Note that "roatanbakery.com" is the default virtual host, so any unknown virtual server is treated as if you requested roatanbakery.com. Therefore by asking for localhost/roatanbakery.com you ask for roatanbakery.com/roatanbakery.com which doesn't exist. > My reading of the docs for UseCanonicalName Off says that this should > work. the UseCanonicalName only cares about server redirects. IF you turned it off, you would apparently get error that roatanbakery.com/roatanbakery.com doesn't exist but the result would be the same. > Trying to wget these virtuals also doesn't work, so I know its > something to do with the Apache configuration, but I don't see what's wrong. you can create virtual host named "localhost" pointing to /var/www/html. Note that you'll be able to see any content under that directory, unless you disable it other directives. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
