Show all Apache virtual hosts and their config files

harmless rootApachedebian, ubuntu
root@server
apache2ctl -S

Shows, per IP and port, which virtual hosts Apache knows, which one is the default host, and the file and line where it is defined. Essential when a domain serves the wrong site, since usually the default host kicks in because no ServerName or ServerAlias matches.

Note: On Plesk, Apache usually listens behind nginx on ports 7080 and 7081, so the virtual hosts show up there.
