Ok, I added

127.0.0.1     localhost.localdomain localhost lokrin.lokrin.com lokrin

and

127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost
ip_eth_0_or_1   lokrin.lokrin.com       lokrin
still no change

as for DHCP and IIRC and OP (?) - - -

I only want to call the site up from the same computer that the site is
on.  I don't want anyone on the net to be able to call it up.  My
computer domain is set up for lokrin.com.  My REAL website is at
lokrin.net.  I want to be able to work the site code locally and see
what happens (when I make mistakes).

What gets me is that I was able to do it. Now I can't.

Also, it says I don't have permission to access "/" .  Does this mean
it is trying to access my root directory rather than my site directory,
which according to webmin is:

Virtual Servers

Default Server

Defines the default settings for all other virtual servers, and processes any unhandled requests.

Address Any Port Any

Server Name Lokrin Document Root /var/www/html            (default)

Virtual Server

Handles the name-based server on all addresses

Address Any Port Any

Server Name Lokrin                              (path same as hosted site) Document Root /home/lokrin/www/www

Virtual Server

Processes all requests on port 443 not handled by other virtual servers.

Address Any Port 443

Server Name new.host.name:443 Document Root /var/www/html            (default)

And the site IS located in both places.  I need to set a link to
redirect /var/www/html to the /home/lokrin/www/www sometime later....



Thanks
