AW: Problem with Apache in Jail

[Scheithauer, Lars (FH)]

Hi Miroslav,

the system is a FreeBSD 8.0-rc3 with apache22.

nslookup is working fine - I did not enter the vhosts name into the /etc/hosts before, but even adding it doesn't change the problem.

Any other ideas I might check out?

Best Regards,
Lars

You did not post what version and architecture you are using...
But I am runing several jails with Apache or Lighttpd without any issues 
(on 6.3 i386 and 7.2 i386 + amd64).
So I expect some misconfiguration on your side.

Are you sure you have correct DNS entries pointing to right IP and you 
have working resolv.conf inside jail? What about /etc/hosts?
