Hello Richard Sergeant,

Please do not use .local because it is a special case and it is realy
treated special. If you need a local domain please use .site or if you
have a real domain, create a subdomain like me
tamay-dogan.net -> private.tamay-dogan.net
which will solv any problems.
Note: <private.tamay-dogan.net> is not resolvable outside
of my local network because it use <192.168.y.x>.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening

Re: [users@httpd] Re: [SOLVED] Named virtual host dot local
[.local] tld
Posted by Richard Sergeant <ri...@gmail.com>.
I've managed to solve this - for reasons I'm not fully understanding.
Previously I was actually editing an existing named virtual host called
'testbed' and adding the .local to the ServerName directive. Despite
restarting/reloading it refused to stick.
Creating a separate named virtual host 'developer.local', then adding
with a2ensite and reload worked with the .local 'tld' without any
issues.
My guess is there was some caching or other issue with modifying the
existing NVH that restarting or reloading does not 'fix'. That's worth
knowing as I've had issues in the past when editing NVH's and the
changes not appearing to apply.
Thanks all.

Works just fine for me, doubt it's a bug in your version:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ErrorDocument 404 "this is localhost"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName foo.local
ErrorDocument 404 "this is foo.local"
</VirtualHost>
$ PS1=""
GET http://localhost/xxx
this is localhost
GET http://foo.local/xxx
this is foo.local
GET http://127.0.0.1/xxx
this is localhost
GET http://127.0.0.2/xxx
this is localhost

That's not really an ideal solution. For years .local has been
universally used on lans for local only, non-routeable resolution.
Changing this to something else because Apache can't handle it means I
have to break other stuff.
Is it actually a stone cold fact that Apache can't cope with .local as I
don't see any documentation explaining it? The one thing I'm sure of is
it would be documented somewhere as the project documentation is mostly
excellent. The reason for being specific on this is I have a test
Microsoft IIS 6 box (for ASP development) that happily handles
msbox.local on the host header - so I'm inclined to think this could
just be a plain old bug in the version I have.
