do you have

NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your 'real' IP Address

and sections like:
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
ServerAdmin webmaster at somesite.com
lDocumentRoot /some/document/root
ServerName              somesite.com
ErrorLog                logs/somesite.com-error_log
TransferLog             logs/somesite.com-access_log
</VirtualHost>

the namevirtualhost with the IP Address says that users connecting to that
address
may be doing a virtutalhost request and the <virtualhost></virtualhost>
stuff next
maps them to the servername that they are trying to get too.

#include file can't start with a '/'.
#inclide virutal can, but it's located off of your document root.
