Hi Brian, Thanks for your response. I only have one IP address and as such in order to run ssl I can't run virtual hosts (name based - and would rather not purchase another IP address - the old certificate requirement of ssl cert verification before apache is able to resolve the name). That being said I was hoping to be able to run another instance - call it a utility instance - where I could use localhost for things such as phpmyadmin among others and thus have the two completely independent of each other. I tried to accomplish this by creating a completely separate apache tree and using a modified rc script (changing pid, lock and log) to call the 'otherInstance' version of httpd.conf. The errors I got when doing this were as listed in my previous email. I thought that this should work but as of yet have not been successful - I think I must be missing something trivial but have not been able to resolve. Am I doing thinks a little backwards here. I simply have a requirement that: 1. I can't use a name based servers, and 2. I want to keep two completely separate and independent server roots. Is this not possible?
