Ok, now that I got on this list, I really need to be pointed int the right direction with the config of this server.  I might be a little slow, and I have never used any type of webserver before.  

Specifically, what is the purpose of the vhost's?  Of course I understand the they are used for setting up multiple sites on a system, but I am not sure how to implement them.  
What I am hoping I can do with the vhosts is catch all requests from a given adress (http://site_x.com) and direct it to a specific folder on the web server.  I am sure that this is possible however, I have not had luck with it. so far. 
can anyone give me tips to get started?  I am so new that I really don't even know for sure what to ask.  Hopefully someone will get a sense of what I am asking.  Anyway,  sorry for my ignorance on the subject.  Thanks for the help in advance.
