I'm trying to configure Apache as an in-network webserver, and am using the sites-available/sites-enabled feature as opposed to just static vhost files. I set up a couple VirtualHosts, all with a unique DocumentRoot, however request for all the VirtualHosts just serve up the "It's Working!" default file. I can't for the life of me figure out why it won't serve the content out of the correct directory. Here's the contents of the virtualhost directive files, let me know if I need to post more.
default
(note that apache renames this to 000-default
in sites-enabled, so it's not an ordering issue)
NameVirtualHost *:80

ServerRoot /home/empression/Projects/billmed/web/httpdocs
<Directory "/home/empression/Projects/billmed/web/httpdocs">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Note that I have DNS zones for both emp
and billmed.emp
, as well as entries in /etc/hosts. My ultimate goal is to set up this machine as an in-house webserver with a custom tld (emp), but progress has been pretty slow.

# If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
# have to change the VirtualHost statement in
# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
# This is also true if you have upgraded from before 2.2.9-3 (i.e. from
# Debian etch). See /usr/share/doc/apache2.2-common/NEWS.Debian.gz and

I wasn't able to work on this for a few weeks, but I have tried all the solutions posted below as of now, and am still unable to fix the problem so I have added a bounty.
Update
Here's the output of apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS
empression@empression-server1:~$ apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[Mon Jul 12 14:29:01 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80 has no VirtualHosts
VirtualHost configuration:
192.168.1.100:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server billmed.emp (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/billmed:1)
port 80 namevhost billmed.emp (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/billmed:1)
Syntax OK
Best Answer
In virtual host definition file, correct the line below.
ServerRoot /home/empression/Projects/billmed/web/httpdocs
toDocumentRoot /home/empression/Projects/billmed/web/httpdocs
Use DocumentRoot directive to serve virtualhost. here is the link for more information http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html
Update your virtualhost definition (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/billmed) as following,
