Hmm. superuser can't manage the folders? They should be able to. I assume you mean by "almost works" it doesn't let you manage?

Second, once you set this up, you cannot manage the folder except from it's url ( host1.penguinpowered.com/manage should work)
These are kind of stabs in the dark. If you could show me some urls that don't work, then maybe I can do some more.
No, even worse! Here's what I do, and what happens: Add folders with the names of the subdomains. Add SiteRoots to each of these folders, with both fields blank as instructed. Create a dtml-method at the root level named "virtualhosts" using the script you provided. Add a Site Access Rule at the root level linked to the method. ... everything works fine up to here. A confirmation message appears saying "You have added a site access rule" or something like that. Then when I click on "OK", a dialog comes up saying "Authorization failed, retry?". Even the superuser doesn't work. I try quitting the browser (Netscape) and accessing the site (using any of the urls - masspirg.penguinpowered.com, singlepayermass.penguinpowered.com, others), but the exact same error occurs.

My server is in my dorm room, thus is allocated a dynamic IP address through DHCP, also a random hostname (prin-###.res.umass.edu). I get around this by registering some names with penguinpowered.com "dynamic DNS" and automatically updating them with my IP address when it changes. Before I tried this virtual hosts experiment, the system worked just fine - everyone who tested it could reach masspirg.penguinpowered.com. I'm teaching myself this server/content management stuff during this summer as I work on a groupware-like site that will eventually be moved to a dedicated server with a better connection. Thanks for all your help - I'm sure you have much more important things to do than assisting newbies like myself! --------------------- Building highways to reduce traffic is like loosening your belt to reduce obesity
