Apache not running on localhost

[terra1fab]

My apache server is running on 127.0.0.1 but not on localHost.
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.15
listen 80
listen 8080

<virtualHost localhost:80>
     phpMyadmin site
</Virtualhost>

<virtualHost localhost:8080>
     my website
</Virtualhost>

The problem is if i type localhost in internet explorer, i get an error,
BUT if i type 127.0.0.1, it works. My hosts file does have a mapping
127.0.0.1 localhost

Also, i cannot browse to another site on the local area network from my PC by typing in the ip of the computer hosting the site (of course the site works, i can access it from a third PC) .

Also, i cannot use IP base virtrual hosting
<virtualhost 192.168.0.15>

</virtualhost>

Please help

Hi there,

What's your OS?

If your OS is Linux you can enter the following command to see all of the programs that are running.

ps -ax

If apache is not running, try to restart it

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Also you can look into your apache logs to see what the error is if it won't start.

in your httpd.conf file change "virtualHos t" to "VirtualHos t"

You define 'localhost" in the named.conf file

Be sure that you also have a localhost file in your zone files.

Here is the beginning of my named.conf file

controls {
        inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};
zone "." IN {
        type hint;
        file "named.ca";
};

zone "localhost" IN {
        type master;
        file "localhost.zone";
        allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
        type master;
        file "named.local";
        allow-update { none; };
};

and here is my zone file "localhost.zone "

$TTL    86400
$ORIGIN localhost.
@                       1D IN SOA       @ root (
                                        42              ; serial (d. adams)
                                        3H              ; refresh
                                        15M             ; retry
                                        1W              ; expiry
                                        1D )            ; minimum

                        1D IN NS        @
                        1D IN A         127.0.0.1

Make sure that those entries are there and that named is up and running.

Hi there,

What's your OS?

If your OS is Windows
please check this file :C:\windows\sys tem32\drivers\e tc\hosts

Hi there,

By default the hosts file includes localhost with (127.0.0.1) as it's IP address, add new host name unless you have changed the server name. Good luck & Take care.
