I have also tried using a link
dns1# cd www
dns1# ls -l
total 14

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    18 Sep  6 14:20 virtualwebs
-> /usr2/virtualwebs/
 
with virtualhosts.conf carrying entries of:

<VirtualHost x.x.x.x>
	DocumentRoot /www/virtualwebs/vhost1.com
	ServerName vhost1.com
	AcceptPathInfo On
</VirtualHost>
and tried
<VirtualHost x.x.x.x>
	DocumentRoot /virtualwebs/vhost1.com
	ServerName vhost1.com
	AcceptPathInfo On
</VirtualHost>
when that did not work
In either case I get
Warning: DocumentRoot [/www/virtualwebs/vhost1.com] does not
exist

How can I get this right?

OK solved it - the manual I was using gave the impression
that the 
DocumentRoot was specified relative to the server root
rather than 
absolutely. Once I got over that the rest fell into place.

Thanks

FreeBSD port default configuration restricts access to
$/www. 
You must explicitly allow access to other directories.
