Hi gang,
I'm doing some local dev work on a site that depends heavily on URLs (www.xyz.com) to direct to pages. In Ubuntu, I've got around this by redirecting www.xyz.com to my VirtualHost in /etc/hosts/, but I need to test in XP VirtualBox (IE 7) and it's proving a bit of a pain. So far I've got the front page working, but nothing else.
The attempt so far:
Within the XP VM, I've added "192.168.0.101 www.xyz.com" to c:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/hosts & in Ubuntu, I've added "192.168.0.101 www.xyz.com" to /etc/hosts/ ...This gives me access to the front page, but nothing else.
Server = Apache2, OS = 8.10, VirtualBox = 2.04 running XP SP3.
Any cape-wearing heroes able to help me out with this one? Any suggestions very appreciated.
Cheers,
- JB
