i've just inherited a server ubuntu 10.04 running already tomcat on port 80.so apache 2 /etc/apache2/ports.conf has Listen 8858.

i pointed my subdomain let's say admin.domain.com to the ip of that box so xx.xx.xx.xx:8858 and admin.domain.com:8858 both sends me to the root file "it works"

so i did create under /var/www/vhots/admin.domain.com/htdocs and /var/www/vhots/admin.domain.com/log my first config looks is below and that basically after reloading and restarting the apache2 gives me this error

VirtualHost *:8858 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results httpd (pid 7466?) not running

###/etc/apache2/apache2.cong NameVirtualHost * #NameVirtualHost *:8858 <VirtualHost *> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost 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> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg.

LogLevel warn CustomLog /var/www/vhosts/admin.domain.com/log/access.log combined ServerSignature On </VirtualHost>

So after reading this i've uncommented NameVirtualHost *:8858 that i initially put there making me have both NameVirtualHost * and NameVirtualHost *:8858 now i have a warn message but then the server refuse to start

NameVirtualHost *:8858 has no VirtualHosts httpd (pid 27536?) not running [warn] NameVirtualHost *:8858 has no VirtualHosts [fail]

How can i get it up? Thanks for reading this

If you already have a Tomcat running on port 80, you can't attach Apache to same port. HTTP URL without a port, like http://admin.domain.com, assumes the port is 80.

So, in order to make your site accessible without a port (:8858) you'd need to move Tomcat to another port.

There's another solution if you have 2 IP addresses on the same server, for example x.x.x.1 and x.x.x.2. Then point Tomcat to first address and Apache to second with:

# Apache configuration NameVirtualHost x.x.x.2:80 <VirtualHost x.x.x.2:80> #Your site configuration </virtualHost>

In that case don't forget to repoint your DNS entries to correctly.

  • thanks for clarifying things up. No i don't have a second ip.So i will do with 8858.Now any clue on how to get the virtualhost up? Commented Aug 1, 2012 at 10:13
  • Just remove VirtualHost * configuration and NameVirtualHost *. Uncomment NameVirtualHost *:8858 and that should be it. Commented Aug 1, 2012 at 11:31
