I am running Apache 1.3 on a Red Hat Linux box. We are using virtual
domains. My problem is in setting the default document directory, or more
spesficaly the directory that is displayed when none of the virtual domains
are found.

I tried:

<VirtualHost _Default_:*>
documentRoot /etc/fu/bar
</VirtualHost>

This has no effect. The server displays the first Virtual Host in my list.
Why?

Try putting the DocumentRoot directive outside of any VirtualHost directives

If you are using name virtual hosts, then the "default" virtual host is
the first listed virtual host. Any non-matching request will be served
by the first vhost listed in your configs.
