Hi Sander, Thanks for your help and your explanations. >> When I try and start Apache it fails and refuses to start with >> nothing in the log files. ST> Look in the Applications section in the Windows Event Viewer. That is ST> where Apache logs before it opens its own log files. There is nothing at all in the Application section of the Windows Event Viewer related to Apache. >> >> [Wed Mar 21 13:09:54 2007] [crit] (22)Invalid argument: unable to >> replace stderr with error_log ST> What is your ServerRoot? Does the logs directory exist under that ST> ServerRoot? The Server Roor (in httpd.conf) is ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/xampp/apache" That does contain a logs folder and contains the standard error and access logs. There is no sign of the logs created by the virtual host. If I uncomment the logs in the Virtual Host then Apache will not start. >> I do not understand the no VirtualHosts message in the error log.

I have changed the header as you suggest and when I restart Apache I no longer see the message about no virtual hosts. >> I also do not understand the client denied message.

I would serve index.html, were there one. OK. That makes sense. I currently have the httpd-vhosts.conf as follows NameVirtualHost 203.113.254.14:80 <VirtualHost 203.113.254.14:80> ServerName 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> I can restart Apache like this and I get no errors or warnings other than [Wed Mar 21 14:13:09 2007] [crit] (22)Invalid argument: unable to replace stderr with error_log [Wed Mar 21 14:13:09 2007] [crit] (2)No such file or directory: unable to replace stderr with /dev/null [Wed Mar 21 14:13:13 2007] [crit] (22)Invalid argument: unable to replace stderr with error_log [Wed Mar 21 14:13:13 2007] [crit] (2)No such file or directory: unable to replace stderr with /dev/null If I try to access either darth.book.resmaster.com or print.book.resmaster.com I get the 403 error Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected. If I comment out the Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf directive and restart Apache I can see the darth.resmaster.com site no problems.
