You don't mean turfing the srm.conf and access.conf do you???
I wouldn't have thought it would run without them.
(I'm happy to be corrected though ;-)

Yeah, I've found it much simpler to make Apache 1.3 ignore the 
whole "shared" and "etc" sections and just run virtualhosting as 
it was done in Apache 1.2 (ie: entries in the main httpd.conf and 
specifying the dir location/structure manually in those entries)

eg: (from bottom of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf)

<VirtualHost www.mydomain.com.au>
ServerAdmin hostmaster@mydomain.com.au
DocumentRoot /usr/local/virtualhosts/mydomain.com.au/htdocs
ServerName www.mydomain.com.au
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/virtualhosts/mydomain.com.au/cgi-bin/
ErrorLog /usr/local/virtualhosts/mydomain.com.au/logs/error_log
TransferLog /usr/local/virtualhosts/mydomain.com.au/logs/access_log
</VirtualHost>

As I said in earlier post, I have the server IP-aliasing a different IP for
each virtual host. (but I'm now curious as to whether it is required or not)
