Hey Eric,

It looks like if you're going to be entering the world of virtualhosts. You're likely going to put a:

NameVirtualHost *

then a:

<VirtualHost *>
    ...
</VirtualHost>

for the *.somedomain.com.

Then you would have a:

<VirtualHost *>
   ServerName mercury.somedomain.com
    ...
</VirtualHost>

for the mercury.somedomain.com. Sorry this is so unorganized, but I hope that helps a bit. I don't have much time to replay to this atm.

-Jon

I always thought the URL was servername.domainname like this:

 http://mercury.somedomain.com
     references the SERVER NAME mercury and the domain SOMEDOMAIN.COM

 In Webmin, I see the virtual server set up to handle:
 ADDRESS: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
 SERVER NAME: somedomain.com
 PORT:  80
 DOCUMENT ROOT: /var/www

and this will refer all requests (*.somedomain.com) to the /var/www directory

How do I then specify that ONE SERVER NAME, "mercury" for example, is directed
elsewhere like this:??

  http://*.somedomain.com         ->  /var/www
  http://mercury.somedomain.com   ->  /var/www2


Is there ->somewhere<- an easy-to-understand intro to the world of apache2
configuration? I'm spinning my wheels and I need to get the web site
development started... not become an Apache expert :-P


TIA
Eric
