Apache Virtual Host problem

Hi all,

I have a webserver with a single IP address that I run multiple sites on using name based virtual hosting.

I've recently added another host, but for some reason it's going to the default apache test page instead of the domain.

The section from my httpd.conf is:

Code:

 <VirtualHost *:80>
         php_admin_flag safe_mode Off
         ServerAdmin chris@chrisquigley.com
         Servername chrisquigley.com
         ServerAlias chrisquigley.com *.chrisquigley.com
         DocumentRoot /home/httpd/vhosts/chrisquigley.com/httpdocs
 </VirtualHost>

What's odd, is that the other sites I run in the same fashion work just fine. Here's a sample syntax:

Code:

 <VirtualHost *:80>
         php_admin_value open_basedir none
         ServerAdmin admin@club3g.com
         ServerName club3g.com
         ServerAlias club3g.com *.club3g.com
         DocumentRoot /home/httpd/vhosts/club3g.com/httpdocs/
 </VirtualHost>

Is there anything else I need to do to get this new site working? I'm thinking I must have missed a step somewhere, but I can't for the life of me figure it out.

Thanks!

And you restarted apache after making the changes?

And your sure there are actual html or web docs in the new hosts directory? I think by default if there is no index page, it will display the default apache page when using Redhat.

Aye, I've even rebooted the server just to be thorough.

There are actual docs in there - it's just not looking in the right folder. It's pulling from /var/www/html (the default apache site) instead of "realizing" that it's a virtual host.
