This applies even if the only error is for a single <virtual host>. Especially for ISPs running apache with many virtual servers it would be highly preferable to start apache WITHOUT the erroneously formatted virtual host, but WITH all other virtual hosts running normally. >How-To-Repeat:
>Fix: First check syntax on each virtual host individually. Then, ignore any incorrectly formatted virtual hosts. Log that Apache is starting without without the virtual host to STDERR and/or Syslog. Start apache with remaining virtual hosts. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
