Apache2Triad Help, Support and Development

[Quicksilver]

Okay, so I'm trying to set up subdomains on my server, and my frustration levels are nearing puppy-murdering levels.

First, I'm on Cox, who blocks port 80. Woohoo. So I have everything set to 8080 instead.
Second, I use No-IP.com's Plus package to monitor and change my DNS records.

So, I have read every tutorial I can find, tried every setting I could manage, yet I still cannot get subdomains to work.

Code: NameVirtualHost *:8080

<VirtualHost *:8080>
    ServerAdmin admin@localhost
    DocumentRoot C:/apache2triad/htdocs
    ServerName www.fienen.net
    ServerAlias fienen.net www.fienen.net
    ErrorLog logs/fienen.net-error_log
    CustomLog logs/fienen.net-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:8080>
      ServerAdmin admin@localhost
      DocumentRoot c:/apache2triad/htdocs/wordpress
      ServerName blog.fienen.net
      ServerAlias blog.fienen.net
      ErrorLog logs/blog.fienen.net-error_log
      CustomLog logs/blog.fienen.net-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:8080>
      ServerAdmin admin@localhost
      DocumentRoot c:/apache2triad/htdocs
      ServerName localhost:8080
      ErrorLog logs/localhost.com-error_log
      CustomLog logs/localhost.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
So far the number of results have been numerous. The root URI's appear to work, but blog.fienen.net never resolves. At one point, blog.fienen.net and fienen.net were resolving to my router. www.fienen.net works, but always replaces the URI with the IP address in the address bar, which is annoying as all hell. Of course just fienen.net doesn't do that and appears to be aces at the moment. At another point, everything just resolved to the Wordpress directory regardless.

At this point I can't tell which problems are Apache, and which problems might be DNS. I'm chasing my tail and nothing seems to resolve anything. I could really use some helping hands.

I'm running A2T on WinXP (yeah, I know) behind a WRT54g Linksys router.

Ok.. one thing that I had to do to get the virtual hosts to work in WinXP.. was surrounding your document roots with "" for example

Code: DocumentRoot "C:\apache2triad\htdocs"

instead of:

Code: DocumentRoot C:\apache2triad\htdocs

Try that.. and let me know if that works for you as well.

try this one:
Code:
NameVirtualHost *:8080

<VirtualHost *:8080>
    ServerAdmin admin@localhost
    DocumentRoot C:\apache2triad\htdocs
    ServerName www.fienen.net
    ServerAlias fienen.net www.fienen.net
    ErrorLog logs/fienen.net-error_log
    CustomLog logs/fienen.net-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:8080>
      ServerAdmin admin@localhost
      DocumentRoot c:\apache2triad\htdocs\wordpress
      ServerName blog.fienen.net
      ServerAlias blog.fienen.net
      ErrorLog logs/blog.fienen.net-error_log
      CustomLog logs/blog.fienen.net-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
