[Administrator <ad...@unitedinfotechs.net>]

Hello guys,

I been using those three server for more then two years without changing
anything in httpd.conf
or the format of vhosts.conf in conf.d I simply use to add a new file of
virtual host and restart webserver
it use to work fine now after last update of apache I had following problem
with all three machines.

none of the virtual host is working as before it was,, now I am getting
Apache startup page which is located
at /var/www/html where for certain domain it should open
/home/domain-name/public_html.

Result of httpd -S is as follows
