hi stephen yes its works fine with /www directory..but i want to make /home directory as my DocumentRoot directory.... And i have tried by putting <Directrory> directives inside <VirtualHost> directives then also its giving error..i think its problem of permission but i have set it 755 for all /home/xxx as well as /home/xxx/public_html.. should i have to set any perticular group or user to access my /home directory..? Then also thank you for your all pointers..

First, put your <directory> directives inside your <VirtualHost></VirtualHost> directives. Also, if you want it to show directory indexes, you'll need to tell it to allow them. Here's a sample of a virtual host directory on my server: <VirtualHost <a href="http://168.215.142.154:80" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">168.215.142.154:80</a>> ServerAdmin <a href="mailto:me@myhost.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">me@myhost.com</a> DocumentRoot /www/gigapants <Directory /www/gigapants> Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Indexes AllowOverride All </Directory> ServerName <a href="http://www.gigapants.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> www.gigapants.com</a> ServerAlias <a href="http://gigapants.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">gigapants.com</a> CustomLog /var/log/httpd/gigapants-referer_log referer ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/gigapants-error_log TransferLog /var/log/httpd/gigapants-access_log </VirtualHost> <div></div><div>On 9/2/06, Nirav Modiya <<a href="mailto:nirav.linux@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> nirav.linux@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"></blockquote></div><div> <div>Hi friends, <div> I have configured apache server for our intranet and I want to make two sites running on it...
