Default virtual host will be the first loaded one. If you have multiple virtual hosts in same file, first from file will be default. If you have them in multiple files, VHost in first file will be default.
File are sorted alphabetical, with files starting with digit having highest priority:
Example000-default.conf
an.example.com.conf
example.com.conf
So let’s say you have enabled following hosts (you can see enabled hosts using ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled):
Sample Outputan.example.com.conf
example.com.conf
You want example.com to be default but it isn’t.
Disable it using a2dissite:
- sudo a2dissite example.com
Now rename it so it comes before an.example.com:
- sudo mv /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-example.com.conf
Enable it once again and restart Apache:
- sudo a2ensite 000-example.com
- sudo systemctl restart apache2
Try to visit site via IP, it should be working correctly this time.
