    I am trying add three namebased virtual hosts in local apache2 webserver
    OS ubuntu 10.10


    The three sites are :www.site1.eka , www.site2.eka , www.site2.eka

    The first i created a file is virtual.conf in conf.d directory its content is :
    #
    # we're running multiple virtual hosts.
    #
    NameVirtualHost *:80

    Next i created following files in sites-available directory

    www.site1.eka is as follows

    #
    #site1.eka (/etc/apache2/sites-available/www.site1.eka)
    #
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@site1.eka
    ServerName www.site1.eka
    ServerAlias site1.eka

    # Indexes + Directory Root.
    DocumentRoot /var/www/projects/www.site1.eka/htdocs/
    DirectoryIndex index.html
    #DocumentRoot /var/www/projects/www.site1.eka/htdocs/

    # CGI Directory
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/projects/www.site1.eka/cgi-bin/
    <Location /cgi-bin>
    Options +ExecCGI
    </Location>


    # Logfiles
    ErrorLog /var/www/projects/www.site1.eka/logs/error.log
    CustomLog /var/www/projects/www.site1.eka/logs/access.log combined
    </VirtualHost>

    www.site2.eka is as follows:

    #
    #site2.eka (/etc/apache2/sites-available/www.site2.eka)
    #
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@site2.eka
    ServerName www.site2.eka
    ServerAlias site2.eka

    # Indexes + Directory Root.
    DirectoryIndex index.html
    DocumentRoot /var/www/projects/www.site2.eka/htdocs/

    # CGI Directory
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/projects/www.site2.eka/cgi-bin/
    <Location /cgi-bin>
    Options +ExecCGI
    </Location>


    # Logfiles
    ErrorLog /var/www/projects/www.site2.eka/logs/error.log
    CustomLog /var/www/projects/www.site2.eka/logs/access.log combined
    </VirtualHost>

    www.site3.eka is as follows

    #
    #site3.eka (/etc/apache2/sites-available/www.site3.eka)
    #
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@site3.eka
    ServerName www.site3.eka
    ServerAlias site3.eka

    # Indexes + Directory Root.
    DirectoryIndex index.html
    DocumentRoot /var/www/projects/www.site3.eka/htdocs/

    # CGI Directory
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/projects/www.site3.eka/cgi-bin/
    <Location /cgi-bin>
    Options +ExecCGI
    </Location>


    # Logfiles
    ErrorLog /var/www/projects/www.site3.eka/logs/error.log
    CustomLog /var/www/projects/www.site3.eka/logs/access.log combined
    </VirtualHost>

    Then i edited hosts file in /etc

    hosts is as follows:

    14.96.78.172 eka-Lenovo-G560 # Added by NetworkManager
    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
    ::1 eka-Lenovo-G560 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
    127.0.1.1 eka-Lenovo-G560

    #vhosts
    *:80 www.site1.eka
    *:80 www.site2.eka
    *:80 www.site3.eka

    # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
    ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
    fe00::0 ip6-localnet
    ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
    ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
    ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
    ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

    Then i ran following commands

    a2ensite www.site1.eka
    a2ensite www.site2.eka
    a2ensite www.site3.eka

    Then i restarted apache /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

    The output of apache2ctl -S
    VirtualHost configuration:
    127.0.0.1:80 127.0.0.1 (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:1)
    wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
    *:80 is a NameVirtualHost
    default server www.site1.eka (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/www.site1.eka:4)
    port 80 namevhost www.site1.eka (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/www.site1.eka:4)
    port 80 namevhost www.site2.eka (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/www.site2.eka:4)
    port 80 namevhost www.site3.eka (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/www.site3.eka:4)
    Syntax OK

    I also digged the site : dig www.site1.eka

    ; <<>> DiG 9.7.1-P2 <<>> www.site1.eka
    ;; global options: +cmd
    ;; Got answer:

    The problem used with the help of Steve -- http://www.steve.org.uk/

    These are changes he suggested

    This is wrong:

    > #vhosts
    > *:80 http://www.site1.eka
    > *:80 http://www.site2.eka
    > *:80 http://www.site3.eka

    In /etc/hosts you should add the IP addresses of the machines,e.g.

    127.0.0.1 http://www.site1.eka site1.eka
    127.0.0.1 http://www.site2.eka site2.eka
    127.0.0.1 http://www.site3.eka site3.eka
