[NTLUG:Discuss] Virtual Web Server

[David Simmons]

right above your individual definitions....you need to tell it that you're
actually doing virtual hosting......you do that by removing the # from
before the 'NameVirtualHost' line:

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# NOTE: NameVirtualHost cannot be used without a port specifier
# (e.g. :80) if mod_ssl is being used, due to the nature of the
# SSL protocol.
#

and make sure you restart the HTTP service each time you need to reload the
httpd.conf file

You're also missing the 'ServerName:' definition within each of your virtual
webs.....you want something like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/somesite.com
    ServerName www.somesite.com
    ServerAlias somesite.com
    ErrorLog logs/somesite.com-error_log
    CustomLog logs/somesite.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

hope that helps,
