Thanks for the reply. What we are trying to do is to create a new vhost without disrupting the default settings.
So that http://localhost/whatever/... Follow the default setup while http://localhost/testsite/... Will refer to /var/www/company/yyy/public I did look into the suggested link but most examples on multiple vhosts rely on either different port, different ip address, or different name but in our case they are all the same. It is just a path that we want to take over. I realize the default DocumentRoot /var/www takes over all requests, and I am just wonder if there is a way override it just for a particular path "testsite". Or do we always need to edit the default config? Editing the default config is fine for a particular server but we are working on a web application, to be deployed on different machines. Would be nice if we could just add our own vhost configuration without messing with the default.

Pages will always be served by this VirtualHost, because it will be the default one. As for fixed IP address, I don't really understand what you mean. For that, it seems that your configuration above is fine. This Apache will respond to any request that reaches it on port 80, no matter through which one of its (possible) IP addresses. I believe you might benefit from reading through http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/ and try to get a basic understanding of this stuff first. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
