setting up virtualhost and /etc/hosts

[HyperFlexed]

Hi, I've set up apache2, but I'm having trouble getting virtual hosts to work

my /etc/hosts


127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 johnny-desktop

127.0.0.1 go

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf


NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /var/www
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /var/www/go/htdocs
ServerName go
</VirtualHost>

When I visit http://localhost I get /var/www/
When I visit http://go I get /var/www/go/htdocs/

The problem is when I visit http://127.0.0.1 I get the contents of /var/www/go/htdocs/. I want /var/www/ instead. Any idea? Let me know if you need more information.

Switch the VirtualHost containers so the go host comes before localhost.

If none of the hosts match, Apache serves the first host which is also known as the default host.

by that logic, wouldn't I want localhost at the top? (so that if nothing matches, /var/www is served?)

EDIT: for some strange reason everything seems to be working now. Maybe I had a caching issue.
