[users@httpd] What editor to edit config files with Windows XP?
I have Windows XP running Apache 2.0.54.
When I edit my hosts, httpd, and other files, I use notepad. When I save the
files, they become .txt files. Should I be using some other editor to
correctly save the files as other than .txt? I notice some things do not
work correctly and am thinking this may be the issue I am having?
Virtual hosts does not work although I have them set exactly as various
examples in Apache docs and elsewhere on the web. Also I can get to the
apache start page ok using 127.0.0.1 but not using localhosts.
In my hosts file, I have "127.0.0.1 localhost" as the first line.
My virtual hosts are set up as follows:
#
#Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/www/Apache2/htdocs/dreammaster
ServerName www.dreammaster.info
ServerAlias dreammaster.info dreammaster
ErrorLog logs/dreammaster.log
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/www/Apache2/htdocs/owlnet
ServerName www.owlnet.net
ServerAlias owlnet.net owlnet
ErrorLog logs/owlnet.log
</VirtualHost>
Those are the correct paths to root documents, etc. yet virtual hosts does
not work in that I can not get to either using:
http://127.0.0.1/owlnet
http://127.0.0.1/owlnet.net
http://www.owlnet.net
etc
All tests for php, mysql, perl, etc work at http://127.0.0.1/whatever test.
My main reason for installing apache is to have a test server to use for
building websites under Dreamweaver. IIS wasn't cutting it for me.
Thanks for any help.

I would recommend you use EditPad {lite or pro}. No control character
issues.

There's a dropdown box below the filename, called 'Save as type' when you
save. Set this to 'all files', instead of 'text documents (*.txt)'. This
should fix the automagically added .txt extension.
