Cannot get virtual hosting to work

[<h1>Mckennie</h1>]

i have lampp installed, and i am trying to get virtual hosting to work, so i know how to do it in the future. on my local computer (a windows machine) i've put an entry in the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)

192.168.1.66 domain.tld

and i have put the following in the vhosts file on the server

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain.tld
ServerAlias domain.tld *.domain.tld
DocumentRoot /opt/lampp/media/
</VirtualHost>

then when i go to "domain.tld" its exactly the same as if i went to "192.168.1.66" and if i go to "www.domain.tld" firefox says "server not found". i want to know if there's anything i'm doing wrong

Try this in you windows hosts file:

192.168.1.66 domain.tld
192.168.1.66 *.domain.tld

i needed to uncomment an include in httpd.conf to include httpd-vhosts.conf. i am now officially moving from ubuntu to slackware because this forum has such an awful error rate.

Thats interesting.

You did not mention what version of Ubuntu server you were running.

In Ubuntu 10.04 virtualhost is running happily with a blank httpd.conf.

Two relative configs are:

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

# Include the virtual host configurations:
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

/etc/apache2/ports.conf

NameVirtualHost *
Listen 80

The beauty of Linux is the freedom it offers us to choose.

Enjoy.

Even though Ubuntu lacks integration components, I can still use it on a VM because webmin allows full access.

If you are using a VM for a web hosting, make sure that port 80 is sent to the right VM

Virtual host definitions in Ubuntu are stored in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled. Did you put your custom definition there?
