![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description After mistakenly defining the same host and port in two virtual hosts, an app using one of the virtual hosts would not work. There was no error reported when misconfiguring the two virtual hosts, and the error in the failing app does not indicate the nature of the failure. A good solution would be an audit of the existing virtual host paths when creating a new virtual host. This was the way WAS 3.5 worked. We mistakenly defined two apps with two virtual hosts where both virtual hosts had the same server and port. The duplicated line is shown below. <VirtualHost Name="www.ibm.com:9711"/> The application and web server defined and started with no warnings or errors. However, the new app server would not serve requets, giving the error message below: "Virtual host or web application not found. The web group xxxxx has not been defined"Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Validation allowed duplicate aliases. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** After mistakenly defining the same host and port in two virtual hosts, an app using one of the virtual hosts would not work.
