I'm not an expert in apache, but couldn't you just do Listen *:80 instead of Listen 192.168.1.3:80?

I tried using virtual hosts by uncommenting the line LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf and adding the following entries in the file conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName localhost </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName 127.0.0.1 </VirtualHost> However the above does not work (i did restart apache :)). So when i do http://127.0.0.1/ or http://localhost/ i get a message Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost. Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1 but i i do a http://192.168.1.3/ it works fine. Any tips on how to configure httpd.conf and httpd-vhosts.conf to make the above work is really appreciated. Thanks.
