As other said, edit your HOSTS file. You need to add the host name of the site you are creating to point to 127.0.0.1 too. Let say your *:8082 is called website1, then added the following to your HOSTS file: 127.0.0.1 website1 leave the localhost, and just add the above line. Edit your <VirttualHost> to read ServerName website1 Also you should add the ServerAlias website1 on the line after ServerName. Add Quotes to the DocRoot Path Should look like: NameVirtualHost *:8082 <VirtualHost *:8082> ServerAdmin email at domain.com # this is optional ServerName website1 ServerAlias website1 DocumentRoot "/home/craig/www/wbm" ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/example.com-error" # you had a # typeo /ver CustomLog "/var/log/apache2/example.com-access" combined </VirtualHost> > > > apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName Don't stress about this one. It's not uncommon for the server name not to match the site. Do you want all the apache site to run on port 8082? If so change the Listen (in httpd.conf) to read Listen 8082 Make sure you are loading the vhosts_alias_module in httpd.conf Make sure you changed the permission of /home/craig/www/wbm to match the User/Group in httpd.conf Not sure how apache installed on your distro, but if the vhost-config is separate from the httpd.conf make sure you are including the VirtHost conf file in httpd.conf Easiest thing to do if just send us your complete httpd.conf (or what ever they call it on your distro & any other related .conf files) It will be much easier to get this going for you if we can see it all. > [Fri Jun 01 00:51:20 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:0 has no VirtualHosts > [Fri Jun 01 00:51:20 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts > apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName > [Fri Jun 01 00:51:20 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:0 has no VirtualHosts > [Fri Jun 01 00:51:20 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts > Action 'start' failed. > The Apache error log may have more information. > > >
