[gentoo-user] OT - Need help setting up a name-based virtual host in Apache

[Michael Sullivan <michael@espersunited.com>]

I hope this email gets to the list.  My last post didn't.  This is
semi-urgent.  Over the past year I've been developing a PHP-based web
interface for my college's music festival.  This web interface would
allow participating directors to enter all their information via the
Internet, rather than having to send it to us and having us do all the
work.  The interface is now ready for widespread use (as opposed to the
handful of directors I've had testing it and returning feedback.)  The
problem is this:  The web address of the interface is
http://camille.espersunited.com/~festival .  I want to them to be able
to use http://festival.espersunited.com because it's easier to remember
(some of them don't remember that they have bookmarks.)  I created a
file in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d for this:

camille vhosts.d # cat 01_festival_vhost.conf
<VirtualHost *>
   ServerName festival.espersunited.com
   DocumentRoot /home/festival/webspace/html
   <Directory /home/festival/webspace/html>
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

>From the information I can find for what I'm trying to do, this seems to
be the correct syntax.  I set up a CNAME record in my espersunited.com
DNS configuration to point festival.espersunited.com at
camille.espersunited.com .  However, when I reloaded apache2 and went to
http://festival.espersunited.com, instead of seeing the interface
at /home/festival/webspace/html/index.php, I
saw /var/www/localhost/htdocs/index.html .  Is something wrong with my
config?  Please help!
