Apache2 warning about NameVirtualHost directive

Question

Can someone help me to understand why I receive the following errors when restarting my apache2 webserver:

[Fri Nov 09 09:46:43 2012] [warn] VirtualHost 172.30.30.12:443 overlaps with VirtualHost 172.30.30.12:443, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive

The error always appears twice. What is a NameVirtualHost directive?

Thanks.

Do you have two VirtualHosts defined? – Yseulte

How would I check this? What should I look for? – Cannular

If this is the issue, someone would have to have put the VirtualHosts there. Do you use your web server, how did you configure it? You should have come across a VirtualHost at some point – Yseulte

Look at this example.

You probably need to add this line to your Apache HTTP Server configuration:

NameVirtualHost 172.30.30.12:443

You may add NameVirtualHost *:443 to enable for all IPs. – Yonina
