Is it the htmlCD?

If yes, do this:

1. remove or comment:

#Virtual Host 2 - htmlCD

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

 DocumentRoot /var/www/htmlCD
 <Directory />
  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
 </Directory>
 <Directory /var/www/htmlCD>
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  allow from all
 </Directory>

2. add these lines to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

Alias /htmlCD /var/www/htmlCD
<Directory/var/www/htmlCD>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    AllowOverride All
    Options +Indexes
</Directory>

3. restart apache: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

4. run "apache2ctl configtest" to check for apache config errors or "apache2ctl status"

5. Good luck.

1) May i know which one i need to remove from part I: "1. remove or comment:" Is this: "NameVirtualHost *"
2) I add in line to apache2.conf what you suggest in "2. add these lines to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:"
3) I restart "apache: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart"
4) It appear error message: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default: Action-configtest failed.
5) Is that a correct way what I put ALIAS to 000-default?
5) If i have 3 ALAIS program to test. What is the best way to do for ALIAS?
Thanks Constantin R

it is from Line 49 in the output through line 65.
In fact, it is just the htmlCD alias section.

Yes, that is the correct place to put aliases in Ubuntu.
You might also want to enable the rewrite module if you use php generated links.
and also t he default site (depending on the error you get in the logs)

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2ensite default

service apache2 restart
or
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Can you help with this problem?
