The goal is set up the virtual host in the directory /Users/dad/research/dataenv. The virtual host name is "DataEnvironment".
With my current settings, when I run apachectl -t I get:
[Fri Mar 13 16:48:48 2009] [warn] VirtualHost
127.0.0.1:80 overlaps with VirtualHost
127.0.0.1:80, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive
[Fri Mar 13 16:48:48 2009] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
Syntax OK
When I run apachectl -S I get:
[Fri Mar 13 16:56:45 2009] [warn] VirtualHost
127.0.0.1:80 overlaps with VirtualHost
127.0.0.1:80, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive
[Fri Mar 13 16:56:45 2009] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
VirtualHost configuration:
127.0.0.1:80 DataEnvironment (/private/etc/apache2/users/dad.conf:1)
Syntax OK
So it looks like apache things there's a virtual host in the right place. However, when I go to
http://DataEnvironment in any browser, I get, e.g:
Safari can’t find the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://dataenvironment/” because it can’t find the server “dataenvironment”.
If anyone could shed some light that would be great (and sorry if I'm making an obvious stupid error).
best,
Dan
Below I've included the text of my /private/etc/hosts and httpd-vhosts.conf configuration files. I've also uncommented the virtual host include line in httpd.conf.
/private/etc/hosts:

fe80::1%lo0 localhost
httpd-vhosts.conf:
