there is an extra space between webite/home:
te /home
You didn't mention which version of Apache you are using, it's usually
important, following for 2.0 not using aliases, but virtual hosts instead
for a development server on a local box.
This goes above your VH directives:
NameVirtualHost *:80
then:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot C:/website/home/mydomain/public_html/
ServerName yourvirtualdomain.com (don't use the "www")
ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
In your Windows hosts file, add the domain name:
127.0.0.1 localhost yourvirtualdomain.com
Restart Apache, you should be good to go. Access the local file by by not
using the www:
http://yourvirtualdomain.com and the live one with:
http://www.yourvirtualdomain.com
Aliases not needed now, includes work as expected, least ways that's how I
do it, works for me etc. :-)
Most problems can be figured out within the error logs for Apache, if this
isn't a typo as I suspect, then check those, and get back to the list with
the error(s) reported, much more helpful and not as much guessing.
hth!
cheers,
