Virtual Host showing error 11001 even after chown and chmod

Posted February 25, 2015 2.1k views

I am trying to create a virtual host to just test a basic html website.

Guest OS - Ubuntu 14.04
Host OS - Ubuntu 14.10

In the Host OS, I connect through a proxy server which requires me to enter a user ID and password. I have a bridged network in the guest OS and I am able to connect to the internet in it.

So far I have done these steps.

1) Created the .conf file in /etc/apache2/sites-availableby doing this
sudo cp 000-default.conf tasdikr-1081310234.conf

Then I edited it by sudo gedit tasdikr-1081310234.conf to something like this

<VirtualHost *:80>

#---------- Changes made -------------------

ServerName www.tasdikr-1081310234.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@tasdikr-1081310234.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/tasdikr-1081310234
ServerAlias tasdikr-1081310234.com

#---------- Changes made -------------------

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

2) Made the directory through this

sudo mkdir /var/www/tasdikr-1081310234
sudo chown $USER:www-data /var/www/tasdikr-1081310234
sudo chmod g+s /var/www/tasdikr-1081310234
sudo gedit /var/www/tasdikr-1081310234/index.html

Inside index.html I did something like this

<html>
  Welcome to tasdikr-1081310234.com!
</html>

3) After that I changes thehosts file in /etc/hosts

and after changing it looked something like this

127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.1.1   tasdik

#---adding lines for my website---

127.0.0.2   www.tasdikr-1081310234.com  tasdikr-1081310234

#--------adding stuff done--------

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

4) After that I added my site by running

sudo a2ensite tasdikr-1081310234

And restarted apache 

sudo service apache2 restart

It gave me a message like this

* Restarting web server apache2 
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified
domain name,using         
127.0.1.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
                                                                            [ OK ]

5) I entered the url http://tasdikr-1081310234.com and

http://tasdikr-1081310234 but I keep getting the error Error Code 11004: Host not found

PS : I also tried changing the modes. So I tried

  • sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www
  • sudo chmod -R 754 /var/www
  • sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www

But it is still giving me the same error.

Any help guys? I have been banging my head on this for the past 2 days.

If your domain “tasdikr-1081310234.com” is not registered with a registrar and pointed to your server’s public IP address you will not be able to reach it by name regardless of what you configure on the server itself. If this is just for testing you can add a hosts file entry on your local computer pointing your name to your server’s IP. This will allow this computer to browse to the domain and test your configuration.

On Windows the hosts file is in:

C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc

On Linux and OS X it is located in:

/etc/hosts
