Can't make vhosts to work :(

Posted on August 27, 2013

I am successfully using WebMin to a ubuntu server I have, but I cannot make vhosts to work in a new CentOS server. If I have only the default server installed in /var/www/html when I try to see my server using the IP address, I see the /var/www/html/index.html (that’s correct). When I create a new vhost, although I setup directory and servername, the whole server (even with ip address) looks to this folder. I tried to find what it is but I cant. I noticed that the option " New file under virtual servers directory" is missing from the add new vhost form. Any idea?
