Call it non-intuitive (I'll agree with you), but the global ServerName dictates what ip addresses will be considered for HTTP/1.1 Host: based vhosting... which is almost never what anyone wants. The standard workaround is this: # disable the global server ServerName localhost # define a vhost to match any otherwise unspecified ip address <VirtualHost _default_> ServerName whatever ... </VirtualHost> Dean
