Running apache on Fedora.

My virtual host config looks like : 

NameVirtualHost 184.106.108.173:80

<VirtualHost 184.106.108.173:80>
  ServerName www.sandboxmadness.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/admin/public
    <Directory "/var/www/admin/public">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All   
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 184.106.108.173:80>
  ServerAlias www.meatball-parm.us
  DocumentRoot /var/www/meatball
  ServerName www.meatball-parm.us
  DirectoryIndex index.html
</VirtualHost>

The first vhost works like a champ. When I resolve the meatball address, the browser opens the right folder, but displays a directory listing, instead of opening the index file.

Hate to ask the obvious question but. . . have you restarted Apache? – Rilindo Oct 12 '11 at 15:47

You may want to try clearing yourbrowser cache. When I try www.meatball-parm.us I get connected and redirected to a worldpress install/blog. – Iain♦ Oct 12 '11 at 18:00

Fixed it. . . it turned out to be a depreciated DirectoryIndex directive hidden away in the main conf file. Looks like a virtual host directive will not override a directive specified in the main conf. Stackexchange wont let me answer my question for another 4 hours. (Not enough rep) Thanks for all the help though ;) – TuK Oct 12 '11 at 18:27

Found it. . . there was another DirectoryIndex directive buried in the conf file, that was set to index.php. Apparently a directive specified in a virtual host does not overwrite directives specified in the 'main configuration'.

Could you check your logs ? You will maybe see an error (file not openable, directory not readable...). If you type the URL with the end with index.html, is it working ? Your index is not PHP or something else ?
