Apache 2.x won't do virtual host like 1.x

What I want to do is have:

1. The "main server" serve nothing.
2. The "main virtual host" serve what the main server would have
on port 81.
3. A second virtual host on the same IP, but different port (82).

My abridged httpd.conf is below. As it is, it works, but I had
to make my "main virtual host" not be a virtual host and instead
have it be the main server.

If I uncomment the commented-out stuff, the "main virtual host"
doesn't work. It's like Apache never "sees" the declarations
for it. By looking in the error log, it looks like the document
root gets set to /usr/local/packages/apache.

For the main virtual host, I tried using both:

<VirtualHost *:81>
<VirtualHost _default:*>

(only one at a time, of course) but neither helped. My set-up
used to work fine in Apache 1.x.

Any ideas hot to get what I want?

I've found that configuring is a lot simpler if I don't worry about a
"main server" and just use virtual host exclusively. I've done it for
years on 1.3 and when I tried 2.0 it worked fine.

Phil and Paul,

If this thread is still active.....

I'm having similar problems, and in looking through various setup docs
on the net, it looks like Apache cannot do virtual hosts without a name
server on that machine to specify the hosts. Is this correct? I tried
to do much the same as Paul (creating different directories and server
names in a virual hosts file) and have had similar override problems.
The docs seem to point to the DNS thing, but I'm not sure. (This is
behind a firewall, with a separate router and fixed IP address and
Apache 1.X running under an old Linux distro.) Any more light shed
would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jim Stanley

I don't recall having any problems using my hosts file to test out virtual
hosts, though it could be down to the specific builds of Apache that we've
used. Is your system set up to use the hosts file *then* try a DNS server
to resolve names?

Of course, running your own DNS server helps with all sorts of
experimenting. I'd advocate doing so, if you can.
