The first line should be enough, as apache listens per default
to port 80, unless you changed this in the main apache config.
If apache can't decide wich VirtualHost to use, it takes the first
one it finds in it's config, try deleting the second NameVirtualHost
line and extend logging, and tail -f on those logfiles, as you try to access
it, maybe this shows you what is wrong. Which server the client
tries to access should be in the header, for NameVirtualHost to work.
Good luck

If you do anything to change the number or order of your
partitions, linux will have a hard time booting after the
change. This is because the root and swap partition locations
are hard-coded into the kernel. If they move, the kernel can't
find them and will refuse to boot.
I've used PartitionMagic to change my linux systems many times
and I've never had to reinstall. The worst I've had to do is
boot from a boot/root floppy set and use rdev to change where the
kernel looks for root and swap.

Hi everybody I'm facing the following problem: my PC has two HDs that
work in software-RAID under linux (patched 2.2.16 kernel), on the other
partition (actually there are two other partitions because in order to
use RAID under linux I had two make two partitions for each HD) I've
installed Windows 98 but I'd like to upgrade to Windows 2000 as soon as
possible; but I'm prevented from doing this because the boot manager I'm
currently using (LOADLIN) can't work with Win2k.
LILO could be the solution but I wasn't able to install it because it
keeps complaining that the HDs have too many cyliners; this is the
'fdisk' output for the two HD (My system language is Italian I hope you
understand it anyways):

The problem:
I need to learn how to dial up and log in to my ISP shell
account using PAP pretty soon. Any step-by-step instructions
will be appreciated.
The background:
My ISP (Verio) is changing to "national" phone numbers. I
tried the one they've set up already but the shell script I've
been using with their local numbers for five years doesn't
work. Unfortunately, I got that script from somebody else and
so I never had to understand its internals. It uses long
parameter strings passed to "chat" and "pppd". The man
pages for these commands are not helpful (man pages tell
you what you _can_ do, not what you _need_ to do).

try www.linuxdoc.org, the ppp howto should let you understand the internals
if you just want somebody to do it for you try alt.os.linux.dial-up they
are more inclined in that area.

FreeBSD uses a primary partition that it then carves into smaller
virtual partitions (FreeBSD uses the term "slices"), similar to logical
partitions in the standard PC partitioning scheme. As a result, to use
any of these partitions, you need FreeBSD partition support in your
kernel, and you must then mount the partition using a partition number
of 5 or above. WARNING: If you don't currently have FreeBSD partition
support, and if the FreeBSD partition has a lower number than your
current extended partition (assuming you've got one), then adding
FreeBSD partition support will change all your extended partition
numbers. Depending upon how Linux is installed, this could render Linux
unbootable unless/until you change the entries in /etc/fstab.

Upgrade to the latest version of LILO, or use GRUB instead of LILO.
Early versions couldn't cope with booting past the 1024-cylinder mark,
but more recent versions are OK with that -- assuming your BIOS includes
extended INT13 calls, which all BIOSes made in the past two or three
years, at least, do.
If your BIOS is very old, you might consider using Partition Magic or
the like move the Linux /boot partition from after the Windows partition
to before it. If it's currently a logical partition, you'd need to
convert it to a primary partition. In any event, you'll need to edit
/etc/fstab to have it reflect the new layout.

Your 'virtual' screen size is set at the highest resolution defined for
that color depth, but the default startup resolution is the first in that
same line in your XF86Config file. Try hitting the ctrl+alt and +(on
the numpad) keys, which should cycle you thru the available screens of
that color depth. The ctrl+alt and - key should step it back the other
way.
Peronally, I got tired of it and deleted the screens I never use,
leaving at at the highest resolution. End of problem.
