Apache: NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts error message
If you’re getting the following error when trying to restart Apache server:
NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
Edit your ports.conf:
nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf
and comment out NameVirtualHost towards the top of your config file.
This should work considering all other settings are correct.
