I have stopped using the http GUI to edit the httpd.conf file as it keeps mangling it with each successive change....ironically....the GUI showed the DocumentRoot entry....but it was not in the actual file...weird. Here is the revised: <VirtualHost 63.237.193.25> DocumentRoot /home/netwitts/html/ ErrorLog /home/logs/netwitts-error_log ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx ServerName www.netwitts.com TransferLog /home/logs/netwitts-access_log ErrorLog /home/logs/netwitts-error_log </VirtualHost> # Virtual host 63.237.193.50 <VirtualHost 63.237.193.50> ErrorLog /home/logs/grassroots-error_log DocumentRoot /home/grassroots/html/ ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx ServerName www.grassrootslandscaping.com TransferLog /home/logs/grassroots-access_log ErrorLog /home/logs/grassroots-error_log </VirtualHost> Yes, I did restart the httpd service and it reported success....navigating to either http://63.237.193.25 or http://63.237.193.25 shows the same Apache Test Page instead of referring to the document roots. I have some books on order on Apache on the way but I have been furious googling and going through my FC2 Books to see if I can get things functional sooner....it's driving me nuts. The listen line is showing *:80 Each time I have tried to point it to specific IP addresses and port 80 httpd won't restart and complains about the addresses...so I assume that this is internal to the config....clearly Apache is intercepting both addresses...it just won't pick up the appropriate DocRoot entry. Suggestions on where else to look....I have, by the way, scanned through Apaches how to, walkthrough and the stuff in my FC2 book...something just isn't clicking for me... In the old days...I'd fart with rc.websites and the httpd.conf and I was off and running....sigh... -Eucke
