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

Ok, there are two clients in this thread, 1 is the client on the server console and is my personal linux system which is on the Internet. The /etc/hosts file on the server has an entry so that the alias in the vhost block resolves when testing on the server. Are you saying I need to edit the /etc/hosts file on my linux pc?

You can use an IP as a ServerName or ServerAlias. Otherwise, You need
the /etc/hosts entry on the client, and you need to actually use the
name in the browser -- otherwise the client cannot telegraph to Apache
which name-based virtual host it's accessing.
