Hi no this did not work, I have this Apache error in the logs
[Thu Sep 07 00:51:50 2006] [error] [client 192.168.4.90] File does not
exist: /usr/htdocs
And on the access_log I get the 404 Error -- "GET / HTTP/1.1" 404 270
"-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6)
Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6"
but only if I access the domain.tld site
if I try anything else such as folder_A.domain.tld the apache log does
not register anything and I get a 502 Bad Gateway Error
Will play more and thanks for your advise.
Cheers
Norman
