Thanks Steve, Dale and Trevor, Putting all this together, the Vhost containers are starting to look a little fuller than those given in the Apache examples in the documentation. I thought they looked a little sparse for what they have to do.
Steve, The domains A, B and C were just examples for clear labelling but I take your point and have checked that the real domains are all in lower case. The document root was on a different partition F: because whilst battling with all this, I was having to run on Win2K+IIS which had to access the pages. Not ideal I know, but all document folders are also copied into /htdocs ready for when I get back on Apache. So the following directives need to be in the VH containers as well as the main server? ServerSignature email DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml LogLevel warn HostNameLookups off Thanks for offering to lend me your book but I am in Auckland now and the logistics are not favourable. I have a similar one on Apache 1.3 from the library. Trevor, Would you advise keeping the "no known server name" VH container? Apache documentation seems to deem it advisable. Dale, I probably mis-understood the Apache doc which says that you need a NameVirtualHost entry for each VirtualHost. I suppose you only need the one if all VHosts are on the same IP address. I will modify my httpd.conf and post again Woodsey
