How to do Virtual www:
  1. Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
    2. Duplicate the following section (which is already in the httpd.conf file): 
    #NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80
#NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
#
#<VirtualHost ip.address.of.host.some_domain.com>
#    ServerAdmin webmaster@host.some_domain.com
#    DocumentRoot /www/docs/host.some_domain.com
#    ServerName host.some_domain.com
#    ErrorLog logs/host.some_domain.com-error_log
#    CustomLog logs/host.some_domain.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>
    Modify the above section so that it looks something like: 
    NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.103

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.103>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@mybox.mydomain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/mybox.mydomain.com
    ServerName mybox.mydomain.com
    ErrorLog logs/mybox.mydomain.com-error_log
    CustomLog logs/mybox.mydomain.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

FIXME: Double check that the above values are correct
  2. If you will be using a virtual ip, then here's how to do it
    3. ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.103
route add 192.168.0.103
  3. Make sure you have the new directory created as you have shown for DocumentRoot in the above configuration section.
  4. Restart apache
    5. /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
  5. Be sure to press the "reload" button in your browser if you have already tried to access the page before you finished setting it up.
