I have a little problem with this now.

I was able to add more than one virtual server before, where the I address were, 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2, 127.0.0.3 etc... and that worked fine, I could have different Sites under each number ad it would work fine.

But now it doesn't. The first one is fine, where I can type either http://localhost/ or http://127.0.01/ to get the default on, but any others just now won't work .. does anyone know what I maybe doing wrong? I've giveneach server a unique IP Address and Name, and it worked before, but not anymore.

Any help would be great.

Interesting...

Under normal circumstances I'd test this, but I haven't got a Windows box I can use without the verbal *** being kicked out of me right now.

Ask someone who knows about it like Phil or Luke. Nicely, mind.

Same thing. I set localhost as 10.0.0.1 and testsite as 10.0.0.2:

http://localhost/ works ok
http://10.0.0.1/ however, now doens't work.
http://testsite/ doesn't work.
http://10.0.0.2/ also doesn't work.

When I say doesn't work, I mean that it always brings up the dial-up connection box and if I click off-line, it just doesn't load anything.

I did the ping thing and it appears to work ok.

What I noticed was that when you goto IE and the dial-up comes up, and I click off-line, when I want to use the local server on my computer. Typeing in 127.0.0.1 or localhost works fine, but if I try 127.0.0.2 or testingsite and it brings up that 404 page, so I checked all the index.php set-up and all, and seemsto look fine.

I then tried un-ticking the Work Offline under the file menu of IE, and still 127.0.0.1 or localhost came up fine, but 127.0.0.2 or testingsite just brings up the connection box, and always tried to connecect to the net, instead of bring up the page it's supposed to, from my computer

So, for some reason, 127.0.0.1 does as it should, but anything else just tried looking on the net, and won't look in the place it should.

Any ideas?

Start -> Run, then run "command". Then just run "ping 127.0.0.2".

However, if you're getting a 404 it would suggest that OmniHTTPd is actually working, but it's just not finding a page at that location. Have you set up index files correctly?

How would I 'ping' it??

When I type in 127.0.0.1 or localhost, the site it's assigned to comes up fine, but if I try 127.0.0.2 or testingsite (the name I gave it) it just comes up with the Web Page you get when a site ins't found (404 isn't it)

Interesting.

What happens if you go to 127.0.0.2? Can you ping it?

Win95 Still, and I haven't installed anything new.

I had a couple of virtual servers set up, with 127.0.0.1, .2, .3 and they worked as indeviduals ok, but then I removed them, as I didn't need them, using the normal remove function in the Server Admin area.

I have since wanted to add another again to make it easier to test scripts and all, but it doesn't work this time.

Have you installed/removed anything? Did this just "start" happening? What OS are you using? Maybe XP decided to spontaneously "update" itself?

I never managed to get much sense out of OmniHttPd. Like I've said before, I use Xitami, and get no problems.
