I forgot to mention in previous message why is it taking atutor as default. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/details.html is the document I am trying to understand but a default virtualhost thing is not clear to me. Following lines " the request is served from the _default_ vhost if there is such a vhost for the port to which the client sent the request. If there is no matching _default_ vhost the request is served from the main_server." does that mean I need to have following line ServerName default which tells that this is the default vhost to be served. I just got a reply from some one on a different problem http://www.spinics.net/lists/apache-users/msg95700.html but this is some how related to this problem also. I am not able to understand how does Apache sees the vhosts i.e. how does it decided which vhost it has to serve first and which vhost it has to serve later. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
