Hi, I'm trying to set up a virtual host on a new OS10.5.6 machine. I'm using settings that I run on several other OSX machines (also 10.5.6) and they work fine, but for some reason fail on this machine . The goal is set up the virtual host in the directory /Users/dad/research/dataenv. The virtual host name is "DataEnvironment".

To me, the error message from Safari seems more like a "I can't resolve this hostname" error as opposed to a "this site won't load error". First try doing a "ping DataEnvironment" to see if it correctly resolves to "127.0.0.1". If not, it means your hosts file is either not being read or your DNS is screwy.

If the ping comes back successfully, then check your Apache access log and error log to make sure the request is being properly seen and if it's producing any errors. You can also add the following directive to your config file to avoid the warning on start-up.

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80

This will also ensure that Apache tries to server up your VirtualHost entry when the Host: header is "DataEnvironment" (as opposed to falling back to the default site).
