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
[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.

If this is the issue, someone would have to have put the `VirtualHost`s there. Do you use your web server, how did you configure it? You should have come across a `VirtualHost` at some point — Pekka, Nov 09 '12 at 14:59

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. – Harikrishnan Mar 09 '16 at 06:00
