Because it's Windows, I had to stop the "DNS Client" service -- Or, at least, that seemed to help... Maybe I should start that again and test. Also, I was dumb enough to not have all my VirtualHost's in /etc/hosts, only it's Windows so it's c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (in *THIS* versions of Windows, not the other versions, where it's some other directory. Sheesh!) And, finally, for reasons beyond my ken: NameVirtualHost *:80 was no good, but NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80 was good. Go figure. Got it to work, but it feels more like Voodoo than anything else. Thanks to all, and apologies for this off-topic post to wrap this up. Hope it forestalls at least one post somewhere in the future. Hmmmmm. I wonder if I could put something in ?/hosts to do: [a-zA-Z0-9-]* 127.0.0.1 In other words, if I try to surf to 'example' (not example.com) then I just want my local Apache VirtualHost settings to kick in, so I can work on sites locally, without digging around and changing ?/hosts every time.
