Duplicate your vhost server names (and serveraliases if you like) in your hosts file with 127.0.0.1. That will allow DNS to resolve them to your loopback IP address and things should work. --Mark Mark Lavi, Enterprise Web Management Team @ SGI mailto:mlavi@xxxxxxx || phone:+1-650-933-7707 -----Original Message----- From: Stephen [mailto:stephen-d@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 11:30 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Resolving to 127.0.0.1 I am traveling and set my laptop u with apaches, mysql, php and want to continue my web work. I am using Windows XP Pro I have set the test domains to resolve to 127.0.0.1 in my hosts file. When I ping them in a cmd window they resolve to 127.0.0.1 and the ping works. In Firefox, when I do to http://127.0.0.1 I get the apache welcome page I have entered the domains in my vhosts.conf file. When I enter test domain in Firefox it says it is unable to establish a connection Any ideas? Thank you!
