The bug database is for bug reports, not for basic configuration
assistance. We do not have the resources to individually tell everyone how
to perform basic configuration of their server.
As the bug reporting page says:
If you're not sure that your problem is specifically related to a
bug in Apache (i.e., not something like a client problem or
configuration problem), we strongly recommend that you check in the
comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix or
comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows (depending on the platform
being used) Usenet newsgroup first. If you don't receive a response
within a few days, then please submit it to the Apache bug
database. If it's a known issue, you'll probably get a faster
response from the newsgroup and you will help keep developer time
free for improving Apache. Most bug reports submitted are actually
user configuration problems that could be easily fixed by asking in
the newsgroup.
If you do not have access to a Usenet server, there are several web
sites on the Internet that allow you to read and post to Usenet,
such as Deja News.
Please follow that advice. It is there for a reason.
