If you added the virtual domain through the GUI, you shouldn't put it in an
"extra.conf" file. You use the extra file for domains you don't add, or
sub-domains you don't add via the GUI. Some people have set up wildcard DNS
so that *anything.domain.com points to an IP. Then they use the extra.conf
file for those sub-domains to point to either an existing user directory, or
another directory. When you edit something in the httpd.conf file created by
the GUI you risk messing things up when you use the GUI again and it
rewrites the file from the stored info.
