Apache Default Index page Not working after VirtualHost Configuration

Hi

I have recently installed Apache 2.4.6 on CentOS 7. I have created an index page in /var/www/html and check it which was working fine. After that I configured two virtual hosts having different content and problem now is that when i type the IP address of my WebServer in browser, it takes me to index page of virtual host 1 instead of index page in /var/www/html. Index page of virtualhost 2 is working fine. See the following configuration:

Default (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf):
ServerName default.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html

VirtualHost1 (/etc/httpd/conf.d/example.com.conf):
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/public_html

VirtualHost1 (/etc/httpd/conf.d/example.org.conf):
ServerName example.org
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.org/public_html

Can anyone please tell me how to resolve this issue.

From http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html

Quote:

Main host goes away

If you are adding virtual hosts to an existing web server, you must also create a <VirtualHost> block for the existing host. The ServerName and DocumentRoot included in this virtual host should be the same as the global ServerName and DocumentRoot. List this virtual host first in the configuration file so that it will act as the default host.

Which configuration file? httpd.conf or some other .conf file like 1 i made for example.com

You have to make another one for default.com, or put the config for default.com as a virtual host config to the beginning of your first virtual host config file
