I am running Apache 2.2 on Windows 2K Pro.
To test certain sites I need to have a 'domain name' of site.tmp (it needs the dot 3).
I had this running and now it does not. I need localhost to be the root and site.tmp to point to a specific folder. I have googled and tried many theories to no avail, does anyone have any ideas?
httpd.conf
Include "conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf"
httpd-vhosts.conf
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName localhost
Options All
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName site.tmp
Options All
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/SDCtest/Hyatt"
</VirtualHost>
HOSTS (windows)
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 site.tmp
accessing http://localhost renders the root
accessing http://127.0.0.1 renders the root
accessing http://site.tmp renders
| Code: | Service Unavailable
The proxy is currently unable to handle the request due to a (possibly) temporary error. Extended error information is:
* Failed to forward the request to the web server at site.tmp:80. This may be due to a firewall configuration error or a DNS failure.
If this situation persists, please contact your security gateway administrator. |
The odd things is that pinging site.tmp resolves to 127.0.0.1 and has the same TTL (128) as pinging localhost
A Tracert returns the same thing.
A httpd -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS returns
| Code: | NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1 has no VirtualHosts
VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NamedVirtual Hosts and _default_ servers:
*:* localhost (C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs:47)
*:* site.tmp (C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/SDCtest/Hyatt:52)
Syntax OK

The error message is very similar to one of the messages in Symantec Security Gateways Page 174: | Quote: | 238 - Failed to forward the request to the Web server.
This may be due to a security gateway configuration error or DNS failure
Description: The HTTP daemon fails to forward the request to the Web server.
The daemon is misconfigured or is unable to locate a proxy |
If you are running this software, or maybe a similar Symantec product - perhaps you can configure it to recognize site.tmp as a valid alias for localhost. It might even be as simple as restarting the security service after you added site.tmp to your drivers/etc/hosts file.

| I am in a corporate environment where there is no Internet Security apps on the desktop systems (short of virus protection - and disabling that has no effect). |

the message you receive is very clear.
make sure you can resolve your hostname site.tmp (which i doubt is possible) and if not: contact the "security gateway administrator" or anyone who is able and allowed to make that change in the corporate nameserver. |
