Hi there, I intalled Apache 2.1.4 recently using ports on a computer with OS of FreeBSD Release 5.4. The software compiled fine, and installed without error. I could access my root web page if I don't run name-based virtual hosts. As soon as I include virtual hosts part in httpd.conf. I got the following errors. I checked all directory/file permission. They are all set as read, write and executable now. I checked DirectoryIndex, etc. They seems all covered for index.html, index.htm, etc. I am not running any secure http servers, and could not find any file for ".htaccress" using find command. No matter what I do I got the same error message. Can anyone help to provide a hint on solving the problem? Thanks a lot in advance.
