I'm having problems getting my ServerAlias domains to work correctly. apache2ctl -S gives:
IP.ADDRESS:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server byteinsight.net (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost byteinsight.net (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)
wild alias *.byteinsight.uk
wild alias *.byteinsight.co.uk
wild alias *.bristolwebsitedesigner.co.uk
port 80 namevhost davies-barnard.co.uk (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:15)
wild alias *.davies-barnard.uk
port 80 namevhost tdaviesbarnard.co.uk (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:30)
wild alias *.greenotter.co.uk
port 80 namevhost weather.davies-barnard.uk (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:57)
port 80 namevhost weewx.davies-barnard.uk (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:70)
port 80 namevhost compu2learn.uk (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:84)
wild alias *.compu2learn.co.uk
wild alias *.compu2learn.org.uk
I've followed the guidance here and added the ServerName into the virtual host declaration e.g.
<VirtualHost byteinsight.net:80>...
and I have restarted Apache. I tried to add NameVirtualHost *:80 but was told it was not necessary and was going to be removed at the next update. I have also looked at this one and updated my settings to reflect the example given on the apache TroubleshootingVhosts page.
What have I missed?
Thanks

Ok, so I sussed this out in the end.
First I needed to heed the advice from VirtualHost ignores ServerName and ServerAlias and put the domain as listed in my main apache.conf file as global ServerName first in the virtual hosts file.
I also need to use full domains and not wild cards e.g.
and not
