How to setup name based virtual host using yast in open suse?

Question

Im trying to setup virtual host under open suse. Im in Yast->Http server, when i check "Determine Request Server by HTTP Headers" I got error message To use name-based virtual you must designate the ip adress on the server(...) I did some googling and according to what i found i uncommmented the NameVirtualHost *:80 line in /etc/apache2/listen.conf and restarted apache but it id not help. How can i setup it propely(maybe I should do it through yast without manually editing conf files but i can't find that option)

Answer 1

The problem I encountered was occurring because I have NameVirtualHost *:80 in listen.conf and example.com:80 in ServerName but they must be exactly the same.

PS it's still not working as expected when I set NameVirtualHost example.com:80 and then try to add server with ServerName example.com:80 I still get mentioned error message. Of course I got example.com in my hosts file pointing to 127.0.0.1

Answer 2

Quite outdated question but in case someone encounters it:

1) I added

NameVirtualHost my_virtual_hostname_here.tld:80

before <VirtualHost ... section

2) changed <VirtualHost *:80> to <VirtualHost my_virtual_hostname_here.tld>

That did the trick for me. Of course as mentioned @Lord_JABA don't forget to add 127.0.0.1 my_virtual_hostname_here.tld to /etc/hosts
