Ubuntu 14 , LAMP Even after defining the vitualhost in apche2/sites-available/mydomain.com.conf the domain is still pointing to the var/www/html (which is the default root of server)
The actual directiry defined for mydomain was var/www/mydomain.com/public_html/ but i’m not sure why its not obeying the rule :-( I have setup two more domains, and they worked smoothly.

I would suggest you to disable the 000-deafult.conf If you want to keep it as a catch all virtualhost for ip / not configured domain which point to the same ip. Just rename it to like ZZZ-CATCH-ALL.conf and add [serverName default] & [serverAlias *]. The name doesn’t matter as long as it is the last in alphabetical order. 000-default.conf may work but making it the last may be better.
Could you post your Apache configuration to a pastebin? Without more information, it’s hard to know what’s going on here.
A few quick troubleshooting points… Did you enable the site configuration?
sudo a2ensite mydomain.com.conf
And make sure to restart Apache after any configuration changes:
sudo service apache2 restart
I got 500 response from www.ardortech.com and [ARDOR TECH VENTURES will be back soon in a new AVATAR!!] from ardortech.com same as http://ip
Did you use the same ServerName in other site configs or 000-default.conf? Listing /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to is there any other enabled sites.
