Here is the VHOST config. I just changed the NameVirtualHost param to add the port 80. Got rid of the warnings but same result with the redirect. # Include the virtual host configurations: # DocumentRoot /var/www/sitaracoza # DocumentRoot /var/www/sitaracoza NameVirtualHost *:80 #Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/[^.#]* # DocumentRoot /var/www/sitaracoza DocumentRoot /var/www/sitaracoza ServerName www.sitara.co.za # Other directives here DocumentRoot /var/www/reservations ServerName reservations.sitara.co.za # Other directives here ServerName www.sitara.co.za Here is the output from apache2 -S apache2 -S VirtualHost configuration: wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers: *:80 is a NameVirtualHost default server www.sitara.co.za (/etc/apache2/apache2.conf:399) port 80 namevhost www.sitara.co.za (/etc/apache2/apache2.conf:399) port 80 namevhost reservations.sitara.co.za (/etc/apache2/apache2.conf:407) Syntax OK
