Re: Apache question/problem

Scott,
     you need to go to the directory that contains your web server's 
configuration files.  Mine is /etc/httpd/conf.  In the conf directory, open 
the "http.conf" to edit some information:
  - Spectify the "NameVirutalHost" directive to be the IP address
    of  your machine as follows, of course the IP I entered is
    imaginary:

NameVirtualHost 124.201.211.11

  - Then specify your virual domains as follows:


<VirtualHost www.company1.com>
ServerAdmin webmaster@company1.com
DocumentRoot /www/company1/public_html
ServerName www.company1.com
ServerAlias *.company1.com www.company1.com
ErrorLog logs/company1.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/company1.com-access_log
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost www.company2.com>
ServerAdmin webmaster@company2.com
DocumentRoot /www/company2/public_html
ServerName www.company2.com
ServerAlias *.company2.com www.company2.com
ErrorLog logs/company2.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/company2.com-access_log
</VirtualHost>

After you've edited the http.conf file, restart the apache server to let 
re-read the configuration file.  You do that by typing
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid`
You may need to type in something other than /var/run/httpd.pid
this will depend on where your system store the process id for apache.


Of course, you could add more configuration lines as you desire to every 
virtual host.  Refer to the Apache documentation of this issue.  Go to 
www.apache.org and link to the Apache project, then to the server 
documentation.  You will need to search under virtual domains topic.  It is 
pretty comprehensive.. I got most of my info there...  Let me know how that 
goes..
