I am getting the following error when trying to access documents on a new instance of Apache2:

configuration error: couldn't check user: /


The main oddity of my setup is that I have two virtual hosts for different IP addresses:


ServerName xyz.com
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/xyz.com"
CustomLog "logs/xyz.log" combinedio



ServerName abc.com
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/abc.com"
CustomLog "logs/abc.log" combinedio


and my conf file still has the default root in it:

DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs"
<Directory "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs">
... etc


Is this causing a problem? Since I actually have 2 document roots, one for each IP address, how do I deal with that?
