[error] VirtualHost *:80 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results

[cgallagher]

Hi,

I've just installed Phusion Passenger for the first time and
everything went smoothly until I attempted to modify my apache config.

The error that im getting is:

[error] VirtualHost *:80 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a
NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined
results

The section that I added to the config was as follows:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.chris-gallagher.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/chris-gallagher.com/
httpdocs/simplelog_2.0.2/public/
</VirtualHost>


Any ideas on what might be causing this? Im fairly new to apache so
this may be something quite trivial.

Cheers,
Chris

That's an apache thing.

You have to edit you apache.conf file. You probably have one line that says something like NameVirtualHost *. It should say NameVirtualHost *:80.

Try that and let me know...

Thanks for the quick reply.

Im looking in my apache.conf file and i dont see anything like that.

I do have a ports.conf file though and this has ports listed as 80 and
443. This isnt anything to do with it is it?

I am running apache 2.2.3 by the way.

It could be on some included file, like vhosts.conf.
Which Operating System are you using?

[cgallagher]

Debian GNU/Linux on VPS hosting.

Im not seeing a file such as that but ill look further

Ok Ive found the following in zz010_psa_httpd.conf :

NameVirtualHost 78.153.208.167:80
NameVirtualHost 78.153.208.167:443
ServerName vps-1000885-330.cp.blacknight.com
ServerAdmin cgall...@gmail.com

DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs

what should i change this to or is this the place to modify?

Excellent, now apache is starting without any errors :)

Only problem now is that rails doesnt seem to be serving pages for
some reason.

Do I need to start up any kind of server from within my rails
application to get the project going or anything like that?

Add this to your VirtualHost conf

RailsBaseURI /
RailsAllowModRewrite off

[cgallagher]

So i should no have this in my config?

<VirtualHost 78.153.208.167:80>
ServerName www.chris-gallagher.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/chris-gallagher.com/
httpdocs/simplelog_2.0.2/public

RailsBaseURI /
RailsAllowModRewrite off
</VirtualHost>

Doesnt seem to work for me.

[Lucas Florio]

Man, you are killing me :)

I am trying to go to http://www.chris-gallagher.com/ but I am getting a Permission Denied.

Replace everything with:

<VirtualHost 78.153.208.167:80>
    ServerName www.chris-gallagher.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/chris-gallagher.com/httpdocs/simplelog_2.0.2/public
    RailsBaseURI /
    RailsAllowModRewrite off

    <directory "/var/www/vhosts/chris-gallagher.com/httpdocs/simplelog_2.0.2/public">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </directory>
</VirtualHost>

[cgallagher]

Hehe sorry about this :(

Still no joy though. The reason for the 403 is that I previously had a
static html file in there but once apache didnt seem to be serving any
rails pages, i removed the index.html file to see if it was something
similar to other systems, where the index.html will override all
others.

Its really weird because everything starts up as expected, without
error. I have run mongrel in a similar fashion before without any
major trouble and really wanted to try this out as it seems much more
cleaner :)

Im stumped!

If you put a static page in the public directory, and go directly to see it, can you?
I was trying with this: http://www.chris-gallagher.com/images/rails.png, but I get the same error message. Did you put the snippet I just gave you?
