Bug 118562 – Virtualhost with * in apache2 causes webmin apache module to stop working

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description gtl4407 2006-01-10 11:27:01 UTC]

Create any virtual host configuration (either by hand or with webmin) that contains a * like the two examples below. 

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/www.foo.net/htdocs
ServerName www.foo.net
<Directory "/var/www/www.foo.net/htdocs">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

or

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /var/www/www.foo.net/htdocs
ServerName www.foo.net
<Directory "/var/www/www.foo.net/htdocs">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

And the apache2 webmin module stops working completely. It won't even load

This would work correclty

<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/www.foo.net/htdocs
ServerName www.foo.net
<Directory "/var/www/www.foo.net/htdocs">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Using webmin 1.250, perl 5.8.7-r3, apache 2.0.54-r31

Please talk with the webmin devs about this as it's not gentoo specific, and I don't have the resources to address it, thanks.
