Just for a thought, make the hosts file look something like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost websites agendatest

note the lowercase

and also for your apache config make sure you turn on Name based virtual hosts and use lowercase hostnames.

read: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/name-based.html
for more info on setting up name based virtual hosts

Also, the order in which the hosts file gets used in windows applications depends on the function to do DNS resolution (there are at least 2 and they use a different order with regards to hosts file and DNS lookups)

Finally, you probably won't need the following section in your config

Alias /AgendaTest/ "C:/Websites/AgendaTest/"

I am trying to setup a testing server for Dreamweaver 8.  Most of my
work is in subdirectories of C:\Websites, for example
C:\Websites\AgendaTest.  I would like to use Apache with PHP as a
testing server.  I am getting confused between Virtual Hosts and
Aliases.  I thought that adding the lines:

127.0.0.1  Localhost
127.0.0.1  Websites
127.0.0.1  AgendaTest

to Hosts in \Windows\System32\Drivers\etc in combination with virtual
hosts in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf would
do it, but I guess not.
In httpd.conf I set up (at various places)
Servername localhost:80
DocumentRoot "C:/Websites"
<Directory "C:/Websites">
Alias /websites "C:/Websites/"
<Directory "C:/Websites">
        Options Indexes MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /AgendaTest/ "C:/Websites/AgendaTest/"
<Directory "C:/Websites/AgendaTest">
        Options Indexes MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *>
        DocumentRoot "C:/Websites"
        ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
        DocumentRoot "C:/Websites/AgendaTest"
        ServerName AgendaTest
</VirtualHost>

What am I screwing up here?

Thanks,
