Question : Apache Name Based Virutal Hosting Problem

I am using name based virtual hosting on 1 IP address the problem that I am having is when I go to the IP address which is: 67.207.142.156

# 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.
#
 
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.

Answer : Apache Name Based Virutal Hosting Problem

Just add default site as a first site in your virtual host file

And read documentation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html
-------------------------------------------- cut -------------------------------------------
Main host goes away:
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.
