Well, after reading the man page, it seem that my system should be 
working, but here is my info:

apache looks like it should be OK:

[root@xxxx httpd]# /usr/sbin/httpd -V
Server version: Apache/2.0.40
Server built:   Feb 25 2003 05:01:56
Server's Module Magic Number: 20020628:0
Architecture:   32-bit
Server compiled with....
  -D APACHE_MPM_DIR="server/mpm/prefork"
  -D APR_HAS_SENDFILE
  -D APR_HAS_MMAP
  -D APR_HAVE_IPV6
  -D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE
  -D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE
  -D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
  -D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD
  -D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS
  -D HTTPD_ROOT="/etc/httpd"
  -D SUEXEC_BIN="/usr/sbin/suexec"
.......

and suexec also looks OK:

[root@xxxx httpd]# /usr/sbin/suexec -V
  -D AP_DOC_ROOT="/var/www"
  -D AP_GID_MIN=500
  -D AP_HTTPD_USER="apache"
  -D AP_LOG_EXEC="/var/log/httpd/suexec.log"
  -D AP_SAFE_PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
  -D AP_UID_MIN=500
  -D AP_USERDIR_SUFFIX="public_html"
..........

But this is what I get when I try to use it:

[root@xxxx httpd]# /usr/sbin/httpd -t
Syntax error on line 1046 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
User cannot occur within <VirtualHost> section

the "User" (and Group) directives cause httpd to fail.

Thanks
