Topic: Setting up vhosts in my conf file

[AldoTheApache]

Ok, so I work for a start up as well as do independent consulting. I had a friend set up my apache server initially for the start up. It's been running fine. Now I want to host a client's site on the same server. I tired just adding a vhost section at the bottom of the conf file, but it said that I was running two sites off the same port. I tried manipulating the stuff my buddy did for me for the first site, then putting two vhosts on the bottom, but that just didn't work. Any tips? What else should I post to get the best possible answer?

Thanks guys!

Assuming you are running 2.4.x ?

For info to setup look first at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/

I think it is 2.4.x? I am very new to Apache, clearly. I just used yum to download the most recent versions of my LAMP stack. I feel like I have tried all the tutorials and they aren't helping much. Ok, so my conf file has commented out sections 1-3. The 2nd one is for, like, a master server? and the 3rd is for virtual hosts? Right now, site A is running off things typed in the 2nd section. I think I want them both running as vhosts in the 3rd section? I want them to be name-based off the same IP, obviously.

which OS do you run? Redhat x? Fedora? Usualy you can find your version by

/usr/sbin/httpd -V

or what the path to httpd is. Maybe the name is apache or apache2

im running fedora

Below is what I got from running that line.
