  <P>

  In versions of Apache prior to 1.3b2, there was a lot of confusion

  regarding address-based virtual hosts and (HTTP/1.1) name-based

  virtual hosts, and the rules concerning how the server processed

  <SAMP>&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</SAMP> definitions were very complex and not

  well documented.

  </P>

  <P>

  Apache 1.3b2 introduced a new directive,

  <A

   HREF="http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost"

  ><SAMP>NameVirtualHost</SAMP></A>,

  which simplifies the rules quite a bit.  However, changing the rules

  like this means that your existing name-based

  <SAMP>&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</SAMP> containers probably won't work

  correctly immediately following the upgrade.

  </P>

  <P>

  To correct this problem, add the following line to the beginning of

  your server configuration file, before defining any virtual hosts:

  </P>

  <DL>

   <DD><CODE>NameVirtualHost <EM>n.n.n.n</EM></CODE>

   </DD>

  </DL>

  <P>

  Replace the &quot;<SAMP>n.n.n.n</SAMP>&quot; with the IP address to

  which the name-based virtual host names resolve; if you have multiple

  name-based hosts on multiple addresses, repeat the directive for each

  address.

  </P>

  <P>

  Make sure that your name-based <SAMP>&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</SAMP> blocks

  contain <SAMP>ServerName</SAMP> and possibly <SAMP>ServerAlias</SAMP>

  directives so Apache can be sure to tell them apart correctly.

  </P>
