file

127.0.0.1 foo.dev

2. set virtual host in httpd-vhosts.conf file

NameVirtualHost *:80

DocumentRoot “/www/foo”
ServerName foo.dev

Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

3. uncomment the Virtual hosts Include in the httpd.conf

Also you may want to check out VirtualHostX. I have not tried it yet but it looks interesting.

I had followed all of this advice, working on a Mac OS X 10.5 machine, and was completely flustered. Finally, one of the links above said that sometimes things get stale, and you just need a magical reboot to get things working.

Sure enough, despite hours of running apachectl, all I had to do was a reboot of my machine for it to see the new settings.

Well, at least Macs are easy the other 99% of the time.
