title: <VirtualHost> error in Apache2.conf
body: <p>I cannot fix this without asking for help. On install of LAMP via Syn. Pkg. Mgr. and trying to setup and run LAMP, I have received:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mark@Lexington:/$ apachectl restart
  /usr/sbin/apachectl: 87: ulimit: error setting limit (Operation not permitted)
  apache2: Syntax error on line 237 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/example.com: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/example.com:1: &lt;VirtualHost&gt; was not closed.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file talks about a <code>&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</code> and I have read examples of what to put there, but I'm not able to understand what I am doing. And since the file says DON'T unless you know what you are doing, I am asking:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>This is XUbuntu 12.04. I tried installing LAMP. The purpose of this is to run vnstat in a browser and see the bandwidth usage. Also, I want to "serve" a mp3 file to a weblog I keep. I don't understand why I would make an Apache error log visible in a browser. I would have little reason to see the bandwidth usage at another location. The only other reason for LAMP is I am trying to use MythTV to send the TV signal to a "smart" tv via ethernet cable.</li>
  <li>If you can point me towards a URL or other help, I'm much obliged.</li>
  <li>If you can give me the name of a text editor that shows line numbers so I can look at "line 237" I'll try to figure the syntax error.</li>
  </ol>
