[ec2-beta] Virtual Hosts with Apache2

[Micah Walter]

thanks for the info. I followed the directions a little more closely  
and it seems to be working now.. I now have the "default" site running  
which you can get to by typing in the elastic IP address as the URL,  
and my second site by going to its domain name... when I restarted  
apache I did notice a warning message

NameVirtualHost myipaddress:80 has no VirtualHosts

It seems to still work just fine, but I wonder why I am getting this  
error, maybe adding the line to the apache2.conf file wasn't necessary?
