>Description:
All sites point to the DocumentRoot as setted in the last <VirtualHost>

My httpd.conf is like this:


<VirtualHost wow.rrm.net>
Servername wow.rrm.net
DocumentRoot /home/rrm/wow
</VirtualHost>

Listen 195.109.88.64:80

ServerAlias www.rrm.net

in srm.conf the DocumentRoot is setted to the general DocumentRoot.

Summarizing:
wow.rrm.net is a CNAME for rrm.net
wow.rrm.net should point to directory ~rrm/wow, as setted in the VirtualHost directive
rrm.net should point to directory ~rrm/www as setted as the main DocumentRoot directive
rrm.net now goes to wow.rrm.net
