Edwin,
Please stay in the same thread. It helps us keep up with what is going
on...and is courtesy on mailing lists.
Did you update the virtual-hosts.conf file, Edwin? I am just asking. The
error you received has nothing to do with that. What you pasted indicates
one error thus far. I am just getting one step ahead, because I would like
to know (because this will be the next error your receive). Again, I
referenced links for you. Did you read them?
I am referencing another below for Windows users that will help you on the
virtual-hosts.conf file and once again on this problem. This was a simple
syntax problem.
Moving along:
The DocumentRoot needs to be enclosed in quotation marks. Example:
DocumentRoot "C:/users/edwin j mcleod/documents/Apache Software
Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
Please double check that the document root is completely correct (I.E. it is
COMPLETELY correct).
I highly recommend adding these two lines:
CustomLog logs/example.com.com.access.log combined
ErrorLog logs/example.com.error.log
To log errors to help us troubleshoot if you continue to get errors (also
this is just good, common practice most of the time if you have the space
and it is not a massive, massive site). Plus, this is a combined log file.
You can comment these lines out later on.
Restart the server (hard or soft) after you fix your syntax.
Again, a reference page:

Read and be enlightened.
Sincerely,
Craig Huffstetler

There's th eproblem:
'Documentroot takes one argument, Root directory of the document tree'
Try quotes around that:
DocumentRoot "C:/users/edwin j mcleod/documents/Apache Software"
Neither windows nor unix/linux likes a space in a file name.
Good luck
