Jason;
Thanks for your response,as base information I do not have a clear concept
of how,apache2 is put together,"A Definiitive Guide Apache2"O'Reilly
addresses apache 1.3
I have not found clarity elseware.
So,I have been trying to deduce its structure through a few hints. i.e.
looking at the default settings of  /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.
their the document root is /var/www/html.
I have then, by way of the example, made the document root ,each 
respectively,on my vhosts
/var/www/examples.com
/var/www/example.com
both,each with seperate files: text, text.html, index.html (which I remove
and replace experimentally)
In "links" entering,the first vhost" http://somec_ap.com" brings up a screen
identifying it as server somec_ap.com
If I reenter links with http://somecr_ap.com/text it brings up the text from 
/var/www/html/text(default site)rather than from 
/var/www/examples.com/text.
If I reenter links with site2 http://example2.com/text  it brings up text 
from
/var/www/html/text (default site) rather than from /var/www/example.com/text
in other words each vhost is reading from the default document root file 
rather than its own file.



Additional misc.background information.
NameVirtualHosts *
<VirtualHost *> alternately <VirtualHost * : 80 >.
5/19/05 -JMD adds comment 'NameVirtualHost * : 80' to 
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

apache2 -S [warn] NameVirtualHost * : 80 has no Virtual Hosts ......[* : 80] 
no VirtualHosts
few other warning as I juggle.
Syntax OK

Hope you can make something of this,otherwise, if you have a cd I can 
lookover with an Apache2 installation especially one with Mailman and 
Postfix attached that would be most helpful. I do appreciate you. AnthonyK
