[thelist] Apache: Name base VirtualHost Hel[L]p?

[Olwen Williams]

I assume you meant hosts file, not conf file for the first part, unless 
it's different on Win2K than on 98

In httpd.conf
Try:
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
        ServerName test.domain_A.com
        DocumentRoot D:\domain_A.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
       .....
</VirtualHost>
etc.
This is what I and I'm not getting that error.
