virtual hosts overlapping in debian apache2

Question

I have a domain domain.com and a subdomain sub.domain.com .

In apache2/sites-available I have 2 vhosts files: domain and sub.

When I do a2ensite sub the subdomain overwrites the domain, so when I go to see the main domain I see the content for the subdomain. WHen the subdomain is added both the domain and the subdomain point to the subdomain.

What am I doing wrong?

Here are the vhosts

DOMAIN

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName www.domain.com

    DocumentRoot /var/www/domain/
    <Directory />

            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all
            # This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
# in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
#            RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
    </Directory>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
    <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
            AllowOverride None
            Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

I have not read the configuration files yet. But I would like you to definitely go and check /etc/apache2/sites-enabled

Is sub-domain linked with a number before the domain.com?

example 010-sub links to /etc/apache2/subdomain.conf

and 020-sub links to /etc/apache2/domain.conf

so that Apache will parse first subdomain.conf given a request.

no they are not. can I add manually the priority number? – Elzo Valugi Oct 21 '10 at 08:48
renaming them in sites-available and reloading them worked for the moment. another resource on the issue here. http://serverfault.com/questions/132770/whats-wrong-with-my-virtualhost – Elzo Valugi Oct 21 '10 at 08:55
So I assume your issue is solved, what you can do is rm a file and ln -s ... it again – Dimitrios Mistriotis Oct 21 '10 at 17:08
