Setup 2nd website after deploying nextcloud linode.

I'm having trouble setting up another website on same server I deployed linode nextcloud.

Nextcloud working fine. No problems, been using for a while. I decided to try setting up a 2nd website on linode using the same apache server. Followed some guides available online. After setting up, 2nd site keeps going to nextcloud login. Tried from several different devices and different browsers. All goes to nextcloud site. I have collected some info and will paste below.

contents of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/othersite.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin notroot@localhost.com
     ServerName othersite.dname.com
     DirectoryIndex index.html
     DocumentRoot /var/www/othersite/public_html/
     ErrorLog /var/www/othersite/logs/error.log
     CustomLog /var/www/othersite/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

The curl header output has the ‘othersite’ in the location:

Location: http://othersite.dname.com/index.php/login

The virtual hosts are using the same IP and the dns seems to be routing to that IP ok. It ‘seems’ to be a php setting that I’m not familiar with that maybe? redirecting to nextcloud? I don’t have any php or any other processing lang setup for the other site. Just serving static html files.

Restarted apache, reloaded configs manually… Used different browsers on different devices. All times goes to nextcloud site’s login. Does not go to othersite’s index.html
