Virtualhost configuration
I'm trying to set up my server so that I can have both my sites on it, pointing to different directories.
What is the virtualhost configuration I should set it to?
I tried adding some, but they didn't work.
Do I need a DNS server on here?
Thanks

You don't have to run your own DNS server. You could simply use your registrars (if they offer one) or a free service like mydomain.com
Once the domain is pointing to your server, you need to edit your Apache's configuration file and add a new virtualhost directive. You can find more information about this at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/index.html

I already have DNS
I wanted to know if I needed some sort of DNS to point my domain to my folders.
I'll try that out

I'm doing something wrong
NameVirtualHost 68.55.169.109<VirtualHost <a href="http://www.thenga.com" class="bb-url">thenga.com</a>>
ServerName <a href="http://www.thenga.com" class="bb-url">thenga.com</a>
DocumentRoot /web/html/thenga
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost <a href="http://www.e-ngl.net" class="bb-url">e-ngl.net</a>>
ServerName <a href="http://www.e-ngl.net" class="bb-url">e-ngl.net</a>
DocumentRoot /web/html/engl
</VirtualHost>
Why doesn't this work? Should I get rid of my regular DocumentRoot and use only the virtualhost?
Thanks

If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.

Assuming your IP is 68.55.169.109, you should have..
NameVirtualHost 68.55.169.109<VirtualHost 68.55.169.109>
DocumentRoot /web/html/thenga
ServerName thenga.com
ServerAlias <a href="http://www.thenga.com" class="bb-url">thenga.com</a>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 68.55.169.109>
DocumentRoot /web/html/engl
ServerName e-ngl.net
ServerName <a href="http://www.e-ngl.net" class="bb-url">e-ngl.net</a>
</VirtualHost>

Tried them both, Mark's and Zollet's... neither worked.
Could there be something else in my httpd.conf file that is messing this up? the other DocumentRoot in it?
Just an idea though

Yeah, make sure you have the BindAddress line. I just noticed a small error in what I poseted before..
ServerName e-ngl.net
ServerName e-ngl.net
..should be..
ServerName e-ngl.net
ServerAlias e-ngl.net
This is to that your domains work with and without www.

Both point to /var/www/thenga
Why is one over the other?

OK!
That worked fine for configuration... but it tells me that apachectl is an invalid command... is that a Mandrake thing?

No, I guess it's a unix thing.
It should be located ~/apache/bin/apachectl
