Virtualmin Server address not going correct place

Hi all,

I have my virtualmin server at fshlampserver.local

Before i created the first Virtual Server (manuscript.local) typing http://fshlampserver.local into a browser from a different machine on the lan correctly rendered the index.html page located at /var/www/index.html

After creating the VS manuscript.local when I type fshlampserver.local it renders the the index.html page located at /home/manuscript/public_html/index.html

Which is not exactly what I want. I suspect Virtualmin is set up by default with apache to do name-based hosting. So if a name cannot be found it should display the first virtual host listed.

Below is how virtualmin has configured apache

[code:1] NameVirtualHost * NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.56:80 <VirtualHost *> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

If i type in fshlampserver.local or 192.168.1.56 I want it to render the page in /var/www which is the first virtual server definition ... but it's not doing that for some reason.

If I manually remove NameVirtualHost * and in the first Virtualhost definition change <VirtualHost *> to <VirtualHost 192.168.1.56> only then do I get the behaviour i would like.

But my problem is if I edit this configuration manually will it in anyway confound virtualmin when it comes to configuring apache thru the virtualmin interface. Or can I safely make the manual edit.

Also does the change actually make any sense.

Thanks.
