    For some reason when I type in http://ww.wdforums.com instead of http://www.wdforums.com it goes to hindstudion.com which is the first domain added to the server and the main domain on that shared IP.

    I would think it would just give a 404 since I don\'t have a ww subdomain. What would I change to fix this?

    Make a base config entry for your http server..... that way it won\'t just route everything that resolves to the base IP of your machine to the first virtual host.

    Like make a virtual host for SERVER.HOSTNAME.NET (that comes before all the other ones). document root to /web/http_base or something and just touch a blank index.html in there. Make sure you set it up WITH the base IP of the server in the virtual host entry, don\'t use a name.
    (<VirtualHost 12.12.12.12>)
    (ServerName server.hostname.net)
    (DocumentRoot /web/http_base)
    (ServerAlias www.server.hostname.net)
    (/VirtualHost>)

    And then put stuff around it so nobody else kills it / removes it.... like WARNING THINGS

    ######### TOUCH AND DIE


    etc. :P
