apache not connecting to .local domain

  • 772

I have apache2 on my Mac OS X Lion box with name-based virtual hosting turned on.

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName my.puter.edu
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/Sites"
    <Directory "/path/to/Sites">
    ...
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName foo.local
    ProxyPass        / http://127.0.0.1:25012/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:25012/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName bar.local
    ProxyPass        / http://127.0.0.1:25013/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:25013/
</VirtualHost>

My /etc/hosts file has the following entries

127.0.0.1       localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost 
fe80::1%lo0     localhost

127.0.0.1       foo.local
127.0.0.1       bar.local
184.72.115.86   search.yahoo.com

From the command line I can successfully ping my.puter.edu, ping foo.local, and ping bar.local. But from the browser I can only reach http://my.puter.edu. The browser is unable to establish a connection to foo.local and bar.local.

Suggestions?

  1. It could be the problem of proxy behind apache that you are using for foo.local and bar.local as per your configuration

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName foo.local
    ServerAlias bar.local
    ProxyPass        / http://127.0.0.1:25012/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:25012/
</VirtualHost>

    What are running behind 25012 port (Are they actually running or not ?) ? Have you checked apache logs ? Browser error output can not match the verbosity of log files when debugging.
