This is exactly what I think the problem is.

The path:/var/www/example1/html
Path 2: /var/www/example2/html
20040308 I added the following in the virtual hosts section of
httpd.conf which is at the end of the file.

This is supposed to be the right way to configure for a dhcp machine.
I think I have missed an important concept somewhere.
I setup the server names in the hosts file. These are not real sites
I am setting up dummies for testing and to learn php and mysql.
corresponding manual page:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/examples.html#serverpath
The section heading:
"Running several name-based web sites on a single IP address."
excerpt from file:
________________________________________________
# Listen for virtual host requests on all IP addresses
NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /var/www/example1
ServerName www.example1.com

# Other directives here
# the following were spec'd in php.conf tried to be explicit here
# because php was not showing up
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
DirectoryIndex index.php
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /var/www/example2
ServerName www.example2.org

# Other directives here
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
DirectoryIndex index.php
</VirtualHost>
This gives me some flak on startup of httpd but still I get the
default fedora page when I point the browser to www.example1.com
and example2.org. I am actually using these names. What the hell.

Name based.

Is internal only.

Found this part.

The new error message on httpd start up. Like I said it still seems to
work and I copied this config section right off the manual page.
Gotta read some more I think.

"Starting httpd: [Tue Mar 09 10:45:02 2004] [error] VirtualHost
_default_:443 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost
address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results"
  Like I said it still seems to work and I copied this config section
right off the manual page.
Gotta read some more I think.

I've never succeeded with those * asterixes in httpd.conf

This is somewhat what I'm using at home. My server internal IP is
10.255.178.2 and in my workstation hosts file I've specified "10.255.178.2
myserver.cmx" That way DNS is not involved deperately trying to find .cmx
tld.
127.0.0.2 local address is there just to enable ssh tunneled access machine
to see some stats and stuff. Instead of using http://localhost/ I can use
http://mycron/. It is not needed in the conf.

the conf below will also respond to www.myserver.cmx. I've never been big on
limiting the address with mandatory www. subdomain, instead one is free to
use both 'myserver.cmx' and 'www.myserver.cmx'

folder '/var/www/myserver.cmx' has normal web read access. Or if php needs
to write something to HD then apache has the write access to specified
folder.

My example.

NameVirtualHost 10.255.178.2

<VirtualHost 10.255.178.2 127.0.0.2>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerName myserver.cmx
        ServerAlias *.myserver.cmx
        ServerAlias mycron #local 127.0.0.2
        DocumentRoot /var/www/myserver.cmx
        CustomLog /etc/httpd/logs/access_log combined
</VirtualHost>

I hope this helps a bit.
