I am attempting to host 3 different web sites on an apache configuration on a raspberry pi. Individually, I can launch each webpage without issue and have the site show up. However, somehow, when I enabled more than one site at a time, each one on different ports, it would show only one site across all ports.
I tried configuring different sites with different ports, changed <Directory> tags to see if my directories were overriding each other, etc.
Most of the data is stored in /var/www/[site-name], so it was only until I tried adding another site at /var/www/[different-site-name] and have it still happen that I knew it was not a path conflict. I fudged with the apache settings for a while to no effect.
A little voice in my head hinted at one of the configuration files I had used a long time ago, the /etc/apache2/conf.d/virtual.conf file. I checked it out, and it had this to say:
NameVirtualServer *Now, in my website ports.conf file, I specified lines like this:
NameVirtualServer *:80 NameVirtualServer *:8081 NameVirtualServer *:8082
Somehow it clicked. I disabled the /etc/apache2/conf.d/virtual.conf contents by changing the line to this:
# NameVirtualServer * saved and restarted apache.
Now everything works as configured.
It may seem like a trivial problem, but it cost me a couple hours of my valuable time and I *could not* find a solution on google. Granted, I didn't scour the bowels of the internet for this small problem.
Hopefully this will help others in my position.
