Well, there are a few things that you should know. First, Debian is a community-based or community-supported (or whatever) distro. For example, see http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=community&db=* (definition 2a, specifically). Second, no one in this forum is paid to support you. Thirdly, please feel free to find yourself another distro where the free support team will welcome your abusive tone with open arms. If you are in need of some quick turn around help, consider hiring a Debian consultant. There are plenty of such people/companies listed on the Debian website (http://www.debian.org/consultants/) and many also frequent this list (reading some of the archives will give a good idea of who they are). That said, I think your problem is twofold: 1. You do not mention that you have setup proper DNS entries or /etc/hosts entries for these domain names you are using. If you have not, no matter how hard yo utry, you will not be able to view the pages. 2. You mention creating the virtual host configuration, but you don't mention whether or not you restarted Apache. I know this is simple, but it is also easy to overlook. Now, a few recommendations: * Please provide error logs or something like that. Maybe the contents of /var/log/apache2/{access,error}.log. Not the whole thing, just the output that shows the requests and how Apache is answering them. * Consider reading the documentation available from ASF, especially the tutorial on CGI: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/en/ * Try asking your question on the debian-isp list, where there are many people in the ISP business or at least administering larger installations. Many of those people are also experienced Apache admins * Consider a new line of work. Your signature block from your earlier messages indicates that your title is "IT consultant." Judging by your company's web page, you are not a newbie to IT matters. However, you appear to be easily frustrated to the point of becoming combative when people don't jump to solve your problem. I would submit to you that you may find you lead a happier life if you choose a field without so much uncharted territory. I will leave it as an exercise to the interested reader to find a suitable career field that meets that definition. > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Apache2 Manhattan Virtual Classroom > > Good Day all Debian folks! > I am at my wits end!
