Hi Muhammad,
It looks like you are mixing named and IP based virtual hosts. You should have 
the IP defined early in the main/global part of the config file. 

NameVirtualHost use the hostname as the identifier and all use the same IP and 
usually port.  If you are just wanting to use port numbers for diffent sites, 
you can go with IP based Virtual Hosts. I beleive this is well documented at 
httpd.apache.org (search the docs area)

Here is a sample of 3 "Named Virtual Hosts" I had set up (it is the 
"ServerName" "ServerAlias" that is used to ID them):

## My Virtual Hosts
NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName linux1.ca
ServerAlias nesbitt.yi.org *.nesbitt.yi.org
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.wineislands.info
ServerAlias wineislands.info *.wineislands.info
DocumentRoot /var/www_rae/html
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.vhd.ca
ServerAlias vhd.ca *.vhd.ca
DocumentRoot /var/www_vhd/html
</VirtualHost>
