localhost redirectine to "www.localhost.com"

[danthewebguy]

php5, mySQL, apache 2.0.55 -

when I type "http://localhost/somename" in the status bar I can see it redirecting to "http://www.localhost.com/somename". Why is that? 😕

Seems that it's searching for "localhost", not finding it, then searching for "www.localhost.com" and seeing if it can find it. Is the Apache Service running on Port 80 for IP 127.0.0.1? Double check that Apache is running...

also... if your running on linux, make sure you have the line...

127.0.0.1 localhost

in your /etc/hosts file.

apache is indeed running . . . . port 80 in my host file too.
