Hi John, I think the described behaviour is normal.Apache makes a lookup whether it has a vhost with the requested hostname, if not it delivers the document root of the first vhost loaded which on Debian based systems (including Ubuntu) this conf file is "000-default" (the files are loaded via numeric ordering, hence the "000" to safeguard that this file is loaded first). You should not change the setup by your OS, read the documentation to understand the symlinking.
If you want to change this behavior, you could adapt your default.conf with a RewriteRule using wild-card -mappings.
Untested (you should'nt try this out on a productive server, please test first)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*mysite-1.com$
RewriteRule /(.*) http://www.mysite-1.com/$1
Or you could display a "Oops"-site if the given hostname is not
configured in the default-directory and give the user a hint that he had
made a typo.

We're running Apache 2.2 on Debian 7 (Wheezy). We run approximately 24 vhosts, mostly small sites but also one large site. Some sites are Drupal, some are Wordpress and some are handcoded going back to 1995.Our structure generally is: /home /home/mysite-1/public_html/index.html /home/mysite-2/public_html/index.html /home/mysite-3/public_html/index.html and so on... We prefer this structure rather than the Debian norm /var/www Here's the problem(s):On all of the sites calls to "mysite-1.com/index.html" works properly. Things also work with the cname "www" as that is explicitly defined as "ServerAlias www.mysite-1.com" in the vhost file under sites-available. So calls to "www.mysite-1.com/index.html" also work.But when someone mistypes the URL, things go wrong.For example, typing ww1.mysite-1.com takes us to the /home directory, up two levels and displays a directory listing of everything under /home.I made a quick fix by adding a dummy file at /home/index.htmlWithout that plug, a directory of all sites under /home displays, allowing access to files above the public_html directory on all our sites.But even with the /home/index.html file, one can just type a URL such as:http://ww1.mysite-1.com/mysite-2/ and view anything in mysite-2 above public_html.I probably could restrict directory access using .htaccess, but I'd prefer to find the cause of the issue.I spent some time simplifying the files under "sites-available" to remove anything that might cause these errors. (hence my questions yesterday about /share/doc and cgi-bin).I considered that the problem might have been something in the apache2.conf file. But I looked closely there and found nothing.I suspect the problem is in the "sites-available/default" vhost file and the symlink "/sites-enabled/000-default" and might have to do with our changing the /var/www entry to /home.Is the default file and 000-default symlink needed? If so, why is that? But I could use some guidance on all this. Here's a typical vhost file:<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName mysite-1.com ServerAlias www.mysite-1.com DocumentRoot /home/mysite-1/public_html/ <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /home/mysite-1/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mysite-1.error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mysite-1.access.log combined# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, alert, emerg.LogLevel warn</VirtualHost>and here is the default file:<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /home/ <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /home/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Allowoverride Indexes Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,# alert, emerg.
