Hello world! :) After a long time (I didn't have enough time to test/change configuration things), I come back with my problem. Joshua, unfortunately I was forced to use different NameVirtualHost/ <Virtualhost> with names instead of IP address. This is because I use different vhost names on a server with only one IP address and want to have different log files. Besides, the reverse addressing resolution is not unique; so I cannot use IP in NameVirtualHost/ <Virtualhost>. OK, I did try that too after a backup of the original Vhosts.conf (it can work, except the log files) and I saw one change: when renaming index.htm to index.html, accessing www.vhost1.my_domain.ro leads me to the root of www.my_domain.ro. With index.htm I get the correct page. No, I don't have other Alias, RewriteRule or DirectoryIndex concerning that directory except what I've already shown you. I've checked thoroughly, I suppose grep does not lie. And now one of the weirdest thing: the problem is not reproducible! Reverting to the old Vhosts.conf, www.vhost1.my_domain.ro started to work properly!!! Now, why would that happen?! Now I cannot reproduce my problem anymore even if I didn't changing the configuration files at all except replacing Vhosts.conf according to your suggestion and then putting back the old version. The only change that happened in the last days was a restart of both DNS after adding some new computers (I have a master-slave DNS system) but I don't understand why would this change something. Even more, nothing is change in the DNS except the serial number and some supplementary names. So I would rather suppose a memory leak in something involving the name resolution part of apache 2.0.53. This would explain why Apache would care about the hostname when it shouldn't. Unfortunately I cannot report a bug since I can't reproduce it. Another argument for my supposition: I must remind here that www.vhost1.my_domain.ro has the root directory inside a user's home public_html, so www.my_domain.ro/~vhost1 is equivalent; however I had no problem accessing the page as a user homepage, so a DirectoryIndex problem would be excluded unless if I would have a DirectoryIndex statement in Vhosts.conf, which I don't. Sorry for the long mail, but this is the result of a long time testing. Thanks for the prompt responses!
