Take a look at the 'ServerName' directive in your httpd.conf file. Try uncommenting said directive, and put your IP address beside it. From httpd.conf, look particularily at the last paragraph: # ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself. # This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify # it explicitly to prevent problems during startup. # # If this is not set to valid DNS name for your host, server-generated # redirections will not work. See also the UseCanonicalName directive. # # If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here. # You will have to access it by its address anyway, and this will make # redirections work in a sensible way. However, I would think the hosts file would have done it though, but it's worth a try. Steve
