1. to test a web server which is hosting the virtual host, using only telnet, what would you type at the telnet prompt?

2. what fields would you expect to have to define in a Virtual-Host definition in apache?

3. Apache runs as a user, usually "Apache" or "httpd". For apache to serve a file from a user's public_html directory, what permissions would be required?

1.You can use telnet domainname 80
2.NameVirtualHost *:80 plus something like the following
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName xxxx
DocumentRoot xxxx
<Directory "xxxx">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
3.read permissions

yzhong is correct, but if you are using PHP, you might need execute permissions, too...if I'm not mistaken.
