+=== Reloading Apache Configuration ===
+Once the vhost has been created you will need to reload apache for the configuration to take effect\\

+=== IMPORTANT ===
+It is important to note that apache WILL server hidden content (hidden files defined by '.' eg .hidden).
+\\
+The httpd.conf or apache2.conf file comes with an entry preventing .htaccess and .htpasswd files being served:
+<sxh bash>
+# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
+# viewed by Web clients.
+#
+<Files ~ "^\.ht">
+    Order allow,deny
+    Deny from all
+    Satisfy All
+</Files>
+</sxh>
+\\
+Will will need to add an entry preventing other/all hidden files being served. Add the following content directly under the above content in the httpd.conf (apache2.conf file)
