Setting VirtualHost on Centos 5.5


I need to set-up different ports to be redirected to different directories on a client's server running Centos 5.5 and Apache2.

What I need to achieve is the following.

www.mysite.com:80
Goes to the normal users directory /var/www/html/normal

but

www.mysite.com:8080
Goes to a private admin directory /var/www/html/admin

I had no problem doing this on my own Ubuntu server using <VirtualHost>, but I can't find which file to put the <VirtualHost> in on Centos?

Or is there a better way of achieving the same result?

The ports bit is the way my client wants it to work, so I have no choice there.

convention is that virtual hosts would be put in their own file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ but they can be put directly in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf if desired.

Note that you have no need at all for virtual hosts though, if they are on a different port, the hostname is irrelevant.
