>1. Are you doing name based virtual hosting?  Could that be my problem?

Name Based Virtual Hosting works in the same way as IP Based Hosting.  The 
only time it makes a difference is when you are running SSL.

For my root web I have nobody/nogroup as the owner.  For the virtual webs 
it's the administrator of that web.

Yeah, that's how I've done it as well.

I've always used the fp_install.sh script to install my virtual 
hosts.  When you use the script everything works out fine.  I've had 
problems using the fpsrvadm.exe program in the past, so I just use the 
script.  The script then puts in the ScriptAlias lines into httpd.conf, 
creates all the needed directories, sets all the proper permissions, and 
installs all the binaries needed.

My best recommendation is to use the fp_install.sh script to install your 
root web and virtual hosts and you shouldn't have any problems.
