I'm having problems getting my ServerAlias domains to work correctly. apache2ctl -S gives:



IP.ADDRESS:80      is a NameVirtualHost
default server byteinsight.net (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost byteinsight.net (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)

wild alias *.compu2learn.org.uk


I've followed the guidance here and added the ServerName into the virtual host declaration e.g.



<VirtualHost byteinsight.net:80>...


and I have restarted Apache. I tried to add NameVirtualHost *:80 but was told it was not necessary and was going to be removed at the next update. I have also looked at this one and updated my settings to reflect the example given on the apache TroubleshootingVhosts page.



What have I missed?



Thanks

          If you are adding virtual hosts to an existing web server, you must
          also create a block for the existing host. The ServerName and
          DocumentRoot included in this virtual host should be the same as the
          global ServerName and DocumentRoot. List this virtual host first in
          the configuration file so that it will act as the default host.




          I also need to use full domains and not wild cards e.g.



          ServerAlias www.domain.com domain.com 


          and not



          ServerAlias *.domain.com.
