I have WAMP (Vista) set up on my local machine for testing websites while in development. I've set up virtual hosts in my apache config and put the host names in the hosts file.
I can access my sites using a url like this:
http://testsite.localhost:8080/
Only problem is that it only works in Firefox.
In IE or Safari I get this error:
Bad Gateway
The following error occurred:
[code=DNS_HOST_NOT_FOUND] The host name was not found during the DNS lookup. Contact your system administrator if the problem is not found by retrying the URL.
Can anyone tell me what's going on here? Why would it work in Firefox, but not IE or Safari? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

| Is testsite.localhost in your windows hosts file? |
