After upgrading to Lion 10.7.2 today, Apache virtual hosts are not working anymore. When I go to http://XYZ.localhost, it say "server not found".

I am using Apache on my Mac OS X Lion and until today, it was working fine. I can access http://localhost but I can't access http://XYZ.localhost

My /etc/hosts file is like below;

127.0.0.1   XYZ.localhost

My /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf file is like below;

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName XYZ.localhost

    DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents/XYZ

    <Directory /Library/WebServer/Documents/XYZ>

        DirectoryIndex index.php

        AllowOverride All

        Order allow,deny

        Allow from all

    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

I think I once had this problem too, after another OS X update, but I can't remember how I solved it.

Is it a user permission issue? Or is there something wrong with Apache or any other setting?

EDIT: It seems like my /etc/hosts file is not working correctly. Even if I add something like 127.0.0.1 apple.com it still goes to the real apple.com. Maybe this might help to solve the problem.

You need this in your conf:

NameVirtualHost *:80

So it should look like:

NameVirtualHost *:80



<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName XYZ.local

DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents/XYZ

<Directory /Library/WebServer/Documents/XYZ>

        DirectoryIndex index.php

        AllowOverride All

        Order allow,deny

        Allow from all

    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

You may also need to edit your main httpd.conf to include the httpd-vhosts.conf
