Sorry about that -- I have not been able to figure out how the GUI actually
interfaces with the config files. In other words, what does it see and what
will break it.

In Apache, here's all you "should" need:

# point www.somesite.com to subdirectory somesite
<VirtualHost www.somesite.com somesite.com>
ServerName www.somesite.com
ServerAdmin admin@xxxxxxxxxxxx
DocumentRoot /home/sites/home/users/somesite
</VirtualHost>

This is the standard way in Apache. You can also add other things like:
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .pl
Alias /icons/ /where ever these are/

Again, I have no idea what the GUI will do with this.
