I don't know, but why are you building 2.0.50? If that is a CentOS
restriction, you should content CentOS to figure out what is going
wrong.

Why such an old version?

That path indicates that configure was run on one of the developers'
own machine.  Yours is no doubt different.  Whatever you have,
you're in the wrong time (2008) and place (anywhere other than
minfrin's workstation) to build it.

Where the **** did you get that from?

Hi,

I am new to the web server .... please help me with
this 2 questions.


1/  Setup the basic web server myhost.mydomain.com
2/ Setup the virtual host www.mydomain.com


My linux system hostname is:  myhost.mydomain.com
IP: 1.2.3.4
DNS:  www.mydomain.com  CNAME  myhost.mydomain.com


Please explain this:
If I use default DocumentRoot /var/www/html for
question #1, and use
VirtualHost with DocumentRoot /var/www/virtual for #2,
I no longer see the index.html file from
DocumentRoot of #1


Question #1 does not asked to use the Virtual host.
Can I just use the default DocumentRoot to config the
web server OR
have to use the Virtual host ?


Thanks
Tam

I think you need to read this:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html#using
which tells you that you need a <VirtualHost> section for every host
once you start to use NameVirtualHost. The DocumentRoot in the "main
server" no longer has an effect.
