I added the lines in /etc/hosts, so now when I try <a href="http://theswebsite.com">http://theswebsite.com</a> (secondwebsite) on the computer that is the server, it shows me my first site, the same thing happen when I try <a href="http://www.linuxabcd.org">http://www.linuxabcd.org</a>. If instead of <a href="http://www.linuxabcd.org">http://www.linuxabcd.org</a> I try file://www.linuxabcd.org, I see my file system. When I try from the Windows computer I can find only the first site I tried <a href="http://192.168.0.105">http://192.168.0.105</a>, goes to the first website (seems logical to me) <a href="http://192.168.0.105/www.theswebsite.com">http://192.168.0.105/www.theswebsite.com</a> the webpage cannot be found. It does the same with file://192.168.0.105/www.theswebsite. I tried apache2 -S in the terminal and this is the result: VirtualHost configuration: wildcard NameVirtualHosts and_default_servers: *:* is a NameVirtualHost default server <a href="http://myfirstsite.com">myfirstsite.com</a> (etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mysite:2) port * namevhost <a href="http://myfirstsite.com">myfirstsite.com</a> (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mysite:2) Syntax OK It apparently recognizes only one server name which is the name of the first website. Is there anything except writing name server and server alias in the virtual host files that I should have done? I have now <a href="http://192.168.0.105/" target="_blank">192.168.0.105</a> <a href="http://www.linuxabcd.org/" target="_blank">www.linuxabcd.org and </a><a href="http://192.168.0.105/" target="_blank">192.168.0.105</a> name.second.domain defined in /etc/hosts Thank you Meg <div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 4, 2008 3:55 PM, Aart Koelewijn <<a href="mailto:aart@mtack.xs4all.nl">aart@mtack.xs4all.nl</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">On Mon, 04 Feb 2008 15:15:39 -0500, Ashley Benton wrote: > I deleted everything, and just left, name server and server alias... in > the <VirtualHost> </VirtualHost> files. > The result is the same.
