What is wrong with NameVirtualHost?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

After I enabled ssl, I get error AH00548 at startup: NameVirtualHost has no effect and will be removed in the next release /etc/apache2/ports.conf:6

Site config

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName careforme.ru
  ServerAdmin [email protected]
  WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/FlaskApp/flaskapp.wsgi

config port.conf

# If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
# have to change the VirtualHost statement in
# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.con


NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
# If you add NameVirtualHost *:443 here, you will also have to change
# the VirtualHost statement in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
# to <VirtualHost *:443>
# Server Name Indication for SSL named virtual hosts is currently not
# supported by MSIE on Windows XP.
NameVirtualHost *:443
Listen 443
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
Listen 443
</IfModule>

The directive is old and not used.
In future versions, the presence of this directive will be considered an error.
