It occurred to me that it may be helpful to know what my virtual host
entries for this domain look like in my httpd.conf file. Well, just in case.
Here ya go:
<VirtualHost nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:80>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/vangemerts
ServerName www.vangemerts.com
ErrorLog logs/vangemerts.com-error.log
CustomLog logs/vangemerts.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:80>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/vangemerts
ServerName vangemerts.com
ErrorLog logs/vangemerts.com-error.log
CustomLog logs/vangemerts.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Of course, my IP is a real one, I just didn't want to broadcast it to the
list. :o)
