Is that your full httpd.conf file? It seems mighty small and missing a few directives/modules. Try to run: apachectl configtest to see if your syntax is correct. I'm not sure how it is in Linux but all the virtual hosts that I have created for my server are also located in /usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf but Im sure the locations configuration locations are different for you (since this is BSD). Whats the point of the 127.0.1.1 address? You would probably want to bind to the IP that the system has been allocated since from external machines cannot route to the 127 address. Remember to look for some example files and follow documentations. Apache has great documentation on their site although it can be a bit cryptic at first. ~Andrew On 4/30/2009, "Ron Johnson" <42octopus at gmail.com> wrote: >root at ron-laptop:/home/www# mkdir vbrew.com >root at ron-laptop:/home/www# ls >vbrew.com >root at ron-laptop:/home/www# cd vbrew.com >root at ron-laptop:/home/www/vbrew.com# gedit html.htm >root at ron-laptop:/home/www/vbrew.com# apache2ctl start >apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain >name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName >httpd (pid 5807) already running >root at ron-laptop:/home/www/vbrew.com# >root at ron-laptop:/home/www/vbrew.com# ls >html.htm >root at ron-laptop:/home/www/vbrew.com# > > > > >Here is my httpd.conf file. > >NameVirtualHost 172.16.0.199 > ><VirtualHost 172.16.0.199> > >ServerName www.vbrew.com > >DocumentRoot /home/www/vbrew.com > ></virtualHost> > ><VirtualHost 172.16.0.199> > >ServerName www.virtualvineyard.com > ></VirtualHost> > > > >So the server is running. >Is my Dns failing? >I wrote an html document in www.vbrew.com. >But I can not load the web page www.vbrew.com in another computer's browser >on my lan.
