Apache Virtual Host not working as expected?

I had an older ubuntu server with a previous apache configuration that I'm trying to set up again on a newer hardy system.

I have two items under sites-enabled, one for my gallery page and one for the main page.

the web root is /var/www/introspection.net.au/web/

The gallery files are kept under ./gallery2 of the webroot, and the main webpage is under ./web/ of the webroot

my two sites configs are as follows:

Main site:

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerName introspection.net.au
        ServerAlias www.introspection.net.au
        DocumentRoot /var/www/introspection.net.au/web
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www_ins/web>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
        ServerSignature On
</VirtualHost>

Gallery site:

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerName gallery.introspection.net.au
        DocumentRoot /var/www/introspection.net.au/web/gallery2
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www_ins/web/gallery2>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
        ServerSignature On
</VirtualHost>

However, when I go to gallery.introspection.net.au, it simply redirects me to the main webroot instead of going to the correct place. Any ideas as to why?

It works fine from here i.e. www.introspection.net.au goes to your website (blue banner) and gallery.introspection.net.au goes to the Gallery 2.1 installer pages.

Perhaps your broswer cache needs clearing?

You just checked it in the few moments since I fixed it ;)

The default install of apache symlinks the default virtualhost configuration file in to be loaded first. Foolishly I deleted it thinking it didn't matter, but there is one key line right at the top of the configuration file:

NameVirtualHost *

Once that was put back it is all fixed. Now I just have to configure drupal with mod-rewrite to get it back and working again!
