IP based virtual hosts problem

I'm running Apache 2.0 on Fedora Core 1, and I'm running into a problem when trying to set up virtual hosts.

After I configure Apache, and try to restart it I get

Starting httpd: (99) Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address xxx.xxx.xxx.13:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

in my network devices I setup eth0 to have ip xxx.xxx.xxx.12 and a virtual device eth0:1 to have ip xxx.xxx.xxx.13. My website on xxx.xxx.xxx.12 was working fine, but the other does not work. Am I overlooking something with the setup of eth0:1?

The reason I want to do IP based instead of name based is for SSL.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I expect you've already checked this, but is the output from /sbin/ifconfig all ok and showing the (virtual) adaptors set up all ok?

actually I hadn't checked it. It appears everything is workingfine, but I don't know how to read it... I should have mentioned that adm1329=:newbie:

Here is the output

eth0

ok... I feel really stupid now, but I figured it out. I had the wrong IP entered in for eth0:1. It works much better with the right IP :D
