Apache2 - list Name-Based Virtual Hosts

Here’s a little tidbit that I never knew until I had an Apache2 name-based virtual host problem: httpd -S lists the vhosts that are being served by Apache, and how they were parsed from the config files.

The output on one of my servers looks something like:

[root@web2 vhosts.d]# httpd -S
VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
_default_:443          web2.jasonantman.com (/etc/httpd/vhosts.d/ssl-host.conf:7)
*:80                   is a NameVirtualHost
         default server www.jasonantman.com (/etc/httpd/vhosts.d/000-default.conf:1)
         port 80 namevhost www.jasonantman.com (/etc/httpd/vhosts.d/000-default.conf:1)
         port 80 namevhost rackman.jasonantman.com (/etc/httpd/vhosts.d/rackman.jasonantman.com.conf:1)
         port 80 namevhost whatismyip.jasonantman.com (/etc/httpd/vhosts.d/whatismyip.jasonantman.com.conf:1)
Syntax OK

This is quite useful in debugging vhost problems, especially those pesky times when a request that should go to a specific vhost is being served by the default (in my case at this time, I had two ServerName directives instead of a ServerName and a ServerAlias).
