Virtual host error...

[ctroyp1]

Would anyone have any idea why I would be getting this error when restarting Apache.

overlaps with VirtualHost

http://www.mydomain2.com:0,

the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive

Because 'perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive'

Ok, please understand that I am not an Apache expert...still learning. I understand how my vhosts are setup within apache2.conf. I did not have this error before adding Tomcat to the system. I have defined these virtual hosts within the server.xml of Tomcat as well.

So how do I add the NameVirtualHost directive under this config?

I've never used Tomcat, so you'll need to figure out where the problem actually is. But, essentially the apache error is telling you that you seem to have 2 Virtualhosts set up that seem to be set to answer to the same conditions - they do not have different IP addresses or ports. Therefore, you must intend for them to be diferentiated by name, but apache can't find a NameVirtualHost directive, so it's going to assume the first one is right. faq65-1831 is a general explanation of name-based virtual hosts, but I have no idea how this would incorporate with Tomcat.

ctroyp1,

From the Apache documentation:

The NameVirtualHost directive is a required directive if you want to configure name-based virtual hosts.

In other words, if you want your Apache server to respond to requests for multiple hosts/domains on the same IP address, you need the directive
NameVirtualHost
in your httpd.conf
