This is a big no go! Be sure you have a line in /etc/hosts looking as:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
You should have one line per IP address and can add as many host names as wanted on that line.
To test if yours sees it properly, a simple ping <hostname> should tell you the IP address used and if it responds to the ping then that part is working.

Does the main server work? If it does the vhost configuration and whereMy mistake there... /home/rpaiz was not executable, and when checking permissions I forgot that one. Rather than opening up the directory even a little, moved the vhost to the /var/www/ subdirectory. So now I have:
you defined it would helpful for detecting the error. Is /home/rpaiz set
to chmod 711?
* Default vhost: "localhost" at /var/www/html/
* Other vhost: "simpaticus" at /var/www/www.simpaticus.com/
Why is the main server configured as vhost as well? Or is it just a faulty description by you? See my other reply with direction to "apachectl -S".
Still no joy. Really contemplating starting from scratch, getting it to work with a hand-written httpd.conf and then retrying. Also, not sure that name recognition is working properly... perhaps when I type "simpaticus" into the URL field in Mozilla it's not telling Apache the right thing?
A "ping localhost" as well as "ping simpaticus" must work as it will both try to resolve the name.
Does Apache response to http://localhost? Better than using a browser might be to detect Apache working using telnet:
telnet localhost 80 GET / HTTP/1.0 <enter 2 times>
same command with: telnet simpaticus 80
And: check the relevant logfiles! Configuring Apache and not having a view to /var/log/httpd/ and /home/rpaiz/www.simpaticus.com/logs/ is bad.
