I get this error every time I install apache web-server in an ubuntu machine. We use LAMP stack at Interviewstreet and this error was nagging me all the this while.<\/p>\n

The error message shows up something like this.<\/p>\n


\nroot@interviewstreet:~# \/etc\/init.d\/apache2 restart
\n* Restarting web server apache2 apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using interviewstreet.com for ServerName
\n[warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts ... waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using interviewstreet.com for ServerName
\n[warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [ OK ]
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

After some googling, I found the actual solution at http:\/\/serverfault.com\/questions\/1405\/apache2-startup-warning-namevirtualhost-80-has-no-virtualhosts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The reason why this happens is because of having NameVirtualHost in more than one place. In this case, it occurs at 2 different files, sites-available\/default and ports.conf.<\/p>\n

So, this is how we fixed this issue.<\/p>\n

1. Removed the line “NameVirtualHost *” from sites-available\/default.
\n2. Changed “NamedVirtualHost *:80” to “NamedVirtualHost *” in ports.conf<\/p>\n

Done. That fixes the problem. Now apache restart shows something like this.<\/p>\n
