VirtualHost overlap on port 443, the first has precedence

This is the warning I was getting:

[warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 443,
the first has precedence

And, this is how to fix the warning:

Add this line of code to your configuration file (usually httpd.conf or httpd-vhosts.conf)

NameVirtualHost *:443

I already had the line: “NameVirtualHost *:80″ which allowed me to have virtual hosts on the port 80, However later on I added a Virtual Host that operated on port 443 over SSL and I didn’t realize that I needed the line above.

I kept getting the same warning whenever I (re)started Apache but it didn’t seem to hinder the operation of anything so I left it at that.

Now it all boots up nice and clean, so I’m happy.

Hope this helps, I can’t say this will help in all instances of that warning, but it certainly fixed it up for me.
