Virtual Host Apache2 doesn't work

Question

I tried to add an second Domain to my dedicated server. My standard domain 1 should connect to normal /var/www/ path and my second domain should point to /var/www/domain.

Changed some thing (see comments) and now I get an 404 Error

My enabled sites configs look like:

default domain:

ServerAdmin [email protected]

DocumentRoot /var/www/
<Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
        AllowOverride None
        Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

second domain:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.second-domain.net
ServerAlias second-domain.net *.second-domain.net
DocumentRoot /www/domain
</VirtualHost>

hosts Document:

fe00::0         ip6-localnet
ff00::0         ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1         ip6-allnodes
ff02::2         ip6-allrouters

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
# Auto-generated hostname. Please do not remove this comment.
2a06:1c40::xxx k4lim
::1 localhost

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       domain1.name
185.101.92.XXX  domain2.name

T he error I get when I try to open the site in Firefox is: The DNS Adress of the domain could not be found.

Would be really thankful for any ideas and help!

Does nslookup domain2.name show the right IP address?
Does ping domain2.name show the right IP address?
Is it a local or a world wide domain? If local you have to ask your local dns admin to add it.
Alternatively you can add it to /etc/hosts on your local machine. Not on the server.
Have a look at cat /etc/resolv.conf if the right dns server is listet.
If it's a global domain: Is there a connection to the outside?
