yup, thats right. there is a default site. so how do i redirect the server to the virtual host instead of the default site. i dont think deleting the default site is a good idea.

i think AllowOverride All i had already done. I guess this is what you are talking about: (the changes i had made are in bold)

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName site1

DocumentRoot /home/yourID/webdev/site1/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /home/yourID/webdev/site1/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

I had already done it. Still doesnt work??

i think i know the problem. its with the permalink structure. the default structure(/?p=123) works perfectly well. but others dont. the server fails to recognise these as valid ulrs. any solution?
