I do:


<VirtualHost w3.ab2i.com>
DocumentRoot /home/htdocs/ab2icom/docs/
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/htdocs/ab2icom/cgi-bin/
TransferLog /home/webstats/logs/ab2icom/ab2icom.log
ErrorLog /home/webstats/logs/ab2icom/ab2icom.error.log
</VirtualHost>


... and it works just fine. Send me your httpd.conf file, if you want...

Cheers

Michael
