example (this is not real configuration because is using mod_perl):

in /etc/httpd/conf.d:

koha224_katalog.conf
<VirtualHost *:80 *:8013>
   ServerAdmin root at bg.univ.szczecin.pl
   DocumentRoot /opt/koha224_katalog/opac/htdocs
   ServerName katalog.koha.bibl.univ.szczecin.pl
   ServerAlias katalog.bg.szczecin.pl
   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ /opt/koha224_katalog/opac/cgi-bin/

   SetEnv PERL5LIB "/opt/koha224_katalog/intranet/modules"
   SetEnv KOHA_CONF "/opt/koha224_katalog/koha.xml"
   Redirect permanent index.html http://katalog.bg.szczecin.pl/cgi-bin/koha/opac
-main.pl
   ErrorLog /opt/koha224_katalog/log/opac-error_log
   TransferLog /opt/koha224_katalog/log/opac-access_log
</VirtualHost>

koha224_ped.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80 *:8014>
   ServerAdmin root at bg.univ.szczecin.pl
   DocumentRoot /opt/koha224_ped/opac/htdocs
   ServerName pedagogika.koha.bibl.univ.szczecin.pl
   ServerAlias pedagogika.bg.szczecin.pl
   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ /opt/koha224_ped/opac/cgi-bin/

   SetEnv PERL5LIB "/opt/koha224_ped/intranet/modules"
   SetEnv KOHA_CONF "/opt/koha224_ped/koha.xml"
   Redirect permanent index.html http://pedagogika.bg.szczecin.pl/cgi-bin/koha/opac
-main.pl
   ErrorLog /opt/koha224_ped/log/opac-error_log
   TransferLog /opt/koha224_ped/log/opac-access_log
</VirtualHost>

in /opt/
koha224_katalog
--> intranet
----> cgi-bin -> /opt/koha224_szablon/intranet/cgi-bin     (symlink!!)
----> data
----> htdocs
----> modules -> /opt/koha224_szablon/intranet/modules    (symlink!!)
----> scripts -> /opt/koha224_szablon/intranet/scripts    (symlink!!)

--> log
--> opac
----> cgi-bin -> /opt/koha224_szablon/opac/cgi-bin  (symlink!!)
----> htdocs



koha224_ped
--> intranet
----> cgi-bin -> /opt/koha224_szablon/intranet/cgi-bin     (symlink!!)
----> data
----> htdocs
----> modules -> /opt/koha224_szablon/intranet/modules    (symlink!!)
----> scripts -> /opt/koha224_szablon/intranet/scripts    (symlink!!)

--> log
--> opac
----> cgi-bin -> /opt/koha224_szablon/opac/cgi-bin  (symlink!!)
----> htdocs



koha224_szablon (where is the real perl code):
--> intranet
----> cgi-bin
----> data
----> htdocs
----> modules
----> scripts

--> log
--> opac
----> cgi-bin
----> htdocs

all clear?
