issue.

When i m going to\* [http://localhost](http://localhost)\* ,i see my website  
But when i try to go to the virtual host (server block) \*  
[http://localhost/websvn](http://localhost/websvn)\*  
I get an error because he try to find a webpage with the name _websvn_  
on  
my first website.  
I don’t understand why ??
