[Xitami] Virtual Host...

[Bill Munden]

Thanks Ross,

What you said makes absolute sense.  I was looking through my defaults.cfg
file and I found a line that said...

*=virtualhost.cfg

However, that asterisk wasn't letting me access the virtualhost web until I
physically changed it to 127.0.0.1.  I don't know why the * wasn't working
except that that was how the xitami.cfg file was set up with ip addresses.
That file had a line in it that said...

*=ipaddress

Anyway, I got it working the way that I wanted to.  I can even access my
server using my Internet ip address, too.  Now I can get back to work. :)

Bill
