[Techtalk] Hosting multiple websites from one user on Apache

[Amber]

Thanks to all that made suggestions...I was doing it right...I just found
this out...but my lovely webhost decided to try to "help" and kept changing
the document root to something else...hence the site never coming up...argh
:)
I _thought_ I had the darn thing configged corectly!
Thanks especially to Leslie, who was all over this! :)
