Hi Rolf, thank you.

With VirtualHost in httpd.conf I have one: 
<VirtualHost  *:80>
directives
Servername site1
directives
</VirtualHost>

If I set up another VirtualHost for site2, apache complains about 2 port
80's and gives priority to the first.
This has me perplexed. Can I not have a number of <VirtualHost> setups on
the same port if they are accessed at different times?

yes I restarted httpd after every test change.

Yes I have this.

Nope, It did not work and that's got me puzzled.
I can access the test Drupal 7 site with http://localhost/first.com but not
just http://first.com because there is a web site with that name which takes
precedence.

http://site1 is a folder in drupal7/sites, and is a copy of /default with
the database name and password changed, I get my test index.html in
/var/www/html but nothing from drupal.

http://localhost/site1 produces a Not Found error message.

I've deleted the error and access logs so will retry this evening and see of
any helpful new messages appear.
Roger
