Need help configuring tux and apache to work together for localhost and virtual hosting

[Ralph E. Kenyon, Jr.]

Hi all,

I was able to get virtual hosting working so I can see the virtual hosts  
using both tux and apache (tux-2.2.9-1 and Apache/2.9.40) from both the  
Linux 9 box using Opera 7.23 and over the lan from the W2K machine running  
Opera 7.50P3.

I'm using the linux system for website development, so it's not intended  
to serve the internet.
http://www.xenodochy.org/ is expected to take me to the internet, while  
http://xenodochy.org is expected to take me to my local development copy.   
That setup is presently working as desired.

But now I have a different problem. I can no longer see the default host  
on the linux machine.  (/var/www/html is no longer accessible from either  
my linux machine or from my windows machine via the lan.)

It looks like my configuration is still faulty.  I could use any help or  
suggestions.

I have a LAN connection W2K running IIS, with ICS enabled to, Redhat linux  
9 running tux and apache.
The W2K machine is my gateway to the internet, because my my satellite  
service is not supported under linux.
The W2K machine address is 192.168.0.1. The linux machine address is  
192.168.0.2.
Tux is the primary server on port 80 with apache as the secondary server  
on port 8080

After following the instructions at  
http://www.redhat.com/archives/tux-list/2003-May/msg00011.html, I was able  
to get virtual hosting to work for my two development domains  
xenodochy.org and ballroomdances.org

However, I can no longer see the linux local host site from either the  
linux machine or the W2K machine.
Entering http://192.168.0.2/ on the W2K machine simply produces a blank  
screen after some delay.
Entering http://127.0.0.1/ on the linux machine does the same.

The tux log does not show a GET request corresponding to either of these  
events.  Neither does the apache log.
It looks like the request is not being seen by Tux.

I can read file://localhost and get the root directory of the linux system  
(from the linux system), but,
http://localhost/ just comes back blank.

Here are some config file info:

/etc/hosts contains:
192.168.0.1     xenodochy       xenodochy
192.168.0.2     linux   linux
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost linux.net xenodochy.org  
ballroomdances.org

\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts contains:
127.0.0.1     localhost
192.168.0.1	  xenodochy
192.168.0.2	  linux  linux.net xenodochy.org  ballroomdances.org

Per the above URL, httpd.conf has
Listen 127.0.0.1:8080


Any help would be appreciated (I'm still very new to linux).
