Okay, here's a stripped version of my Apache conf on my development box
(Apache 1.3---should be similar for Apache 2.x).
ServerRoot "/usr/services/httpd"
BindAddress 10.0.0.3
Port 80
User www
Group www
DocumentRoot "/usr/services/httpd/sites/linus.groomlake.area51/htdocs"
Top level directory I use is "/usr/services/httpd" and my default document
root is "/usr/services/httpd/sites/linus.groomlake.area51/htdocs" [1].
Apache binds to port 80 on address 10.0.0.3 and runs as the "www" user.
<Directory "/usr/services/httpd/sites/linus.groomlake.area51/htdocs">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
I'm pretty liberal when it comes to the development machine.
NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.3:80
Okay, I'm also hosting other sites on the same IP address.
<VirtualHost 10.0.0.3>

Two of the virtual domains. Both are under /usr/services/httpd/sites/<domain>.
You can see that for one, I was playing around with the various
authenticiation modules. The other virtual host is quite simple.
<VirtualHost 10.0.0.3>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ServerName mirror.groomlake.area51
DocumentRoot /home/spc/homesite/build

But the virtual host doesn't have to be under the ServerRoot directory.
Here I have a mirror of my main site where most of it is stored under
"/home/spc/homesite/build", with another section of it under
"/home/spc/homepage/build".
-spc (Hopefully this will clear up some of the confusion about virtual
hosts)
[1] Yes, the server name is "linus.groomlake.area51". I was playing
around with DNS several years ago and configured a TLD for my own
internal use.
