Yeah, I see that code block.
What permissions should the "home" directory have? Here's how it's currently set, is this ok???
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 5 Mar 5 21:28 home/
Could it be something else?
Thanks,
Shaun
Are there any errors when you create a virtual server? I'm having a hard time thinking of what could cause the symptoms you describe.
The permissions are fine.

Lots of errors here! Gonna want to get the various misconfigurations sorted first, and then we'll see if the home directory is still not being created.
Alias creation...I suspect you've got something bogus in your aliases file, but I'm just guessing. What happens if you run:
postalias /path/to/aliases
(You've got a solaris system there, it seems, and I dunno whether /etc/aliases is the postfix aliases file, or something else. You'll need to figure out where Postfix is going for aliases.)
Next up, the virtuals table is also failing. What happens if you run:
postmap hash:/opt/csw/etc/postfix/virtual
The Apache error is probably related to the home directory creation failure.
Was this installed with our solaris-install.sh script, or manually? If the former, there may be some issues we need to resolve in our install script.

Thanks for the help Joe, much appreciated.
I just started w/ my account over at Joyent, so not sure why I'm getting errors. Anway, I decided to have them re-install everything on my account and hopefully that will fix whatever is wrong.
Thanks again.
Sounds like a good idea. The Joyent guys know their stuff--I'm sure they'll get you squared away. They have their own installation tools, but I've never heard of any problems from folks using them, so I'm guessing this install was just botched somehow.
