[TriLUG] Hosts file entry for Name-based Virtual Host

[Josh Vickery]

You want to type "http://www.php.com" in your webbrowser and have it
take you to localhost?

If so, you would have an entry in /etc/hosts that looks like:

127.0.0.1 www.php.com

The virtual host directive looks fine to me, assuming you only want to
connect on port 80.
