[clue-tech] my Apache2 server is going to /var/www rather than namebased domains

If your web server is running at all (sounds like it is) then its config 
file is (syntacticly) correct.  So you can read that and see what it's 
doing and why, and ask questions about parts you don't understand.

If you don't want to get into the guts of the config you can diff 
/etc/apache2 against a backup from when it was working.  That should 
make it pretty obvious.

Sorry, since your problem doesn't seem to produce any error messages all 
we can really do to help is look at your config and see how it doesn't 
match your requirements.  But you'd be better off doing that yourself.

On Debian, which should be close to Ubuntu, the apache2 config is pretty 
modular.  So your virtual hosts (which is the first place to look) are 
defined in /etc/apache2/sites-available with links in sites-enabled. 
That's assuming you didn't change any DNS or other externals that would 
affect the HTTP requests you get.

Good luck.
