Apache :: Virtual host problem

Hi

I'm a newbie with Apache and just start trying to set up a test server. The problem is that I can't open http://mysite.local.
I've made an index.html for mysite.local but each time I was trying to open that page it failed. Also http://localhost redirects to index.html (which I create).
I use:

Here is the mysite.conf: http://apaste.info/cw5

And additional code for httpd.conf:

Hi rugzmsk

The simple answer to your query is that you need to add an entry to your hosts file:

127.0.0.1 mysite.local

However, your query puzzles me. You don't really seem to be setting up virtual hosts, rather one host on a virtual machine. These are not the same. Or have I misunderstood?

I think you need to give more details of your httpd.conf; the 'cmd' issue must relate to errors there.

I also don't believe that NameVirtualHost *:80 has any place or meaning in httpd.conf.

Hi rugzmsk

That it's working on restart is probably because the DNS cache was flushed. You can do this manually if/when you add further entries to your hosts file, by typing at a command prompt:
ipconfig /flushdns

You do not seem at present to be actually running a 'virtual host' (though you may have plans to do so). In which case, it would be more logical to add these lines from your mysite.conf file:

ServerName www.mysite.local
ServerAlias mysite.local
ServerAdmin webmaster@mysite.local
ErrorLog "C:/Apache/logs/error.log"
CustomLog "C:/Apache/logs/access.log" common
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/Apache/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

directly into httpd.conf, deleting the lines:

NameVirtualHost *:80
Include "C:/Apache/conf/mysite.conf"

Also comment out:
ServerAdmin user@company.ru

Giving an explicit server name in httpd.conf should solve the 'cmd' problem.
