Edit the file that contains that line and add the following:

NameVirtualHost *:8082

Then all you need to do is start adding virtualhosts.

<VirtualHost *:8082>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/web/root

# add the following two lines if you want vhost-specific logging
ErrorLog /ver/log/apache2/example.com-error
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.com-access combined
</VirtualHost>

If my memory is working correctly, the argument to VirtualHost must match the argument to a NameVirtualHost directive.

i.e.: Apache will complain about this (and likely won't work), even though intuitively you might think it's just fine.

NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.1:8282

</VirtualHost>

Exactly. Which is why both of those cases in my example code use *:8082.

Oh - wasn't correcting you, Erik. Just giving the original poster a heads up that those strings must fit up precisely. :) I've puzzled over debugging named virtual host configurations where I thought things were logically the same only to realize they must be lexically identical.

Got it. Nevermind then. :)

You're right, though, and I learned this the hard way early on in my
love/hate relationship with apache as well.

Re: Getting apache to work...dumb question in here :)

easier than NameVirtualHost: VirtualDocumentRoot
eg:
#dynamic virtual hosts, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/mass.html
# and http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html
#include the server name in the filenames used to satisfy requests
VirtualDocumentRoot /web/%-2.0.%-1/pub

Re: Getting apache to work...dumb question in here :)

Having problems lol.

It keeps wanting me to specify a domain name, and i just want it to be just localhost:8082

For ease of folder permissions, i created a www folder inside my /home/username folder.

NameVirtualHost *:8082

ServerName localhost

DocumentRoot /home/craig/www/wbm

# add the following two lines if you want vhost-specific logging

ErrorLog /ver/log/apache2/example.com-error

Re: Getting apache to work...dumb question in here :)

I haven't tried this with localhost before. Try adding another alias to the machine in /etc/hosts and using that? Looks like apache is having a hard time working backwards from the loopback ip to a hostname to match against your rule. Hmm - come to think of it I think all of my VirtualHosts are in fact FQDNs, not singleton hostnames.

Re: Getting apache to work...dumb question in here :)

Hosts file already has localhost pointing to 127.0.0.1.

What are FQDN's or singletons?

Re: Getting apache to work...dumb question in here :)

FQDN = fully qualified domain name:

foo.example.com

singleton hostname (or, perhaps more accurately, just "hostname") => foo

Re: Getting apache to work...dumb question in here :)

Was the text copied and pasted in? Or typed? There's an interesting
item in the error messages:

> apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain
> name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
> [Fri Jun 01 00:51:20 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:0 has no
> VirtualHosts

The first error message says 127.0.1.1 the second says 127.0.0.1.
If you copied and pasted, I'd check the hosts file for a typo.
