Weird result of server.xml for Virtual Host

[Chriz Yuen]

1. http://mainhost/ >> at IP-a
2. http://virtualhost/ >> at same IP as above.

It is strange that http://mainhost/virtualhost/ could be display as case 2.
Even virtualhost is not subfolder of mainhost.
Below is my server.xml.

<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">

If this was my problem I would try giving a complete absolute path for the appBase parameter.
