Hi,
The migration has caused an Apache problem: virtual hosts such as
www.freesoftware.fsf.org and www.hurd.gnu.org have stopped working.

I think the problem is caused by www.gnu.org and www.freesoftware.fsf.org
being bound to different IP numbers in gnudist and it seems that Apache is not
listening to both.

Apache has been set up in gnudist such that the virtual host will work if a
request is received in www.gnu.org but the server has been referred as
www.freesoftware.fsf.org. With www.gnu.org and www.freesoftware.fsf.org
pointing to different IP numbers this never happens, which is confirmed by the
fact that the log file for www.freesoftware.fsf.org remains empty.

I think the problem might be solved with a "Listen" command in httpd.conf; but
I don't have root access in gnudist to try that.

Regards,
Jaime
