ok i started out by updating the httpd.conf file properly .... but i guess i am getting something wrong. i have been working by trial and error and i am getting frustrated ... lol i found one website that told me to change a hosts file in my server PC. the solution they offered was to add two line in this files text .... as follows
127.0.0.1 site1.local
127.0.0.1 site2.local
i did this and it seemed to help but now i am getting the 403 forbidden error for the second site that i am running, which is an improvement because i was getting my main websites files for both sites originally. i have alot of questions regaurding how i have my files set up. i get the httpd.conf set up ok to run just one website .... is there anything i need to change there to run two or do i just add the vhost commands in the appropriate spot and let it run ??? .... i know this will all seem very easy to most of you out there but this would be a great help to me ..... thnx a bunch in advance.

| That is a permission problem. Please post you vhost part of your httpd.conf (not the whole httpd.conf) |

Your directory names have backslashes in them: | Quote: | | DocumentRoot "C:\Documents and Settings\Smith PC\Desktop\Old PC\My Web Sites\My Webs\mysite20" |
Apache requires that these be forward-slash characters, even on Windows: | Quote: | | DocumentRoot "C:/Documents and Settings/Smith PC/Desktop/Old PC/My Web Sites/My Webs/mysite20" |
per: Customizing Apache for Windows.

Smythe,
You have two people who are great (tdonovan and James Blond) at doing this. So be patient as they will definitely help you get where you are trying to go.
What version of Apache are you using? What version of Windows?
What do you have as far as permissions in the CONF file with regards to each folder/directory of the Doc Roots?
For Example:
| Code: | <Directory "X:/Documents and Settings/Smith PC/My Documents/My Web Sites/mysite2">
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
Allow from all
Order allow,deny
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
|
Final Note: If you plan on using Perl, you will need to use folder names that DO NOT include spaces as Perl is VERY cranky about using folder names of that variety - INFO U |
