Apache2 only serves first virtualhost

[Mark Van Crombrugge <mark.vancrombrugge@xxxxxxx>]

I moved some websites from an Apache1 to an Apache2 server which was  
allready hosting one site (defined by a colleague some months ago).
Added the second site to the httpd.conf file but the first one is  
allways served, even when typing the URL of the second one.

If you change the position of the sites in the httpd.conf, it is  
obvious that it is allways the first site who is served.

Must have defined about 40-50 websites on a multitude of servers and  
never had this problem.

I can not ask my colleague what he changed in the original config file  
because he is on sick leave for many months to come.

I joined three versions of the config files and the output of 'httpd - 
S' : any hint that can make me see the light and get this to work will  
make my week!

Also replaced "*.80" with "<ipaddress>:80" and just "<ipaddress>",  
same result.
If I copy this to an Apache1 server, it works...

Thanks in advance for helping a frustrated IT dude.

CHECKED FIRST HTTPD.CONF  WITH HTTPD -S:

VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
_default_:8443         server1.test.org (/etc/httpd/conf.d/nss.conf:73)
_default_:443          server1.test.org (/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:81)
*:80                   is a NameVirtualHost
         default server www.website1.org (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: 
1050)
         port 80 namevhost www.website1.org (/etc/httpd/conf/ 
httpd.conf:1050)
         port 80 namevhost www.website2.org (/etc/httpd/conf/ 
httpd.conf:1075)
         port 80 namevhost www.website3.org (/etc/httpd/conf/ 
httpd.conf:1088)
Syntax OK
