E-MIEL.NET

For running multiple sites on your box, you have to do something with configuration. What I did is (in my opinion) a nice way:

create a file called /etc/apache2/conf.d/virtual.conf

include the following text:

#
# We’re running multiple virtual hosts.
#
NameVirtualHost [your IP]:80

Now you can create a file in your /etc/apache2/sites-available map called (in my case) e-miel.net with the VirtualHost tag pointing to the NameVirtualHost mentioned above:

<VirtualHost [your IP]:80>

With this no errors will be logged after restarting Apache2.

Btw, I ran into this error:

_default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 80

It seems that /etc/apache2/ports.conf also contains a “global” (don’t know for sure if that is the correct word) variable that holds the NameVirtualHost value.

Though being a fulltime Microsoft .NET developer I decided to change my blogging environment from dasBlog to WordPress (on a Debian host).

After configuring the machine it seemed to work smoothly but from time to time Apache2 was not responding to any requests (though the mail server was running perfectly).

It turned out that by using <Virtualhost *> (yes, I definitely am lazy !) the problem was caused by my second not used nic. Disabling this one did the trick, the server is up and running 24/7.

In my search for a new switch for Antares I contacted HP based upon the contact information found on their site.

It turned out that the information I found was outdated. The funny remark the telephonist made (and I quote):

“Our Internet is outdated…”.

Never knew HP has their own Internet, or do they own the Internet ?
