apache virtual host configuration with ssl

Question

All I wanted to do this evening was to install phpmyadmin on my debian lenny web server, and somehow after messing around with ssl and trying hundreds of different combinations of everything i can think of to get the server functional again, i got nothing. I can't think of anything that i changed that would have caused virtual hosts to no longer work, but now all of the websites that are hosted on the server are inaccessible. This is what i get after I try to restart apache:

**After running /etc/init.d/apache2 restart Restarting web server: apache2[Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:443 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:443 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts [Sat Aug 18 19:59:02 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts failed! 

This is what one of the site-available files looks like:

NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email protected] ServerName www.site.us ServerAlias site.us # Indexes + Directory Root DirectoryIndex index.html index.php DocumentRoot /var/www/site.us/ #CGI Directory ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/site.us/cgi-bin/ <Location /cgi-bin> Options +ExecCGI </Location> #Log Files ErrorLog /var/www/site.us/logs/error.log CustomLog /var/www/site.us/logs/access.log combined </VirtualHost> 

If anyone has any suggestions on something to check please let me know because I'm at a loss right now

Edit This is the result of running: /etc/apache2 tail -f /var/www/site.us/logs/error.log

Answer 1

Make sure your sites are linked into the sites-enabled directory. Apache only includes sites-enabled.

There is a convenience command for enabling sites:

a2ensite site.com 

Also see man a2ensite.

You might also want to have a look at /etc/apache2/ports.conf. This file defines the listening ports and possibly also enables named virtual hosts for some/all ports.
