Anybody willing to help me out with Apache?

I've just setup a new web server using Apache and I've run into some head aches. I'd like to be able to do name-based virtual hosting. I think I have it the syntax for the virtual host file all figured out, but whenever I start the Apache server, it tells me that it can't bind to the ip address and is unable to listen. So it brings up the default site, all the time. Anybody have any suggestions?

Copy your default and expand it.

 <virtualhost *:80="">DocumentRoot /some/dir/blah
   <directory>Options FollowSymLinks
		AllowOverride None</directory> 
	 <directory some="" dir="">Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
		AllowOverride None
		Order allow,deny
		allow from all</directory> 

	ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
	 <directory "="" usr="" lib="" cgi-bin"="">AllowOverride None
		Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
		Order allow,deny
		Allow from all</directory> 
   ServerAlias myothersite.com
   ServerAdmin tom@mysite.com
   ServerName www.myothersite.com
ErrorLog /var/log/myothersite.com
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/otheraccess.log "combined"
    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <directory "="" usr="" share="" doc="">Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128</directory> 
LogLevel emerg</virtualhost>

Copy the default site? I'm not sure what you're asking me to do.

Yes, just like the example above is a copy of the default.
Keep it port 80 and just change Document root, ServerAlias, ServerName, and what ever else you need changed.

Then restart Apache2 and you're golden.

I think I had problems with my install. I have it working on my ubuntu box with no problems. Thanks though
