If all of the name matches fail, it defaults to using the first vhost in the list unless you defined a default. So you probably aren't matching anything. It is possible to mix named vhosts with those defined by IP or port numbers but you have to be careful about it. In particular the setting in NameVirtualHost: has to match the subsequent <VirtualHost: > settings. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
