3. Verified that /etc/host.conf says "order hosts, dns" and verified that there is no DNS server running on this machine.
More importantly, does 'host simpaticus' return 127.0.0.1?
"host simpaticus" does not return anything; it says "no servers reached." I am under the impression that this is correct behavior since the host command is /only/ able to query DNS servers and not the /etc/hosts file; is this correct?
I'd expect to find the following in your httpd.conf file, based on your comments, are these there?
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80 <VirtualHost 127.0.0.l:80> DocumentRoot /home/rpaiz/www.simpaticus.com ServerName simpaticus ServerAlias simpaticus.localhost ErrorLog logs/www.simpaticus.com-error_log </VirtualHost>
These are there.
<Directory /home/rpaiz/www.simpaticus.com>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
These are not. I'll check the directory orders later on. However, I guess the problem may have more to do with the namevirtualhost "simpaticus" not being properly recognized for some reason...
