To describe the answer to the solution, we needed a little more
context that was not available in the original mail to the list.
Ken was getting a different response to his browsing when trying to
visit the site from the local machine and remote machines.
This threw my instinct to worrying about DNS/vhosts... I asked Ken
how he was browsing to the sites, as there would be a distinct
difference to Apache of browsing to http://192.168.1.x versus
http://127.0.0.1. He replied that he was browsing to kc8tdw.com on
each machine; I asked what does that name resolve to on each machine.
Ken then wrote that on the local machine for the webserver, kc8tdw.com
was listed 3 times, as was in his /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 kc8tdw.com localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 kc8tdw.com kc8tdw
192.168.1.65 kc8tdw.com kc8tdw
He asked if that looked correct... I let him know that there should
only be one reference in his /etc/hosts, typically, to kc8tdw.com and
to removew his domain name from the first line, remove the second, and
leave the third line alone.
He replied that the fix worked... As the vhost configuration was
correct (since other machines could access the corect information),
the name resolution on the local machine was point to localhost which
was not configured to respond with the correct vhost. We could have
also adjusted the Apache configu to present that vhost on the
127.0.0.1 request, but it was a better and cleaner solution to clean
up the name resolution.
