Q:

Why is my Virtual Host setup ignored?

in /srv/www/vhosts/myproject.de/subdomains/trac/conf my vhost.conf file is located: http://pastebin.com/xTgdnkvr
However apache seems to ignore this setup. Every http request is routed to /srv/www/vhosts/myproject.de/subdomains/trac/httpdocs instead of to /srv/www/vhosts/myproject.de/subdomains/trac/htdocs.
After making changes to the vhost file I always reconfigure it and restart httpd from command line.
Any idea what might be wrong? Maybe some other config overwrites it?

A:

Probably because another configuration file / directive is overriding the one you think the system should be using.
Computers only do what they're told, so somewhere you must be telling it that you want "httpdocs" instead of "htdocs".  grep around in your Apache configuration directory for the httpdocs path and work from there.
