solved above. new warning message I was able to solve the above issue by deleting the conf file for the site. Now i have a warning message mail:~ # /etc/init.d/apache2 start Starting httpd2 (prefork) [Sat Aug 29 16:25:28 2009] [warn] NameVirtualHost 196.0.25.202:443 has no VirtualHosts done mail:~ #
That just saying that that particular IP isn't assigned to any vhost. I get the same thing on my server... it can be safely ignored generally, unless you have already setup a vhost on that particular ip. Then in that case you should look in you vhost conf and see whats going on there.
