Thanks a lot for all your past help; unfortunately I still haven't managed to make the virtual hosts to work, despite trying all the suggested permutations. > It's probably because i'm such a newbie I'm missing smthing out thats > quite obvious, so in case that's the case i'm posting all the config > files i know of in case there could be a mistake in one of them.

I did give the apache instructions quite a good read and followed the instructions as far as my understranding permitted, but it still doesn't work...... please help !!
