James,

This is all a bit confusing but I'll tell you where I am now.

I commentedthe the funny <virtual host> lines out of the httpd.conf and
found that I also have to comment out line 935
 #AddModule mod_auth_vhost.c before it could start.

I have successfully started Apache but I do not yet know if Virtual
hosting will work.

thanks again for your help and sorry for being such a klutz (if that is
the right word) ;)

regards,

Chris
