vhosts in apache

[Dr.Who]

For the life of me! I can't get the vhosts to work in apache 2.2. I have them specified in the httpd.conf file directly is that what is messing them up?

No using them in httpd.conf is fine. You probably have the virtualhost part specified wrong. Here is one I use to do a redirect, notice the *:80 in the virtualhost tag:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@domain.com
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias *
redirect permanent / https://www.domain2.com
</VirtualHost>

Make sure you are using the *:80 unless you need to specific a specific IP. Using a wildcard (the *) will help esucre it will work even if there is any NAT or firewalling you might be doing.
