Virtual Local Host on Windows 2000
Tomcat 5.0.28:
I would like to set up a virtual local host to test on my system. The
name of the domain for testing doesn't really matter but I chose
test.localhost and had the appBase point to webapps/test (see below):
<Host name="test.localhost" appBase="webapps/test">
<Context path="" docBase="."/>
</Host>
Anyway I copied a test app into webapps/test but selecting
http://test.localhost/ results in FF appending www. to the front and IE
not displaying anything.
All literature on the web seems to be linux based with modifying Apache
hosts.conf. I am not running with Apache locally so that is not an option.
Any good linkage I might of missed or a simple 1.2.3 for me?
Thanks Graham Reeds.

The hosts file is part of the tcp/ip stack of the OS, not Tomcat.

But TC doesn't have a hosts file to resolve it to.
I was hoping that sub-domaining localhost would give it a clue...

Do you have test.localhost defined in the hosts file? Or otherwise
resolvable to a valid IP address (presumably 127.0.0.1)? If not, how do
you expect the browser to figure out where to connect to?
