Hi André,

I figured it out before I read your message but yes that seems to be
what happened. I have removed the other terms from
/etc/apache2/sites-available/darcs in ServerAlias so it now has:

<VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName darcs.jesujuva.org
       ServerAlias darcs.jesujuva.org
       DocumentRoot /var/www/darcs
</VirtualHost>

I restarted apache and it works. Someone had recommended I add those
terms to ServerAlias and that is what screwed me up. This was the
first time I setup a virtual host so I must be careful what *advice* I
apply :-) BTW by ServerName it is the subdomain (ie.
http://darcs.jesujuva.org) and then what is the difference exactly
between that and ServerAlias?
