    Hey there.
    So as the title says, I created a site, and no matter what i put in the web folder, it always displays the welcome page. I've even deleted the site, and it still shows the default welcome page when i go to the url.
    I'm at a loss as to how to fix this. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

    Through process of elimination, i have found out that the site is pointing the web root another site on my server. What could be the cause of this?

    My guess is that site is broken somehow, and your web server displays the default site or the site that is first in alphabetic order. Since I know neither the OS you have nor the web server, can not give advice on how to debug.

    Apologies for the lack of details, i was a bit frantic when i posted. I'm running Apache 2.4 on Debian 8.

    Try
    Code:
    apachectl -S 
    Also
    Code:
    less /var/log/apache2/error.log

    Figured out what was causing it. I hadn't select an IP address for the site in the domain settings and had just left it at the wildcard.
    Thanks for the help
