[ale] Document Root

[Terry Bailey]

Thanks! Works beautifully.

Another question:

www.hostA.com was the original web site.  Another web site was formed, 
www.hostB.com.  Both work OK.  However, if  the URL, hostA.com, is typed 
in, the virtual server will not respond. You have to type in 
www.hostA.com.  Moreover, if you type in hostB.com instead of  getting 
www.hostB.com it is the case that www.hostA.com will load and hostB.com is 
still showing in the address bar.  To get www.hostB.com, you must type 
www.hostB.com.

Each one has it's own virtual host section in httpd.conf.

I even tried using the IP address instead of *.

This is Apache.
