I have two sites on a server: dev.somedomain.com and somedomain.com - the latter has a ServerAlias of *.somedomain.com. All domains are SSL-enabled, and all requests to port 80 is redirected to https. The somedomain.com site is a proxy of an old site, on a different server, that is about to be decommisioned.

dev.somedomain.com works like a charm
somedomain.com is for some reason "caught" by the 000-default.conf configuration (https is not), but www.somedomain.com (the serveralias *.somedomain.com) is NOT "caught" by 000-default.conf, and is working as expected.

If I disable the 000-default.conf, everything seems to work, except for dev.somedomain.com/phpmyadmin (which DOES work with 000-default enabled - I think I understand why)

I've searched high and low, but been unable to figure this out.

somedomain.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName dev.somedomain.com

Redirect 301 / dev.somedomain.com </VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName somedomain.com
ServerAlias *.somedomain.com

Redirect 302 / somedomain.com/ </VirtualHost>


And the 000-default.conf, which seems to break somedomain.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>


somedomain-ssl.conf: (this one does not seem to have any problems, but included here to be sure)

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName dev.somedomain.com

DocumentRoot "/var/www/somedomain/wwwroot"

Long question short: why does somedomain.com show apaches default page, while www.somedomain.com is - as expected - redirected to somedomain.com?
I assume the answer is obvious, and I'm just blind, but I really have no idea what's going on.

Thank you

EDIT

VirtualHost configuration:
*:443 is a NameVirtualHost
default server dev.somedomain.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/somedomain-ssl.conf:2)
port 443 namevhost dev.somedomain.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/somedomain-ssl.conf:2)
port 443 namevhost somedomain.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/somedomain-ssl.conf:35)
*:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server somedomain.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost somedomain.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost dev.somedomain.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/somedomain.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost somedomain.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/somedomain.conf:7)
wild alias *.somedomain.com
