Hi everybody,
I’ve got a Debian 9 wth ISPConfig 3 installed and the vhost doesn’t seem to work, my droplet’s address is tikiwebdev.tk, when I type tikiwebdev.tk I get forwarded to the correct web folder, but I have another domain: alexdownunder.tk, when I type this address I get forwarded to tikiwebdev’s web folder. I’ve got another web server with ISPConfig installed and I don’t have that problem.
I’ve created the domain on the Digital Ocean admin panel, redirecting to the IP of the server (for both domains).
Here is the result of the apache2ctl -S command:
VirtualHost configuration:
167.99.225.23:80 tikiwebdev.tk (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/100-tikiwebdev.tk.vhost:7)
167.99.225.23:443 tikiwebdev.tk (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/100-tikiwebdev.tk.vhost:92)
*:8081 tikiwebdev.tk (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-apps.vhost:9)
*:8080 tikiwebdev.tk (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-ispconfig.vhost:9)
*:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server tikiwebdev.tk (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)

I cannot seem to understand what is wrong as the vhost conf files between the two ISPConfig servers are identical but it works on one but not the other.
Thank you!

First off, I’m not sure the code above is formatted well.
For a virtual host to serve docs from another directory, you’ll need to declare a DocumentRoot in the virtual host.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/domain1"
ServerName domain1.com
ServerAlias www.domain1.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/domain2"
ServerName domain2.com
ServerAlias www.domain2.com
</VirtualHost>
My suggestion will be to start with something small and then add additional lines of code to identify where exactly the issue starts.
