Hi I have installed xampp on a windows 2003 box with no problems at all. I have the security set so that there is now a .htaccess for the htdocs and I am challenged for the username and password I set up when running the security step of the xampp installation. I am now trying to set up a virtual host on this Apache installation and am having all sorts of problems. I have done this many times on linux without problems so I am more than a bit confused. In the httpd-vhosts.comf I have the following NameVirtualHost 203.113.254.14:80 <VirtualHost print.book.resmaster.com> ServerAdmin hostmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx DocumentRoot "C:/www/docs" ServerName print.book.resmaster.com DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.htm ErrorLog logs/print-error.log CustomLog logs/print-access.log </VirtualHost> <Directory "C:/www/cgi-bin"> AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AllowOverride Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Options Indexes Includes ExecCGI MultiViews Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> The IP Address in NameVirtualHost is the same as the one in the httpd.conf Listen directive and I have set this address up in the DNS Server to have the name darth.resmaster.com and also print.book.resmaster.com I have set up the directory C:\www with a docs and a cgi-bin subdirectory on the Win2003 box and I have made it readable and executable to everyone. When I try and start Apache it fails and refuses to start with nothing in the log files. If I comment out the <Directory></Directory> section and the ErrorLog and CustomLog Apache will start but the main server darth.resmaster.com is now reporting an Error 403 Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected. I see the same message if I try to browse print.book.resmaster.com the Virtual Host. In the error.log I see [Wed Mar 21 13:09:54 2007] [crit] (22)Invalid argument: unable to replace stderr with error_log [Wed Mar 21 13:09:54 2007] [crit] (2)No such file or directory: unable to replace stderr with /dev/null [Wed Mar 21 13:09:57 2007] [crit] (22)Invalid argument: unable to replace stderr with error_log [Wed Mar 21 13:09:57 2007] [crit] (2)No such file or directory: unable to replace stderr with /dev/null [Wed Mar 21 13:10:03 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost 203.223.254.14:80 has no VirtualHosts [Wed Mar 21 13:10:08 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost 203.223.254.14:80 has no VirtualHosts [Wed Mar 21 13:16:56 2007] [notice] Child 3168: Acquired the start mutex.

[Wed Mar 21 13:17:36 2007] [error] [client 203.113.254.15] client denied by server configuration: C:/www/docs/ I have no idea where the /dev/null is coming from. Am I correct in assuming that if an access or error file does not exist then it will be created, just like in a linux Apache installation? I do not understand the no VirtualHosts message in the error log. I also do not understand the client denied message. It is quite likely that I am making some basic mistake setting up the name based virtual host but for the life of me I can not see where. I would appreciate any help in getting this virtual host going.
