Just thought I'd mention that since some people with internal networks try to set something like that up and find that it won't work since 127.0.0.1 does not get sent to the right computer...

Thanks Guys.

I just had to enter the following line to /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1 rob rob.localhost

roBofh, currently I have no intention for others to access it, since the linux box doesn't have the internet on it. I am just doing this for practice.

Yea, I was just about to say, if you don't have rob.localhost pointing to 127.0.0.1 on the linux machine, you ain't gonna get nowhere. And dont try accessing it from another machine since it's on the loopback device.

ok, here´s the quick info:

append a line with your domain-name to /etc/hosts like:
www.rob.com 127.0.0.1

Now you should be able to access the first domain by typing www.rob.com in your browser.
Then edit httpd.conf like this

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1

<VirtualHost ip.address.of.host.some_domain.com>
ServerAdmin webmaster@host.some_domain.com
DocumentRoot /www/docs/host.some_domain.com
ServerName host.some_domain.com
ErrorLog logs/host.some_domain.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/host.some_domain.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

restart apache and there you go
later
