opione

I have managed to finally get 2 instances of apache running on my W2K machine by defining two seperate config files with different docroots and starting them as 2 seperate services. my question is... how can I get it to reconize the seperate hosts from the address bar? I currenlty have to type in either http://localhost/ or http://localhost:8080. I want to be able to use e.g. http://work_stuff/ for localhost:80 & http://my_stuff for localhost:8080 as you have probably guessed , yes they use different ports. I have tried using virtial host configs but I cannot get them operational. any ideas ?

I am VERY new to linux I have just installed mandrake 9 as a dual boot option on my p.c I also created a fat drive to act as my document root so the files were available to either w2k and linux. I have successfully changed the doc root in the apache config for the win2k side of things but when I change the docroot for the nix server it give me a permissions error. I have full permissions for the directory/drive concerned but it will still not give me access via the nix apache server (localhost). as soon as I change the doc root back everything is fine. is there a seperate conf file I need to edit ? and if so how would i do this? just in case you are wondering.. I do most of my editing in a W2K enviroment but want to do the bulk of my testing in a linix enviroment as it idenifies a lot mor bugs..and can\'t see the point of duplicate files all over the place any help please.
