The ServerAlias directive does not have an implicit wildcard, meaning that
'ServerAlias redminetest' will not match the 'Host: redminetestcluster'
header. Since no virtualhost is specified for the host redminetestcluster,
Apache HTTPD will pick the default virtualhost for handling the request
which is always the first virtualhost defined.
To solve your problem you should change your ServerAlias so it will match
any Host starting with 'redminetest': ServerAlias redminetest*
Kind regards,
