Setting DNS records and virtualhost

Question

My website currently lives on beta.tpe-edu.com
I want to make it accessible directly on tpe-edu.com (to point to the same location), but can't make it work (ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED).
Domain is registered via namecheap - DNS records (TLS 1 minute):

A record | IP Address: 52.28.32.146 | beta
A record | IP Address: 52.28.32.146 | www
A record | IP Address: 52.28.32.146 | @

Website is running on Amazon's EC2 (Debian).
Apache Virtualhost:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName tpe-edu.com
   ServerAdmin admin@tpe-edu.com
   DocumentRoot /opt/tpe/public
   <Directory />
      Options +FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All
   </Directory>
   ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log


</VirtualHost>

access via 'beta' or IP works fine
DNS records was changes about 48 hours ago.

Any ideas what I should check?

You do not have any aliases in your virtualhost for www and beta. — Lexib0y, Oct 30 '15 at 00:08
If it's his only configuration it will default to this vhost anyway. You should stick to www. And 301 the root domain there — Jacob Evans, Oct 30 '15 at 04:33
If it is his only one than he should not even need a virtualhost, than the default server would be enough. — Lexib0y, Oct 30 '15 at 07:04

There is a glitch in Namecheap's administration.
DNS records which are set to OFF are still active (so it collides with other records).

Confirmed by their support.
