Topic: Can only have one virtual host?

[bazianm]

Hi all...

I have a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install (desktop). I installed Apache, php and mysql from APT and updated everything.

I tried to setup a virtual host using these directions:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts

I followed them to the letter:

o I created a folder /var/www/mydomain.local/public_html
o I copied the 000-default.conf in sites available and modified it
o I added mydomain.local to my hosts file (with IP of 127.0.0.1
o I used a2ensite to enable the host
o I used service apache2 reload

When I went to mydomain.local in firefox, it took me to the default host main page.

I tried a restart of the service and even a reboot of the computer. No change.

On a theory, I used a2dissite to remote 000-default from the enabled site list and reloaded the service. I got the home page for mydomain.local after that.

I created a named host called localhost and reloaded the apache. When I went to http://localhost it took me to the mydomain.local homepage.

Rebooted the computer. Now, localhost gives me the apache default home page and mydomain.local does not work at all (I get a server not found).

I get the feeling that there is an apache configuration item I am missing but I cannot find it.

Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to make this my development laptop and I will need many many hosts on this.

Thanks in advance
