Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean by "VM config". I guess you mean an Apache VirtualHost? You're right, in that case; and I'll definitely add a note to that effect. It's unfortunate that we can't really make this Just Work but then again the user would have had to configure things manually in any case, so clearer documentation ought to be sufficient.
