Ok I have some problems and questions

[joximu]

"apache2 -S" always helps to see what vhosts are configured and where the default is.

[samducker]

which subdomain should 00_master.conf file have... as it has the admin subdomain at the moment

It's right if you want to use admin.straw............

What is happening when you visit admin.straw.......?

[joximu]

I have this when running "apache2 -S"

Code:

the awstat/proxy (127.0.0.1)
...
1.2.3.4:80         is a NameVirtualHost
         default server adminpanel.abc.xy (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/00_master.conf:8)
         port 80 namevhost adminpanel.abc.xy (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/00_master.conf:8)
...
and then the customer sites

so the adminpanel.domain is also the default page.

/J

could not connect to server

Looks like it isn't resolving. DNS issue most probably.

Please note I'm currently using a dodgy 3G connection so results may not be accurate

Still not right though.

[samducker]

I reinstalled apache and it seems to be working

[rsmithgs]

Seems to work now, I think you may have a problem with NS2.strawberrymilkshakes.co.uk though

[rsmithgs]

Weird that reinstalling Apache fixed it as dig is now displaying the following for admin.strawberrymilkshakes.co.uk

So seems the issue (from what I can see) was DNS and that reinstalling apache was coincidental.

Would still check your NS2 though.
