defining VirtualHosts in apache fails - apache

Question

i tried using the vhost file (httpd-vhosts.conf) in apache to define different directories for different domain names. i defined it as follow and restarted apache.
no success - when i try to reach www.domain.mx it does not take me to the path mentioned in the documentroot.
i made sure the vhost file is included in the httpd.conf file and its module is loaded.
what am i doing wrong?
NameVirtualHost 12.12.65.90:80
NameVirtualHost domain.mx:80
NameVirtualHost www.domain.mx:80
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
<VirtualHost 12.12.65.90:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#23.21.65.90
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/"
ServerName 12.12.65.90
ServerAlias http://12.12.65.90/
ErrorLog "logs/general-errors.log"
CustomLog "logs/general.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost domain.mx:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#domain.mx
DocumentRoot "/taska/"
ServerName domain.mx
ServerAlias domain.mx
ErrorLog "logs/domain-errors.log"
CustomLog "logs/domain.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost www.domain.mx:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#domain.mx
DocumentRoot "/taska/"
ServerName www.domain.mx
ServerAlias www.domain.mx
ErrorLog "logs/domain-errors.log"
CustomLog "logs/domain.log" combined
</VirtualHost>

apparently this is the way to do it (using serverAlias):
NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#domain.mx
DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/taska"
DirectoryIndex taska.html
ServerName domain.mx
ServerAlias domain.mx
ErrorLog "logs/domain-errors.log"
CustomLog "logs/domain.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#domain.com
DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/taska"
DirectoryIndex taska.html
ServerName www.domain.mx
ServerAlias *.domain.mx
ErrorLog "logs/domain-errors.log"
CustomLog "logs/domain.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#21.11.65.90
DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias 21.11.65.90
ErrorLog "logs/general-errors.log"
CustomLog "logs/general.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
<Directory C:/xampp/htdocs/taska>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
