It should 'just work' although I don't think I've set one up with apache2.x. Make sure that you that you start the alternate copy with '-f /path/to/other-http.conf' on the command line. You must be sure that your alternate config does not try to bind to the same IP/port as the primary (anywhere, not just the part you are trying to modify) or only the first one you start will succeed. Also, change the logfile names so you can easily tell which one is failing and why when you have trouble. I think the last time I did this, I made a symlink from /usr/sbin/httpd to /usr/sbin/httpd-myname to make it easier to make all the obvious changes for the pid file etc. in the init script and to be able to see in a 'ps' output that both instances were running. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
