Hi, am using Fedora Core 4, and I want to set up a virtual server for
playing with 2 domains that I have.

So far, I got apache running but not sure how to modify the site
http://localhost, I =B4ve put a folder in /var/www/html but no see
changes.

What am doing wrong or where should I start to get in the virtual
server as public_html.

Thanks in advance

Basically, you have to tell Apache to do virtual hosting in the
httpd.conf file.  This specifies where each domain's files are held.

You also may have to "fake" the servers in your /etc/hosts file in
order to have your system know that they are located on localhost.

Note that some distributions may break the httpd.conf into multiple
different files for ease of handling

I use CentOS, which is a free "clone" of RHEL.

Anyway, there is a long discussion, including examples, here
