I run Webmin and I want it to be accessed with two URLs, both using proxypass in apache

Question

This is what I am trying to do:

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName testsite.org
        ServerAdmin webmaster@testsite.org
        DocumentRoot /var/www/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName panel.testsite.org
        ProxyPass / http://panel.testsite.org:10000/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://panel.testsite.org:10000/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 12.34.56.78>
        ServerName newsite.com
        ServerAdmin webmaster@newsite.com
        DocumentRoot /var/newsite/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 12.34.56.78>
        ServerName panel.newsite.com
        ProxyPass / http://panel.newsite.com:10000/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://panel.newsite.com:10000/
</VirtualHost>

The problem is that it won't accept the 2nd vhost with the IP 12.34.56.78 because it says one already exists. panel.newsite.com and newsite.com have the same IP...so I am not sure how I can make it so that only the URL "panel.newsite.com" will get proxypassed to port 10000 but no other URL on newsite.com

Virtual host doesn't really apply to multiple instances of the same ip addresses. You don't need to use the specific IP, when your "NameVirtualHost" is already *.

Try:

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName newsite.com
        ServerAdmin webmaster@newsite.com
        DocumentRoot /var/newsite/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName panel.newsite.com
        ProxyPass / http://panel.newsite.com:10000/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://panel.newsite.com:10000/
</VirtualHost>

If the virtual host directive isn't unique (or a wildcard), then the config just defaults to the first match, which is why it's not going past the first one, since the IP is overriding the ServerName.
