Having difficulties getting my vhosts to work properly

Question

I have my URL (example.com:8010) pointing to my server, which works and goes to the /var/www directory properly. I created another vhost file to go to the test directory but when I type the URL for that in with a subdomain it does not work (test.example.com:8010), only typing it in with a slash works (example.com:8010/test).

EDIT: Something I forgot to mention is that when I do go to test.example.com:8010 it goes to the default /var/www folder, and that typing text.example.com:8010/test obviously goes to the test folder.

Here is my vhost for the two entries:

Example.com -

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName example.com
        ServerAdmin [e-mail]
        DocumentRoot /var/www
        <Directory /var/www/>
                AllowOverride All
                Order Deny,Allow
                Allow from All
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:8010>
        ServerName example.com
        ServerAdmin [e-mail]
        DocumentRoot /var/www
        <Directory /var/www/>
                AllowOverride All
                Order Deny,Allow
                Allow from All
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Test.Example.com -

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName test.example.com
        ServerAdmin [e-mail]
        DocumentRoot /var/www/test
        <Directory /var/www/test/>
                AllowOverride All
                Order Deny,Allow
                Allow from All
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:8010>
        ServerName test.example.com
        ServerAdmin [e-mail]
        DocumentRoot /var/www/test
        <Directory /var/www/test/>
                AllowOverride All
                Order Deny,Allow
                Allow from All
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I should also mention that I have another vhost for that test directory set up so that on my local network i can type test.lacol and it goes to that directory, which works:

<VirtualHost *:80>
            ServerName test.lacol
            ServerAdmin [e-mail]
            DocumentRoot /var/www/test
            <Directory /var/www/test/>
                    AllowOverride All
                    Order Deny,Allow
                    Allow from All
            </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

    <VirtualHost *:8010>
            ServerName test.lacol
            ServerAdmin [e-mail]
            DocumentRoot /var/www/test
            <Directory /var/www/test/>
                    AllowOverride All
                    Order Deny,Allow
                    Allow from All
            </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

Answer 1

I had to enable the site.

sudo a2ensite example.com

Answer 2

Looks like you have <VirtualHost> *:80> spelled incorrectly. Should be <VirtualHost *:80>

Answer 3

Have you configured yous site at /etc/hosts? If you have, look at your php.ini and look for your open_basedir configuration. open_basedir, if set, limits all file operations to the defined directory and below.

If it is not defined, look at your /var/log/apache2/error.log. Maybe it can help you.
