OK, on for another class and trying to set up virtual web server.  I 
have gone through multiple google sites including the apache site.  
There are multiple types of virtual hosting, those being by domain name, 
subdomain, and multiple IP addresses.  At the moment working on the 
multiple domain name.  I am running on fedora 11.  All three domains in 
this test example have been set up in the /etc/hosts table to the same 
IP address.  The first one going to test.org works.

I set up the httpd.conf file to read:
<VirtualHost *:80>                        #Tried *=>test.org
    ServerAdmin root at test.org
    DocumentRoog /var/www/html
    ServerName svr.test.org
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>                           #Tried *=>test1.org
    ServerAdmin root at test.org         #Am I wrong?  This is the base server.
    DocumentRoot /var/www/test1
</VirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>                           #Tried *=>test2.org
   ServarAdmin root at test.org         #Again
   DocumentRoot /var/www/test2
</VirtualHost *:80>

I attempted to change the * in each VH to the domain name, but it still 
did not work.

Originally had ServerName set to the computername, but took it out, no 
difference.
Originally had ErrorLog set to /var/log/httpd/error_log, but took it 
out, no difference.
Originally had CustomLog set to /var/log/httpd/access_log, but got error 
saying I needed two variables, took out and it caused no problems (at 
this time).

Would appreciate assistance in figuring this out so I can document and 
show the class how to make it work.
