vhost Default disabled and other sites showing with 404 error.

[WeaponX]

This is what is happening.
When i disable the vhost "default" site from sites-available, ispconfig site and mail site get a 404 error when going to the url.

So, when the vhost "default" site is enabled all other sites are working fine.
I have searched for a global config on apache and ispconfig, but no cigar.

Any help will be apreciated. Thanks in advanced.

The default site is a requirement in a ispconfig setup. So disabling it means to disable everal services.

So if you want to use ispconfig on that server, dont disable system requirements for ispconfig like the default vhost.

I had a problem recent that looks a bit like this one. The "default" Vhost seems to block 1 site. This site had the domain the server itself had to host some general scripts and tools.
When I changed the FDN belonging to the public IP in /etc/hosts to a another domain the problem was gone.
So, dont try to host a site under the same domain as your server has, in my case it fails to server the content of the default Vhost.

Maybe its of use to someone searching for this.
