The DocumentRoot can be viewed as just the default place URLs are mapped to the filesystem. There's only 1 per virtual host. To use different virtual hosts, you need separate IP addresses, hostnames, or ports.

But of course this doesn't help if you have two application that expect to live on / --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
