Hi! I'm new.
I want to test some MySQL dbases on my local machine.
I've installed and removed, and installed and removed the Apache server
(vers.2.0.47) over, and over, and over, and over... again, and tried
dozens of possible combinations of installation options, and httpd.conf
settings and directives in order to have the server responding to at
least one and only one other address then the default one.
I've followed the instructions in the included documentation
(
http://localhost/manual/) as comfirmed in the on-line documentation
(
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/) as well.
All I want is a just a mere, simple, humble address like
"www.example.com". One! At least one and only one! In fact, I don't
even want any more, any longer vhosts! None at all! I just want the
default host to be a "www.example.com"-like address.
Whatever I do, however I set it, it shows up the starting page only for
http://localhost, or
http://s0.mshome.net.
It's amazing!!! I'm checking up the vhost settings on the console,
"apache.exe -S", it says no warning, no error, "syntax OK", "default
server www.example.com", and then I type in the browser the same
address, -it isn't OK anymore, anylonger..., it says nothing!
What do I miss, which directive do I overlook, since it happens this
way...???!
Thanks!
