How can we set up a Virtual Host?

Create a vhost.conf file:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache2/docs/thegeekstuff"
    ServerName thegeekstuff.com
    ServerAlias www.thegeekstuff.com
    ErrorLog "logs/thegeekstuff/error_log"
    CustomLog "logs/thegeekstuff/access_log" common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache2/docs/top5freeware"
    ServerName top5freeware.com
    ServerAlias www.top5freeware.com
    ErrorLog "logs/top5freeware/error_log"
    CustomLog "logs/top5freeware/access_log" common
</VirtualHost>

How can we dynamically configured mass virtual hosting?

If you are following instruction from http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/mass.html to set up name-based virtual hosts, you must use the LogFormat directives mentioned. Not sure why, but haven't got time to verify.
