Okay, then I misunderstood. Mine runs as user apache with no problems. I think there is a configuration problem somewhere. I'm not running Apache 2 yet, so I can only tell you from my experience on 1.3x. I do know that you have to load your default server as a vhost as well or you won't be able to server vhosts. And something tells me I got forbidden errors until I did, but I may be mistaken. <<JAV>> ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Craig Daters <craig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wed, 29 Oct 2003 09:15:23 -0700 Subject: Re: Apache Virtual Host > No, All I am getting are the 500 Forbidden errors.
