Mark,

Looking at your original post, you have a single site. The virtualhost 
directives are not needed for this so if you don't want to get deep into 
Apache httpd administration you may like to avoid using them. They are 
all commented out by default.

I don't have a commonapache2.conf file either. I've never heard of it so 
I would think it is a customisation someone has put in.

Rick's single "Alias" line should be all you need.
