HI

you have to have "NameVirtualHost *:80" before the first virtual host.
then the VirtualHost directive should be as follow:
<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName www.mydomain.com
	...
</VirtualHost>

you have to do the same with ':443' if you want SSL virtual hosts.

the above instructions are for VirtualHosts running on the same IP. if
you want to run each virtual host on a separate IP you have to discard
the 'NameVirtualHost' directive and replace the '*' with ipaddress in
the 'VirtualHost' directive.
