this I know

As I said, I freshly installed XAMPP - the only changes I've made are the ones you've listed above. . .

got it - i didn't have the serevr documents directive in the vhosts.conf.

so mysite seems to be working as it should, but localhost doesn't go to xampp welcome page - not tooo bothered about that right now....

but localhost doesn't go to xampp welcome page

Correct. This was not part of my config example. You only ask for the ip 123.123.123.29 and the name "www.mysite.com".

Is this a requirement?

No - not really, thanks. I've got it all working now, https as well.

Thanks a lot for your help; headache's gone

cheers
