HELP. virtualHosts in Apache2 on XP

I installed Apache2 on my XP machine and the localhost is working, but
I'm not able to get the virtualHost to work.

Much appreciated
Thanks

my settings.

Hosts file.

Localhost 127.0.0.1
Daleeluck.com 127.0.0.1

httpd file

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.daleeluck.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@daleeluck.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot"

Order allow,deny
Allow from all

yes i'm using "NameVirtualHost *"

with the settings above it would serve the web page from

C:/Inetpub/wwwroot the root directory of www.daleeluck.com
not from
E:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs the root directory of
local host "winxp"
to get the local host to serve the web page from
E:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs i would have to comment
out Documentroot c:/inetpub/wwwwroot.

Personally I like using the mod_vhost_alias best for virtual hosting, then:

UseCanonicalName Off
#ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/" <--
comment this out if you want each vhost to run it's own cgi-bin directory.

Then:

# this log format can be split per-virtual-host based on the first field
LogFormat "%V %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\""
vcommon
#CustomLog logs/access_log vcommon
CustomLog E:/apache-root/logs/access_log vcommon

# include the server name in the filenames used to satisfy requests
VirtualDocumentRoot E:/apache-root/vhosts/%0
VirtualScriptAlias E:/apache-root/vhosts/%0/cgi-bin

Now from now on every time you want a new virtual host you simply drop a
folder of the same host name in the E:/apache-root/vhosts folder (or
whatever path you have). You don't even have to restart apache when you add
them!

I also add this too:

<Directory E:/apache-root/vhosts>
Options Indexes ExecCGI
AllowOverride Authconfig # lets .htaccess files work
for authenitcation
ScriptInterpreterSource registry # tells apache how to handle
..pl files
</Directory>
