hi,
I'm trying to setup virtual host on my laptop (Ubuntu 8.04) but 
something went wrong and I don't know how to fix.

this is what I did:

1. I created directory called dev.lamp.com in /home/lamp/www
2. changed permissions to apache (I don't know if this is necessary, but 
found in on of tons, more-less the same, tutorials)
 chown -R www-data:www-data dev.lamp.com
3. in /etc/hosts I added dev.lamp.com, next to localhost
4. in /etc/apache2/sites-available I made a copy of "default", named 
dev.lamp.com.conf and modified:

<VirtualHost *>
 ServerAdmin webmaster at localhost

 ServerName dev.lamp.com
   DocumentRoot /home/lamp/www/dev.lamp.com/

 ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
 LogLevel warn
 CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

5. made a link toward /etc/apache2/sites/enabled:

ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/dev.lamp.com.conf 
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/dev.lamp.com.conf

6. restarted apache

when I open http://localhost I'll get "It Works!" on screen and that's 
correct, that's Apache default page. But when open http://dev.lamp.com I 
would get "It Works!" too - not the content of index.html file inside 
dev.lamp.com?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
LAMP
