This domain is established to be used for illustrative examples in documents. You may use this domain in examples without prior coordination or asking for permission.

When I go to test.com - a website comes up for test.com

I can’t figure out why the html PAGES ON Apache2 will not show. I have created the HTML pages.

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Apache2 Server

Hi!

example.com and test.com should be replaced by the domain names that you actaully own and use. In the tutorial “How To Set Up Apache Virtual Hosts on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS,” everything highlighted in red is meant to be replaced.
