I use xampp and I edit the httpd-vhosts.conf to the final of: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mysitewhonotexist.com DocumentRoot "C:\mysite\" </VirtualHost> I can access My site in my computer but I ping this online, and say not exist. Whats the problem? Thanks, and sorry my bad English, I am Brazilian
When the web is running (I can see the website) you have to be able to ping the domain. For example I'm able to ping brainzoid.com PING brainzoid.com (67.227.166.71) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from brainzoid.com (67.227.166.71): icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=149 ms 64 bytes from brainzoid.com (67.227.166.71): icmp_seq=2 ttl=48 time=150 ms You should specify what is your problem in more details. Regards
I am using Windows 8 (64 bits) With VertrigoServ (With Apache, PHP, MYSql, etc) I put in the httpd-vhosts.conf this: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mysitewhonotexist.com DocumentRoot "C:\sites\mysitewhonotexist.com\" </VirtualHost> Code (markup): In the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts I edit the last line for this: <My IPV6> mysitewhonotexist.com Code (markup): And you can ping mysitewhonotexist.com or go to a online proxy don't exist.
