one more (I'm sorry)

put something like this in your httpd.conf file (usually /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf):



# www.netophilia.com
<VirtualHost www.netophilia.com>
        ServerAdmin root@netophilia.net
        DocumentRoot /export/home/netsite/httpd/netophilia
        ServerName www.netophilia.com
        ServerAlias netophilia.com
        ErrorLog /export/home/netsite/logs/netophilia.com/errors
        CustomLog /export/home/netsite/logs/netophilia.com/access "%h %l %u %t \"%r\"  %s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""
        <Directory /export/home/netsite/httpd/netophilia/cgi-bin>
        Options +ExecCGI
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

# drk.voyager.net
<VirtualHost drk.voyager.net>
        ServerAdmin root@netophilia.net
        DocumentRoot /export/home/netsite/httpd/drk
        ServerName drk.voyager.net
        ErrorLog /export/home/netsite/logs/drk.voyager.net/errors
        CustomLog /export/home/netsite/logs/drk.voyager.net/access "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""
        <Directory /export/home/netsite/httpd/drk/cgi-bin>
        Options +ExecCGI
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>


basically, the key parts are:

<VirtualHost blah> - blah is xxx.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot - /path/to/somedir/somedir
and of course the error log in case it does not work :)

right now we do this for about 300+ sites on one box, works very well


let me know if you need more
