And somehow you are asking for Apache to include everything in the extra/vhosts directory?

You need to define a default vhost as the first vhost it loads. That means, if you're automatically loading everything in extra/vhosts, write a file which will sort first alphabetically and set up your default vhost in that. Or define the default vhost directly in httpd.conf.

You can use IP-based virtual hosting if you want, but there's no need to; name-based virtual hosting works fine if you set it up correctly, which isn't hard to do.
