Hi I am trying to enable a site in apache2 but when i try to restart apache i get the following error: Syntax error on line 230 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 20 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/zynkron.com: directive missing closing '>' Now the said line in sites-enabled/zynkron.com reads: because my start tag is so if I remove the * I will get an error about mixing * and non* ports not being supported, so that's not an option. Can anyone help me please? Anders

Please post the whole tag you are creating. Take a look here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod...amevirtualhost What you want is: NameVirtualHost *:80 ServerName zynkron.com # ...extra stuff Last edited by mike86; 06-08-2012 at 08:16 AM.

I do not use the nameVirtualHost line. I followed this guide debian-administration.org/articles/412 The entire sites-available file looks like this: ServerAdmin webmaster@zynkron.com ServerName zynkron.com ServerAlias zynkron.com # Indexes + Directory Root. DirectoryIndex index.html DocumentRoot /var/www/zynkron.com/htdocs/ # CGI Directory ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/zynkron.com/cgi-bin/ Options +ExecCGI # Logfiles ErrorLog /var/www/zynkron.com/logs/error.log CustomLog /var/www/zynkron.com/logs/access.log combined Thanks for helping
