Mac OS X Lion Apache Server not Found
- by Burak Erdem
After upgrading to Lion 10.7.2 today, Apache virtual hosts are not working anymore. When I go to http://XYZ.localhost, it say "server not found".
I am using Apache on my Mac OS X Lion and until today, it was working fine. I can access http://localhost but I can't access http://XYZ.localhost
My /etc/hosts file is like below;
127.0.0.1 XYZ.localhost
My /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf file is like below;
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName XYZ.localhost
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents/XYZ
<Directory /Library/WebServer/Documents/XYZ>
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I think I once had this problem too, after another OS X update, but I can't remember how I solved it.
Is it a user permission issue? Or is there something wrong with Apache or any other setting?
EDIT: It seems like my /etc/hosts file is not working correctly. Even if I add something like 127.0.0.1 apple.com it still goes to the real apple.com. Maybe this might help to solve the problem.
