a couple questions about virtual hosts in Apache

[Scott]

Hi Tim,
Thanks for coming to the rescue grin!
Well they say to put a wild card in the example that they give in the Apache 
book but that is no problem to change.  I also do have a NameVirtualHost. 
here is what it looks like.


NameVirtualHost *:80


What I am hoping to see here is the index.php file from my Content 
Management System and I am not seeing that at all.  I think once I get one 
NameVirtualHost and VirtualHost down then I will be able to do others.  Just 
wondering I want to also make virtual hosts for bugzilla, svn, and mailman. 
Do I just use the knowledge that I gathered from this to make them virtually 
too?  Also does a NameVirtualHost block need to be specified any time I use 
a different port?  For example, I might want Bugzilla on port 8080?

Scott
