My mistake: I thought it was showing you /opt/rt4/share/html/index.html, 
which would have indicated that your rt.conf was being read but the 
ScriptAlias line not working. Anything that could cause that would 
normally cause Apache to complain, either during its startup or when a 
suitable URL was requested.

If you're seeing /var/www/html/ as the document root, that implies 
Apache isn't recognizing the URL you're giving it as mapping to the 
virtual host you've defined in rt.conf.

Try running "httpd -S" (basically: a summary of Apache's parsed 
configuration) and see what it says about virtual hosts. My first guess 
would be that you need a ServerName directive inside the VirtualHost 
block in rt.conf, but it could be a missing Include directive in the 
main httpd.conf, incomplete DNS setup, or probably other things I 
haven't thought of.
