All you really need is a new set of data for the website(s) and some new configuration files, since you already have the server installed you can just start a new copy of it. Note that it must listen on a different port from the first server. > I've read that panther has problems with CGI and printing out to > browser, I've got the same problems, I know nothing about that. I don't see why it should be that way, most of it is done by the application (Apache), not the operating system.

Will the second server have it's own httpd.conf file? or will it > clash with the existing server? It MUST have its own configuration, but it doesn't have to be a completely separate set of files. You can for example include snippets of configuration within httpd.conf in more than one way.
