Pro Apache 3rd Edition Peter Wainwright

This is an awesome book.
Better than the oreilly books and they
are usually pretty good.

notes from the book

<Limit> restricts scope of the directives.

<Directory >
Directives inside a <Directory > container apply
only to that directory and its subdirectories.
<Directory> containers can't be nested

<VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost> allows additional hosts and web sites to be
defined alongside the main server host site. Each
virtual host can have its own name, IP address, and
error and accesss logs

ok i had to wipe the gentoo box i was working on.
i had tried everything with this box. when ever
i built/ran apache in a chroot it worked great.

served pages like a charm when i tried to unmerge
emerge back apache the same problems.
during the rebuild process i disabled pam

i have stopped and restarted apache it seems
to serve up the index page
fine. another item is i disabled ssl.
I need to do more research about what ssl does
(i know what it does) but rather i need it caused
the problem before where pages just would
not be served up. personally i think it was pam.
