I managed to get it working by setting "Allow all" in the root directory
declaration.
This probably isn't a very good solution in general but shouldn't be a
problem
in this case since the machine is a development server on a local intranet.
But it would be nice to get to the bottom of it. Last time I went through
this
it seemed like there was some conflict between the default server and the
vhost definitions, i.e. I could get the default page to show or the vhost
sites,
but not both. I had saved my .conf files for Apache, but forgot to save the
commonhttpd.conf, which I suspect is where the critical trick was done
last time. Now I can't remember what it was. I'm pretty sure it wasn't
"Allow all" for the root path. I think it had something to do with the
ServerName
or DocumentRoot. Anyway, since Apache configuration tends to be a
do-it-once and forget it thing, its a pain to have to figure it all out
again
every time. Especially since something always seems to change in the
latest release.
