Trouble with vhosts.conf

Hi,

I have vhosts turned on in httpd.conf

# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

In httpd-vhosts.com, I have following entries.

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin nospam@yahoo.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Programs/apache/httpserver/htdocs"
ServerName something.dnsalias.com
ServerAlias something.dnsalias.com
ErrorLog logs/something.dnsalias.-error_log
CustomLog logs/something.dnsalias.com.-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin nospam@gmail.com
DocumentRoot C:/Programs/apache/httpserver/htdocs/someotherdir
ServerName www.someotherdir.org
ErrorLog C:/Programs/apache/httpserver/htdocs/someotherdir/logs/
jivanrashmi.org-error_log
CustomLog C:/Programs/apache/httpserver/htdocs/someotherdir/logs/
jivanrashmi.org-access_log common

<Directory c:/Programs/apache/httpserver/htdocs/someotherdir/>
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

As soon as I turn on the vhosts, the server doesn't start. What am I
doing wrong?

Thanks,
Gaurav

CD to your serverroot, then execute bin\httpd.exe or
bin\apache.exe (name depends on distribution and version)
with the -t parameter to verify httpd.conf.
httpd.exe -h shows all commandline options, there are a
few more the do some verification.

If httpd.conf is Ok, look in your logs/errorlog for any
startup messages.

Kees,

Thanks for the suggestion. I was able to figure out why the server was
not starting. The error and access logs for the vhosts was in a non-
existent directory. Creating that directory fixed that problem.
