If anyone else wants to deal with this jerk, go right ahead. I am not wasting any more time with his crap.

Further the logs are EMPTY so why would I send them? Not a reasonable expectation on your part. The "Overview of new features" contains no mention of changes to the way virtusla are handled. This IS a BUG in my opinion. I asked if virtuals needed to be declared in etc/httpd.conf. So far no answer and as this is distinctly differenct behaviour from 1.2.5 at the very least we have a migration issue. > > > > > > > > Since you don't mention the little detail of _HOW_ you are trying] > > > to configure these vhosts, I'm afraid I can't comment more. > > From my previous message and the example above it should be patently clear that I have indidual httpd.conf files for my virtuals.

I do not have control of the software at your end, you do. Perhsp it's time for a review of your system. Back to the problem. the following example fails to work: /usr/local/apache/apache_1.3.2/sbin/httpd -f /usr/local/apache/apache_1.3.2/virtuals/www.pathtech.org/httpd.conf Specifally no errors, no log and no deamon. This difference is undocumented and causes failure of my virtuals. I have even read "Sections inside <VirtualHost> sections are applied after the corresponding sections outside the virtual host definition. This allows virtual hosts to override the main server configuration. (Note: this only works correctly from 1.2.2 and 1.3a2 onwards. Before those releases sections inside virtual hosts were applied before the main server). " Interesting but this note does not apply to my experience. I'll be gad to RTFM but would appreciate a pointer. -- ________________________________________________________________________________ G.
