Thanks! added ServerAlias www.thecertnetwork.net as suggested. Did not see that as an example in the httpd.conf. I'm learning!

While I don't quite understand your problem description, I can certainly tell you how to fix the error message tha tyou are getting: > [Tue Nov 15 14:39:43 2005] [warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 80, > the first has precedence > http.conf > ======= You need to add here: NameVirtualHost *:80 > <VirtualHost *:80> > ServerAdmin sterlingheights-cert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > DocumentRoot E:\ApacheGroup\Apache2\docroot > ServerName thecertnetwork.net > ErrorLog E:\ApacheGroup\Apache2\logs\error.log > CustomLog E:\ApacheGroup\Apache2\logs\access.log common > </VirtualHost> > > <VirtualHost *:80> > ServerAdmin sterlingheights-cert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > DocumentRoot E:\ApacheGroup\Apache2\docroot > ServerName www.thecertnetwork.net > ErrorLog E:\ApacheGroup\Apache2\logs\error.log > CustomLog E:\ApacheGroup\Apache2\logs\access.log common > </VirtualHost> Adding that line tells Apache that there's more than one name-based virtual host on the *:80 address. However, as it happens, in this case, since both vhosts point to exactly the same place, it makes rather more sense to combine them into one vhost, and put a ServerAlias directive in there: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin sterlingheights-cert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx DocumentRoot E:\ApacheGroup\Apache2\docroot ServerName thecertnetwork.net ServerAlias www.thecertnetwork.net ErrorLog E:\ApacheGroup\Apache2\logs\error.log CustomLog E:\ApacheGroup\Apache2\logs\access.log common </VirtualHost> -- Rich Bowen rbowen@xxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
