For example, the following does not work:
---- Port 80 ... <VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:8000> ... </VirtualHost> ---- However this will: ---- Port 80 ... Listen 192.168.0.1:8000 <VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:8000> ... </VirtualHost> ---- >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Configure ip:port based VirtualHosts to automatically Listen on a particular port if it is given in the <VirtualHost> directive and is not being listened on by default .. maybe. I've not looked at how Apache parses the configuration file from a technical point of view, so I don't know if it's feasible or not, but the form _does_ ask for a suggestion. :-) You could also just document it better and call it a 'feature'. :) %0 >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
