First, we *need* to know the names of the files involved, since the alphabetical order of the files determines which is the default host (the first host is default, so you should have sites-enabled/000-default and sites-enabled/001-dirac). > In sites.enabled: Did you verify that this is the correct IP address?

Is it possible that the default is catching all of the requests since it has no name? Give it a name. Since it's the default (its configuration file comes first alphabetically), it will still respond to any unknown hostnames passed in the host header. The link I quote below says: "ServerName should always be set for each vhost. Otherwise A DNS lookup is required for each vhost." > <VirtualHost 24.189.162.69:80> > ServerAdmin p...@dirac.org > DocumentRoot /var/www > . . . > </VirtualHost> > > > Any ideas what could be preventing this from working?
