Re: Apache virtualhost order deny, allow works only on localhost; ignores public IP for allow

[Kirk Woellert <kdwoell@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's a good point but I need to able to access this site from one public IP in particular. I thought an entry in /etc/hosts currently as:

127.0.0.1 [redacted alias for 3rd vhost]

would be sufficient but maybe not? If not, how can I get Apache to 'route' to that 3rd vhost? What would people typically do in this case? BTW, I'm not the DNS manager and won't get a FQDN for this stage of development.

How would Apache know to route  that to the third name-based vhost
when you use the IP address only and no matching servername?  You
should mock the hostname in your hosts file from the client you test
on.
