OK - - - I think I understand this (my following question(s) may prove otherwise!). Both applications are not expecting to live on / but to me the installation instructions for each are incompatible. So - - - - step by step to make sure I'm not fubaring things too many more times (I'm at 5 times installing the lamp stack trying to get things working). Of course if I knew what I was doing that wouldn't likely be necessary but one trades time for experience (at least in my case). As my other question, email subject: question re: where to place, shades into this one so I'm going to combine the somewhat different requests into one - - this one (hopefully allowed and should be traceable). So I don't really need to use 'virtual hosts'. What I am actually needing to do is to use different ports to the same 'stack' rather than creating different 'stacks'. By this I mean that I don't need to use different server configurations for each application rather than I need to 'just' assign different ports to the different applications and this should work. Where my problem lies is in the request that application a expects to be called from: DocumentRoot /var/www/applicationa/web and the second wants to be called from: DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com . I don't understand how to setup both in the way asked for by the script I'm following for each as I don't understand how to modify, what to modify or even where to modify something to allow both applications to co-exist. Have tried reading the documentation and it can usually follow what is being said by the examples only show exactly what is being referred to without ever showing any context. So I don't understand where that specific whatever belongs and how it relates to the whole. Understand that you are likely not responsible for the docs but even though they are clear and concise without an example which places the specific into its larger setting - - - -well I don't know what to do with the specific and then I mus needs ask here. Perhaps an example configuration could be referred to in the docs so that one could see these details.
