I just went through the installation myself and faced some of the same
problems. I'll try to help, but I'm no expert.

First, I don't know how you configure Apache if you don't have root
access. I don't really understand your problems with virtual hosts and
the listen port, but that shouldn't be a problem. You should ensure you
have a working apache configuration before installing mod_caml, though.

I think it's also better to install mod_caml and make sure it works (by
checking http://your.site/caml-bin/hello.cmo ). I didn't have any
problem making mod_caml work.

I compiled and installed cocanwiki only to face the same errors you talk
about. I had to had CamlLoad directives for each library just like you
did (I don't know if it's correct, no mention of this in the Cocanwiki
docs). There was another thing to do to make it work, it seems that the
order of the configuration directives in the Apache config file are
important (there are some dependencies). *I'm not sure of this*. I found
this by trial and error, I had to make sure the Include directive for
the mod_caml configuration file was *before* the Virtualhost
declarations. Maybe that will help.

> Invalid command 'ExpiresActive'
This error message means that the mod_expires Apache module isn't
installed. You should install it of course, but you can try commenting
out all ExpiresActive and ExpiresDefault directive in cocanwiki.conf to
see if it works.

I think it's a little more complicated that it should, cocanwiki's
configuration is not very flexible...
