URL stay on Missing entry in hosts file

[stephane-r]

Hi Cytopia :)

I would like test your very nice devilbox, but when i edit my hosts file, URL stay with Missing entry in /etc/hosts. My hosts file :

127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.1.1   ubuntu
::1             localhost

# 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

127.0.0.1 www.project.lan.loc

But, if i go on www.project.lan.loc, vhost work fine. It's juste the URL status.

Do you have any idea ? Yet I have followed the instructions :)

Thank you !

Hi @Leg3ndz can u post the exact error message from the intranet.
It should actually provide you the exact string that you need to put into /etc/hosts.

Also please attach your .env as well as an ls -l on your www directory, so I can see the names of the folders.

By your above entry, your foldername should be www.project.lan

[stephane-r]

Thank for your response.

I did not necessarily error, juste the URL status (on vhost page) have Missing entry in /etc/hosts.

My .env :

I've restart my Ubuntu, and if i run docker-composer up, I do not have any project to detect in www/ folder.

Result command ls -l in ~/data/www

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 oct.  26 01:26 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 oct.  26 01:22 ../
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 oct.  26 01:27 www.project.lan/

Thank again,

[cytopia]

Could you please attach a screenshot of the vhosts status page.

Also inside the devilbox folder, please check ./log/php-fpm-5.6/ and ./log/apache-2.4 for errors.

[cytopia]

Btw

Result command ls -l in ~/data/www

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 oct.  26 01:26 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 oct.  26 01:22 ../
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 oct.  26 01:27 www.project.lan/

Is that correct, that it belongs to root in your ~ directory?

[stephane-r]

Yep, the config is good. (project.lan is replaced on my screenshot)

Edit : i need to run docker-compose rm -f for restart all container. So, here's what you asked :

I've access to my project vhost (babyswissmilk.lan.loc), just the status displayed is wrong on vhost page.

[cytopia]

Are you running the devilbox in VMWare and edited /etc/hosts on your host computer?

[stephane-r]

I'm run Ubuntu with VMWare on Windows, and i edit Ubuntu hosts file.

[cytopia]

Are you browsing from your ubuntu VM or from windows?

[stephane-r]

All action in on my Ubuntu started on VMWare.

[cytopia]

Ubuntu seems to use 127.0.1.1 instead of 127.0.0.1.
What does ifconfig on ubuntu show?

[cytopia]

Btw, regardless of this error, Is it actually possible to reach this site via the browser?

[cytopia]

Should work now.

I had to disable the /etc/hosts check for now.
It somehow works under OSX, but not on Linux.

I still have to figure out why and how to re-implement this properly.

If it works for you, please let me know, so this can get closed.

[stephane-r]

Hi @cytopia

I confirm it work :)
Just, maybe add a message indicating that it must update hosts file ?

Thank you again for your support. Very nice devilbox :)

[cytopia]

Cool. Yes I will figure something out to make it as nice as before under Linux.
