Weird problem with httpd.conf save

[Terry Allen <hmag@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,
	Last night, I was looking at my friend's iTools 6.5.7 machine 
(OSX 10.2.5 client) I have been helping out with & I was going to 
re-order the httpd.conf file for him so that the default virtual host 
was the initial one he set up (rather than the last one added).
	So, in the terminal, I did a cp httpd.conf httpd.conf.save25april2003
	Literally 2 minutes later, I got a phone call, asking what I 
had broken, as every virtual host called up was being served out of 
the same directory.
	Now, I went in & did apachectl configtest - which resulted in 
Syntax OK. I then loaded the httpd.conf file up in Pico - literally 
craweled through each line, paying particular attention to the 
Virtual Hosts section - everything looked fine - I went to the iTools 
admin - everything looked fine, the documentroot attribute of each 
directory looked fine as well, with each one pointing at it's correct 
directory.
	Again from the terminal, I did an apachectl configtest, which 
again showed syntax OK - I also did apachectl flushcache - did a 
reboot of the machine, but nothing helped.
	Now, the owner of the machine then tried switching a whole 
bunch of the httpd.conf files we had saves & one of them brought it 
back to normal.
	Has anyone else seen the same symptoms & if so, what was it & 
how did you fix it. I have never seen this behaviour before on any 
other machine - it happened a week or so back too, but under 
different corcumstances while setting up virtual hosts in the first 
place.

	Bye for now, Terry Allen
