An Apache Question

I'm not really sure if this is a question to ask in this Group or not, but I'm hoping to be surprised here. I've noticed that a lot of the guys in our group are quite knowledgeable so I thought I'd give it a try.

We currently have a Linux set-up as our new web server once the new website launches in the next few months. In the root www folder (/root/srv/www/htdocs) I have multiple folders in there:

• claroline: online classroom software
• drupal_root: this will be the main drupal install that will have the main website and any other mini site stuff in the near future
• drupal_root_backups: contain backups of the drupal_root folder
• drupal_v1: this was a test drupal install that I did a while back to start testing out modules and run a survey to some employees
• etc, etc, etc

Currently in order to get to the drupal_root folder I need to type in "newwebserver.domain.edu/drupal_root." What I would like it to do is to forward anyone that attempts to connect directly to the server to that drupal_root folder. That part is easy though, I also would like someone to be able to type in a classroom.domain.edu (which is set on the DNS server to forward to that same IP address) to forward to the "claroline" directory in the "/htdocs" folder.

I did some messing around today with Virtual Hosts in the httpd.conf file to see if I could get something working and was unsuccessful. I could get it to forward correctly but the main page would work but any secondary pages would give an error. Here is the config file that I was messing around with. I commented everything out just to get the server back to working order for the time being until I figured something out.

Thanks in advance for your guys' help. I wish I could learn more about this kind of stuff. :)
