I am trying to reconstruct a server from backups after a hardware crash. Rather than restore the entire image, I'm trying a combination of installing software and then restoring configuration files from backups. But Apache2 doesn't seem to be honouring the "ServerName" directives in my /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/* files. /server-info shows that it's picking up the right configuration, but it's not displaying my sites, just the default index page in /var/www/html/index.html. Here's a snippet from /server-info:

Module Name: core.c
Content handlers: yes

...

Current Configuration:

Either take :80 off the first or repeat it for all elements. I think the most specific address definition has precedence

Check the output of

apachectl -S

I think you're missing a piece of config like

Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*

  • I think the information given above shows pretty conclusively that it's read /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/* since it mentions them by name and shows all the configuration. Mar 3, 2010 at 11:42

I believe you need to define the port for the Virtual Hosts:

<VirtualHost *:80>
 ...
</VirtualHost>

Give that a go. Otherwise, I am just guessing, have you tried looking at your error / access logs to see where the files are coming from? Apache2 isn't difficult to setup. VirtualHost issues are most commonly typo's or broken conf format.
