difference between _default_:* and *:* in VirtualHost Context

difference between _default_:* and *:* in VirtualHost Context

Ubuntu same as you I tried assigning an IP to one of the vhosts (example2.com) and it now overrides the default vhost. Seems this is just how Apache works. A * cannot override an IP address.

Ubuntu same as you I tried assigning an IP to one of the vhosts (example2.com) rather than <VirtualHost *:80> and it now overrides the default vhost. Seems this is just how Apache works. A * cannot override an IP address. curl 192.168.1.143 now gives me example2.com instead of the catchall page.

Best of luck
