So - I cant get my virtual hosts to work.

I'm working on Ubuntu11.10 with xampp install. I have been trying to find the errors - no success.Maybe you have some pointers what is misconfigured here:

Content of my httpd-vhosts.conf:

    NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.some-domain.dev
    DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs/dev/some-domain.net/"
</VirtualHost>

Localhost works fine, www.some-domain.dev is not working. If I remove first VirtualHost block, http://localhost/ displays content from "/opt/lampp/htdocs/dev/some-domain.net/", but still www.some-domain.dev isnt working.

Error log displays this every 3 minutes:

# 'Main' server configuration

The "Server not found" error message you are seeing in your screenshot is normally associated with a DNS error rather than a vhost error. If you are running your own DNS then define an A or CNAME record for your www....dev host. If you don't have DNS then you can put a suitable entry in your /etc/hosts file e.g.

127.0.0.1    localhost   www....dev

or

192.168.1.100    www....dev
