To be clear:
- Apache by default, listens to all active IP addresses (i.e. listed by
ifconfig -a) on port 80.
- If you want to specify IP addresses, you use "Listen" or
"BindAddress".
- As soon as you use either of these directives, apache will listen only
to specified addresses; the default behaviour is switched off.
- BindAddress allows you to listen to only one IP; you can only have one
of these directives.
- You can have many Listens, apache will listen only to IP addresses
specified by these directives.
- Therefore if you have several IP addresses and you want servers on
some but not others, you should use specify one-by-one the addresses you
want to listen to. Addresses which are not defined by a Listen will be
ignored.
NB: Listen is a server-config directive - it applies to the whole server
so you shouldn't put it in a <VirtualHost> as you have done (it'll work
but you're confusing matters...). I find the best self-documenting
layout is:
> Listen 111.222.333.444
> <VirtualHost 111.222.333.444>
> DocumentRoot /home/www/user1
> blah
> </VirtualHost>
repeated for each VH.
NB2 There is no "UnListen" directive - i.e. you can't get the default
"listen all addresses" behaviout and then subtract one IP from it...

Re: Not That IP Address!

I was wondering how to specify what addresses for apache not too listen on.
It looks as if I need a Listen directive in my virtual hosts containers.
Thanks though....

i do this for my virtual hosts
i think this is what you were asking?
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /opt/htdocs
ErrorLog /opt/apache/logs/mydomain.error
CustomLog /opt/apache/logs/mydomain.access common
</VirtualHost>

I don't think so - the docs say use a full address. Check the source to
see how the arguments to Listen are parsed - or just try it and see what
apache says!

Just wondering, whether we can specify wild-card ( or specify a part of, eg.
192.168.1. )in the IP
for listen directive.
