Did Apache work before you installed midgard? On one hand it sounds like
there might be a problem with apache being able to get permission to read
whatever the doc root is set to...or an auth. problem in the http.conf....
I don't want to assume you do or don't know this but... naming your server
banning.com needs to be supported by a DNS server up stream....example...I
am at sewanee.edu my laptop name is poolaris, unless I tell my sysadmin to
set it up nobody else knows that...when I tell her that then I am
poolaris.sewanee.edu to the whole world, if somebody else owns banning.com
then you can't be that server, if you are a machine on pacific-pages.com's
network (as your e-mail indicates you are) then you can set up a machine
name to be a named part of that network....I don't know the details your
network situation and topology so I could be vastly over simplifying ( and
spelling poorly to boot)...if you have a working static IP# then your best
bet is to go to 123.456.44.55:80 (you would put your IP number there, then
the port # of the midgard site you want) in the browser location, for
subsequent virtual hosts the sysadmin will need to assign you another
machine name and IP #, then you have to talk unix, apache and midgard into
being that machine as well ( pretty easy once you get that far)....the
other option is to go to the localhost loopback...though the way to do that
has completely left my head, if it returns in the next few minutes I will
send it along......
does any of that help...

Great! now we are getting somewhere - except when I do that I get:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/1.3.12 Server at banning.com Port 80
now my server name is banning.com, which is confusing because it is
unrelated to any
http://www.banning.com on the web - it is simple my machine name.
should I have banning.com entered in midgard.host ?
now midgard host contains;
mysql> select * from host;
