domain is pointing to default static page on server but settings look correct

Question

I have edited my apache vhost file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to add the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mysite.cn
ServerAlias mysite.cn *.mysite.cn
DocumentRoot /home/user/static/mysite/cn
</VirtualHost>

It still points to the default site on the server when i browse to mysite.cn but when i enter anything along the lines of ww3.mysite.cn it point to the new correct document root any clues of what the problem could be as i am lost.

Answer 1

The wrong page is cached somewhere; depending on the somewhere try these things:

• Apache: sudo apache2ctl restart
• Your web browser: close and restart, perhaps delete cached files, or try another browser
• Your local computer DNS settings: flush your DNS cache (first Google link)

For obvious performance reasons, both your web browser and your apache server are very dedicated to caching things.
