Configuring a virtual host

There are a number of ways of configuring a virtual host.

• The simplest way to create a site is to point the A record for the domain at 80.71.3.115, create a directory /home/vhosts/the.host.name/html. Files from that directory will then be served as that web site. This is the simplest way of handling sites that contain only static content or SSIs.
• For a site requiring explicit configuration (for example, for CGIs) under Apache 1 point the A record at 80.71.3.114, configure as traditionally done in /etc/apache/httpd.conf (please try to be consistent with the other sites). At the minute the files are stored in the same /home/vhosts tree as the simple configuration method discussed above.
