Have you tried to see if the hostnames can be resolved correctly?
From a command prompt try to ping or do a host lookup (nslookup or
host) on the 3 names specified in the hosts file
ie.
ping websites
if this works then check to see if your browser is trying to use a web
proxy somewhere
Turn of your web proxy in the browser or setup an exclusion for those 2
domain names to go directly before testing it

Just for a thought, make the hosts file look something like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost websites agendatest
http://websites/ yields "Proxy Error"
http://localhost/ yields "Bad Gateway"
note the lowercase
Yes, I did.
and also for your apache config make sure you turn on Name based virtual
hosts
I did.
and use lowercase hostnames.
that, too. However, the Document Root says "C:/Websites"
another says "C:/Websites/AgendaTest" both of which are the actual
directories except for the "/" instead of "\".
I tried using all lowercase there, but it didn't seem to make a
difference.
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)
This is what I think is the problem. It may be that I have to do a
reboot after modifying the hosts file. I'll try that.
Finally, you probably won't need the following section in your config
Alias /AgendaTest/ "C:/Websites/AgendaTest/"
Ok, I'll eliminate it.
Thanks for the help!

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,
