Virtual Hosts VS My Hair!!!!!

[tribalcog]

Please please help!! I have been through the forum, manual, etc. . . and while many seem to have similar problems none seem to solve my problem.

Background:

I am running Apache 1.3.x on RedHat 7.1. I need to run 2 domains on the one IP. The first domain that I have been running for some time is tribalcog.com. I have recently bought berenpatterson.com and want to run this as well. I want it to be name based simply to keep everything on 1 IP.

Problem:

When I try to set up the Virtal Hosts I get a 403 - I also get the following error when restating the services using Webmin (note I am configuring the httpd.conf manually) :

Failed to start apache :
Starting httpd: [60G[ [1;32mOK[0;39m ]

Summery of httpd.conf:

ServerRoot /etc/httpd/

ServerName tribalcog.com

ServerAdmin beren@tribalcog.com

Listen 80

Port 80

# Defaults for virtual hosts
ServerSignature on

HostNameLookups Off

# Virtual hosts

NameVirtualHost tribalcog.com


<VirtualHost berenpatterson.com>
ServerName

http://www.berenpatterson.com

DocumentRoot /home/beren/folio
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml
LogLevel warn
</VirtualHost>

What I have done:

I have changed the domains to IP and visa versa in virtually every permutation. While berenpatterson.com is a newly registered domain I can ping berenpatterson.com from the server so I presume that the DNS that the server is using is resolving berenpatterson.com back to 203.109.149.220.

I have now changed the httpd.conf back temporarily so I can keep the existing server live.

Any help GRATEFULLY received!

Superb! Nailed! Your help much appreciated - I owe you a beer or a bottle or Regain (I have one spare now).

Part of my problem was I had http instead of html as a directory in my doc path - some people are beyond help!

THANKS!!!!!!!
