Read up on the <VirtualHost> directive, in the Apache docs. What you
want to do is called "named-based virtual hosting" in the documentation.
The specifics will depend on your setup, but basically you put
NameVirtualHost *
in your config file, then you define a <VirtualHost> section for each
name, changing whatever directives you need to inside it. e.g.:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.example.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/www.example.com/htdocs
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.yoyodyne.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/www.yoyodyne.com/htdocs
</VirtualHost>
...and so on. Of course you can put the DocumentRoot for each server
wherever you want. You're not limited to ServerName and
DocumentRoot, either; you can put <Directory> sections and most other
server configuration settings inside a <VirtualHost> section.
