[Xitami] Newbie can't setup virtual hosts

[Julian Rickards]

Paul:

I have had success.

I setup HOSTS.SAM with

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 stc

and saved the file.

I then installed Xitami in O:\Xitami and copied the stc files to 
O:\Xitami\webpages\stc\public_html\.  I setup the stc "site" begins 
at "./webpages/stc/public_html/" (and cgi-bin begins at 
"./webpages/stc/cgi-bin/" and ftp root is at "./webpages/stc/").  I 
also setup the stc "site" so that it uses the DNS name of "stc" which 
is tied to the configuration file of "stc.cfg".

I restarted Xitami and typed "stc" in the location bar.  This time, I 
let IE dial up and once it connected with my ISP, IE then showed me 
my stc "site".  I am puzzled by the need to connect to my ISP because 
everytime I try a link within my stc site, it needs to connect to my 
ISP.

Technically, it is working but I wonder if anyone knows how to 
prevent it from dialing my ISP (I am using Win98SE).
