Hi all,

To test your configuration file, run a 'apachectl configtest'. it'll test 
the syntax for you.

Since you probably do have an error in there somewhere, I'll also point out 
that httpd.conf has a format different from most other config files. (Lines 
following comment lines are counted as comment lines. see the notes in the 
file for more info.)

As a side note, the only thing I had to change was the 'document root' and 
it was good to go.

Good luck,
Clayton
