In the past I just had one machine. I ran apache on it. I modified the hosts file to point aliases to the local box.
127.0.0.1 mysite_com So in my browser, I could type in: mysite_com (underscore instead of dot) and bring up the site. Now I have a new box running windows 7 that will be the machine I use for dev. I have assigned the server a static Ip of 192.168.1.2 and the computer name "server". I have modified the conf file to listen to ip 192.168.1.2 I have tried to modify the hosts file on the win 7 machine with the following different things: server mysite_com \\server mysite_com 192.168.1.2 mysite_com All of these fail to bring up the site. I can remote desktop to the machine via its ip or name. What am I doing wrong?
