[users@httpd] Apache 1.3.31 + mod_ssl + ipv6
I'm running apache 1.3.31 with mod_ssl and ipv6 built from ports on
FreeBSD 4.10 Stable. I've been playing with the configuration for the
past four hours trying to get a simple vhost + ssl setup going. In the
end I got it working but I still have questions:
Why does this work:
NameVirtualHost 64.204.249.112:80
<VirtualHost 64.204.249.112:80>
ServerName www.lhr-its.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 64.204.249.112:80>
ServerName mambo.lhr-its.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/mambo
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 64.204.249.112:80>
ServerName natasha.lhr-its.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 64.204.249.112:80>
ServerName mail.lhr-its.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data
</VirtualHost>
Where this doesn't:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.lhr-its.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mambo.lhr-its.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/mambo
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName natasha.lhr-its.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mail.lhr-its.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data
</VirtualHost>
Since the second way is the recommended way I went around in circles for
three hours before I decided to just bind apache to the ipv4 address on
the server as a means of simplifying things. All the while I kept
getting an error message which was no help at all:
[Mon Sep 19 22:58:54 2005] [warn] VirtualHost *:80 overlaps with
VirtualHost *:80, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a
NameVirtualHost directive
[Mon Sep 19 22:58:54 2005] [warn] VirtualHost *:80 overlaps with
VirtualHost *:80, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a
NameVirtualHost directive
[Mon Sep 19 22:58:54 2005] [warn] VirtualHost *:80 overlaps with
VirtualHost *:80, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a
NameVirtualHost directive
As you can see, in both examples I had a "NameVirtualHost" directive.
Thanks for any help

Well, if that's your definition of "not very helpful," then I hope to
have a problem on which you can be "helpful" 8-). Thanks for the
pointer. I suspected the problem had something to do with ipv6 support
and now that I see that it's a freebsd ipv6 patch I think that I can
point my query over there and see what's up.
Just out of curiosity is there a canonical document that explains how
the NameVirtualHost/VirtualHost mechanism works? The reason that I ask
is because I'm having trouble modeling what apache is doing with this
section of the configuration. I thought that I got it when I went to a:
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName foo.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/foo.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName bar.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/foo.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName baz.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/foo.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
And that seems to work on all of my webservers (probably I flubbed it
when I added the ipv6 flavor to the port).
In my head apache has a table of virtual host configurations indexed by
ServerName or ServerAlias. It parses the Name needed from the request
out of the URI, looks for a match in the table and then loads the
apropriate parameters out of the corresponding vhost configuration.
Is this correct?

This isn't a very helpful response, but you should be aware that
apache 1.3 from httpd.apache.org does not have ipv6 support. Whatever
support is in your build was patched in by freebsd. It is certainly
possible (and perhaps probable) that that patch is the source of your
problems. Hence you probably want to address your question to a
freebsd forum, rather than an apache forum.
