what does the log say for that virtualhost?

could it be that the dns of the site3.org isnt pointing to your server yet?

I dont think is dns related if he is getting to the correct ip, does the output of
dig www.site3.org
shows your ip?

i use everydns.com and ive set records as follows:

site3.org HOST

A TYPE

6x.1xx.2x.1xx VALUE

www.site3.org HOST

A TYPE

6x.1xx.2x.1xx VALUE

are those ok? because the ip is of the server im using to host the other 2 and they work

-- oh and what log are you talking about?

yes the dig is resolving site3.org to my correct ip and nameservers as I set them.

who has the SOA? you need an SOA record I dont see it there.

Code:

[Sat Aug 19 18:55:00 2006] [error] [client 6x.2xx.2x.3x] File does not exist: /var/www/site1/var, referer: http://www.site3.org/css3.css

thats from the apache2 error log -- its showing a file does not exist but the strange thing is this is coming from site3.org/css3 ( css3.css is a file in the site1 folder !)
can someone please tell me what i need to clarify?

an SOA record? the everydns options only list a possible choice of A, CNAME, NS or MX

should i switch dns hosts?

Do you query and internal dns? I mean if you use you own dns resolver or you query an external one. I really dont see anything wrong with your conf file.
If you query and internal dns check the zones for your internal network and clean the cache.

Looking in Apache's access log (/var/log/httpd/access_log) we can see what was received:

127.0.0.1 - - [01/May/2003:21:16:04 -0500]
"GET /cgi-bin/search.cgi HTTP/1.1" 200 843 "http://local-client_a.com/"
"Mozilla/4.0(compatible;MSIE 5.0;Linux 2.4.20-2.48 i686)Opera 6.11[en]"

Apache then looks up 127.0.0.1 in its vhost address sets table and finds three vhosts associated with the address. It then scans for a ServerName in order of entry that matches local-client_a.com. If it fails to find a match, it will go back to the first entry for 127.0.0.1 (localhost) and use it.

this is what I found. same thing seems to happen on your host. when you type in www.site3.org it goes to www.site1.com, try making sure the ServerName is correct

thats interesting but as you can see from my httpd.conf file the servername and alias are correct.

lol :)
i see site3.org not the true name.

lol forget about that thats just for a lil privacy

great. i did something to the httpd.conf file and now ALL my domains revert to the default.
