Apache fails when proxying with two virtual hosts same time

[trepidity]

I am trying to setup two name based virtual hosts in Apache2. Each of them proxies to my JBoss server running on the localhost:8080/appname/. There are two directories/applications each being "http://localhost:8080/appname1/" and "http://localhost:8080/appname2/" for example. Jboss runs them fine, and they both are accesible from the server using localhost. If I use a reverse proxy on each. If I only include one of the two virtualhost.conf files(there is one for each domain/app/etc) the particular one I include works perfect. Doesn't matter which one, which leads me to believe the .conf file is fine. However if I go to include both at the same time, Apache fails to start with no error message anywhere. Anyone have an idea what to do about this? thx ahead of time

OK still working on it. So far I tried abandoning the JBoss package and simplifying down to just tomcat. Didn't change a thing. I need these two domains to be hosted for the time being off of this server, both contain JSP. Unfortunately I also have other sites on this server that run in apache, so I can't host with just tomcat and solve it that way. Any notions? Obviously I can't run tomcat on port 80 or my public IP bc apache runs on that, so I am trying to proxy through tomcat at localhost:8080. All ideas greatly appreciated.
