What I did for community.iconsf.org was add this to /etc/apache/httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName community.iconsf.org
DocumentRoot /home/name-of-user/public_html
</VirtualHost>

(There's no content there yet, but the Apache configuration works.)

In general, the DocumentRoot statement might be the solution to your
problem.
