I cannot resolve www.example.com on the local machine

[braakiss]

Hi everyone,
Mi problem is that I cannot resolve www.example.com in my local machine where I have installed ispconfig ( It is a vmware virtual machine )

I have a domain and a subdomain:

www.example.com
sub1.example.com

When I put in firefox ( in the virtual machine where I have ispconfig ) either www.example.com or sub1.example.com it shows "Test for the Apache web server" instead of "welcome to www.example.com" or "welcome to sub1.example.com". If I do that in another machine it works properly, it shows "welcome to..."

What is the problem?

Thanks in advance

Fernando M.

Please check with e.g. ping that the domain resolves to the same IP on both machines.

Hi Till,
If I do "ping www.example.com" on both machines it resolves 192.168.3.85, the same IP.

any idea?

What's in /etc/hosts? What's the output of ifconfig? What's in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf?

thanks again

Can you change

::1 sub1.example.com sub1 www.example.com www localhost.localdomain localhost

to
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost
in /etc/hosts?
