Apache vhosts?

[Mordecai]

I've no clue how to set these up, and most of the docs all use it to set up either a base domain, or subdomains... neither of which seem to work. (All end with 404s)

I own a site (we'll call it mordecaisfunhouse.com), and I'm using this in httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost mordecaisfunhouse.com>
ServerAdmin [e-mail]
DocumentRoot /htdocs/mfh/
ServerName mordecaisfunhouse.com
ErrorLog logs/mordecaisfunhouse.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/mordecaisfunhouse.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

It doesn't work even if I use <VirtualHost *>.

Any pointers? I'm on Apache 1.3.28 on Windows XP.

Okay, a little better. My IP now points to the domain's folder, but the domain also points to it. Now I want my IP to point to the default folder.

If it's Apache 1.x is anything like 2 try:

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>

ServerName mordecaisfunhouse.com

ServerAdmin [email][e-mail][/email]

DocumentRoot "/htdocs/mfh/"
<Directory "/htdocs/mfh/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog logs/mordecaisfunhouse.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/mordecaisfunhouse.com-access_log common

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>

ServerName sub.mordecaisfunhouse.com

ServerAdmin [email][e-mail][/email]

DocumentRoot "/htdocs/submfh/"
<Directory "/htdocs/submfh/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog logs/sub.mordecaisfunhouse.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/sub.mordecaisfunhouse.com-access_log common

</VirtualHost>

Note that the top vhost will be the default for the server. Ex: someone hits xyz.mordecaisfunhouse.com and it's not a valid vhost they will get the top vhost (assuming that your A record is a wildcard, *.mordecaisfunhouse.com). This also takes effect for IP's, if you use an IP to access the server it will get the default/top vhost. Same goes for localhost, etc... Also, you should use the directory tag so specify the permissions with every DocumentRoot, Alias ,or ScriptAlias, etc...

I'll try it tomorrow. Currently, I just have it redirect, but it's going to my server. The other site is one I run for my school, so I don't want to leave it as my site for long. (I doubt anyone'll notice it's redirecting, anyway.)

I'll give you heads up as to what worked and what didn't tomorrow.
