The virtual host config is thus: <VirtualHost 62.233.101.227:80>

       ServerName staging.bioscience.co.uk

       DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/staging/htdocs

       CustomLog logs/staging.bioscience.co.uk-access_log combined
       ErrorLog logs/staging.bioscience.co.uk-error_log

</VirtualHost> Is this even correct? Thanks. -- Richard Heyes http://www.phpguru.org

Hi Richard. Maybe you would like to use my httpd.conf VH definitions as a template to setup your own VH? # virtual host definitions # needs to be the IP number of the network card interface # NOT my public IP address 81.168.74.150 NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.1 #----------------------------------------------------------------- # default virtual host #<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1> # ServerName www.karsites.net #</VirtualHost> # default virtual host - karsites <VirtualHost 10.0.0.1> # any required directives not set in this VH container # will default to the global values # set outside this or any other VH containers ServerName www.karsites.net ServerAlias karsites.net DocumentRoot /websites/live/karsites </VirtualHost> <Directory /websites/live/karsites> # DirectoryIndex /home/anyuser/newsite-ETA.php DirectoryIndex /home/anyuser/home.php Options None Order deny,allow Allow from all php_admin_flag display_errors OFF </Directory> #----------------------------------------------------------------- # virtual host www.php-debuggers.net <Directory /websites/live/php-debuggers> # DirectoryIndex /home/anyuser/newsite-ETA.php DirectoryIndex /home/anyuser/home.php Options None # Options Indexes Order deny,allow Allow from all php_admin_flag display_errors OFF </Directory> <VirtualHost 10.0.0.1> ServerName www.php-debuggers.net ServerAlias php-debuggers.net ServerAdmin webmaster@php-debuggers.net DocumentRoot /websites/live/php-debuggers </VirtualHost> #----------------------------------------------------------------- # virtual host www.raised-from-the-dead.org.uk <Directory /websites/live/raised-from-the-dead> # DirectoryIndex /home/anyuser/newsite-ETA.php DirectoryIndex /home/anyuser/home.php Options None # Options Indexes Order deny,allow Allow from all php_admin_flag display_errors OFF </Directory> <VirtualHost 10.0.0.1> ServerName www.raised-from-the-dead.org.uk ServerAlias raised-from-the-dead ServerAdmin webmaster@raised-from-the-dead.org.uk DocumentRoot /websites/live/raised-from-the-dead </VirtualHost> and my /etc/host file looks like: # Fedora 8 /etc/host file #

# hosts         This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
#               mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem.  It is mostly
#               used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
#               On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
#               "named" name server.

# Syntax: # # IP-Address Full-Qualified-Hostname Short-Hostname #

127.0.0.1       localhost

# special IPv6 addresses

10.0.0.1        raised-from-the-dead

Using the above domain name mappings allows me to access my virtual host definitions from localhost. Without these mappins my machine would try an internet DNS lookup on my own hostnames - which will not work.
