I have instance with multiple interfaces and I am trying to configure Apache with IP-based virtual hosting to serve multiple websites, but for some reason it just returns the main document root.
I followed this tutorial to get multiple interfaces working.
What is wrong: The website should show /var/www/mydomain/index.html, but instead it shows /var/www/html/index.html.
What I have tried: Using *:80 in VirtualHost, which works but the goal is to have multiple VirtualHosts each from different IP/interface. Removing port from VirtualHost: Doesn't do anything. Changing Listen 80 to Listen 92.168.1.231:80, which fails with Cannot assign requested address: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 92.168.1.231:80. This is worrying and I haven't found any explanation what is happening. There is nothing else listening the port and if I just listen all 80 ports it works fine.

httpd.conf is pretty much vanilla except changing admin email, removing auto-indices from main document root and setting server name.

In the main server config you should have:
This instructs apache to listen on all interfaces (and thus on all IPs). Only change it, if you do not want apache to listen on all interfaces/IPs.
Your VHosts should be configured as follows:
Also check that your local dns server or
/etc/hostsfile is pointing to the correct IP address.
