Error with new domains, httpd.include HUGE PROBLEM

We have a webserver with Plesk 8, but we have some serious problems.

We have two domains on the system, they work fine.

But when we make a new domein (add) on what for user, the system (apache) is getting errors and will not start up any more.

Test domain, (tested with many more)
Code:
Stopping httpd:                                            [FAILED]
Starting httpd: httpd: could not open document config file /home/httpd/vhosts/test.nl/conf/httpd.include
                                                           [FAILED]

Thats one, ok now I'm looking for the problem, I checked the httpd.include file, but could'n find any problems or wrong inputs in that file.

Ok, second...

Chmod 777 httpd.include.. same problem.. and chown root:root httpd.include...

Code:
# /home/httpd/vhosts/test.nl/conf/httpd.include
/home/httpd/vhosts/test.nl/conf/httpd.include: line 9: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
/home/httpd/vhosts/test.nl/conf/httpd.include: line 9: `<VirtualHost 195.114.20.101:80>'

Starting httpd?

Code:
# /sbin/service httpd start
Starting httpd: httpd: could not open document config file /home/httpd/vhosts/test.nl/conf/httpd.include
                                                           [FAILED]


I have checked everything, but nothing works....

Strange enough, two other domains (1 day old) will work..
 
BUMP

Anyone figure this out. We are having new domains created in plesk without a httpd.include file.

Starting httpd: httpd: could not open document config file /var/www/vhosts/domain.name/conf/httpd.include
[FAILED]
 
Well, for starters chmod 777 a config file is not a good idea.

At the MOST chmod 644 (root r/w and everyone else can read).

do this for me as root or someone with access to these folders:


Code:
ls -l /home/httpd/vhosts/test.nl/conf/httpd.include

ls -l /home/httpd/vhosts/test.nl/conf/

ls -ld /home/httpd/vhosts/test.nl/conf/

cat /home/httpd/vhosts/test.nl/conf/httpd.include

and post the results.

Thanks,
Bill
