Virtual Host setting not working - apache

Question

I am hosting two domains on a vps server. The domains, let say www.abc.net(or abc.net) and www.xyz.net(or xyz.net) have following config
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName abc.net
ServerAlias www.abc.net
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/abc.net
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/abc.net.error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/abc.net.access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
and
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName xyz.net
ServerAlias www.xyz.net
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/xyz.net
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/xyz.net.error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/xyz.net.access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
apart from these I have default apache2 00-default-site.conf (unchanged)and rutorrent.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAlias *
DocumentRoot /var/www/
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/rutorrent.log vhost_combined
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/rutorrent_error.log
SCGIMount /rutorrent/RPC2 127.0.0.1:5000
<Directory "/var/www/rutorrent">
AuthName "user1"
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user
AuthUserFile /var/www/rutorrent/.htpasswd
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Assuming my ip as t.u.v.w I have following /etc/hosts file set
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 template.pcsmarthosting.co.uk template
t.u.v.w abc.net
t.u.v.w xyz.net
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
I am able to access www.abc.net correctly as it goes to correct folder, however www.xyz.net goes to /var/www/ same as http://t.u.v.w
www.xyz.net doesn't work even when it is the only enabled site.
How do I fix this?

Answer 1

Systems hostname might be www.xyz.net , which means that 000-default acts as if it has "ServerName www.xyz.net" implicitly.
You should put a dummy ServerName in the 000-default so there's no risk.
