It's that hotfix you must have. Then, if it works and listen 80 doesn't behave, I suspect that MS is still treating each loopback IP as disassociated from 'all' 0.0.0.0. So try this instead listen 127.0.0.1:80 listen 127.0.0.2:80 ... listen 127.0.0.5:80 Oh, and take a look at using windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on the machine she uses to set up 127.0.0.1 www.myshop.local www.thatshop.local and then use named hosts to map www.myshop.local etc each to their own vhost. It's alot easier than by-ip, and you can even use a real (local) ip of the box apache is running on (listening to that port) and copy around these lines to the other boxes, so she can compare ie to firefox etc etc. Mark Kalmus wrote:
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. M Kalmus
