We have a handful of ecommerce sites for my wifes cottage industry business. We are developing the sites on a PC running Apache v.1.x, but after having to install XP SP2 so her new Microsoft accounting software would run, her VirtualHost addresses ceased to work, making site changes arduous.
Previously, she had 127.0.0.1 through 127.0.0.5 as virtual websites that she would develop and upload after testing to a live server. But now only 127.0.0.1 is functioning (as localhost) and her PHP server-side include statements are no longer working.
I’ve googled this issue to my heart’s content and remain stymied. Microsoft has a KB hotfix that was to address the loopback failure issue, but we still can’t get to her virtualhosts.
Any guidance you might offer would be greatly appreciated.
