Hi there, I'm trying to set up 2 virtual hosts by name and apache won't start up.
I am using a Debian server.
My zone and apache.conf files look perfect according to my books and I can ping my virtual domains. Below are some excerts from important files.
Please help...

httpd.conf

### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them.
# Please see the documentation at <URL:

http://www.apache.org/docs/vhosts/>

# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# If you want to use name-based virtual hosts you need to define at
# least one IP address (and port number) for them.
#
#NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.2

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
#

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.2>
DocumentRoot &quot;/var/

#<VirtualHost 192.168.0.2>
# DocumentRoot &quot;/var/

If you only have 1 NIC in that machine, try:

NameVirtualHost *

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
#

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/

http://www/5DD/del

;quotes removed
ServerName

http://www.del.com

</VirtualHost>

# hash's removed from this vhost
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/

http://www/5DD/vsa

;quotes removed
ServerName

http://www.vsa.com

</VirtualHost>

For the record the answer was simply to add

http://www to

the hosts file.
