Post install apache problems

We've just bought some new licenses (5555865) to go with new servers from FastHosts.co.uk. The default Centos 5 install they provide includes Matrix control panel, and they won't do a clean Centos install. I've removed the matrix packages with "rpm --erase matrixsa*" which ran ok.

I've created a test domain "test.bluepoppyonline.com" it gets added in httpd.conf fine, but i get the default website not the new content. I tried just creating a vhost in the apache module, rather than a new domain in VM with the same result.

It may be relevant, but the apache module can not delete vhosts. If i check a vhost and click "Delete Selected Servers" the page refreshs with no error, but the domain is still there.

Its as if the vhosts don't exist.

Running "httpd -S" returns the following

VirtualHost configuration:
88.208.249.39:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server test.bluepoppyonline.com (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:995)
port 80 namevhost test.bluepoppyonline.com (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:995)
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
_default_:443 megatron.bluepoppyonline.com (/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:81)
Syntax OK

We're a bit stuck, so any help would be appreciated
