Is this set-up process correct?

I just got my server reconfigured with webmin, and as a linux/apache noob, I'm having trouble setting up my www directory. This is what I've done.

1) create new user/group called newdomain.com
2) doing 1) creates newdomain.com folder: /home/newdomain.com/
3) create a virtual server with path /var/www/newdomain.com/

I uploaded an index.html page (/var/www.newdomain.com/index.html) which displays fine, but I have a few questions re: this set up.

a) phpinfo.php shows that mysql version is 3.23.58 (old version) whereas webmin shows it as 4.1.0. The whole idea was to get 4.1.0 running! Is my browser showing a cached phpinfo screen?

b) am I missing out any obvious security hardening steps, or am I good to go?

c) do I have to set up another virtual server as /var/www/newdomain.com:443 ?
I don't understand why my hosting company's manual adds this step.

Thanks
