Apache Guide: Setting Up Virtual Hosts Page 4

        /usr/local/apache/bin/apache -f /usr/local/apache/conf/name2_httpd.conf

This lets you start as many server daemons as your machine can stand, each

one running a different server configuration. Make sure, of course, that each

configuration file has a Port directive pointing at a different

port, or every one after the first one will fail to start, giving you an error

message like:
       Could not bind to port 80: Port already in use. 
Summary

Virtual hosts let you run multiple Web sites on the same physical server

machine. The advantages of this are numerous, and can be summed up for your

boss as "we don't have to buy another machine for the 18 other Web sites

you want to run."
