Apache Virtual host not working
Andrew Henderson 
I followed this tutorial to set up Apache virtual host, but browser is unable to serve the homepage.
Here is my .conf file
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin ServerName ednet.dev ServerAlias DocumentRoot /var/www/html/ednet/public ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>my host file
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 asad-HP-ProBook-4530s
127.0.0.1 ednet.dev
# 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-allroutersbut when i try to open ednet.dev in browser it gives error
This site can’t be reached
ednet.dev refused to connect.
Try:

At first, be sure that your /etc/apache2/ports.conf contain line Listen 80
At second, be sure that you have enabled your config using sudo a2ensite yoursite.name.
At third, be sure that you have disabled default virtualhost sudo a2dissite 000-default
Also add options for your documentroot directory, for example:
<Directory /var/www/html/ednet/public/ > Require all granted AllowOverride All Options Indexes
</Directory>Then, restart apache using sudo service apache2 restart and try to get access to virtualhost using the browser.

tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN Apache obviously only listens on IPv6 for some reason.
Change /etc/hosts to IPv6:
127.0.0.1 ednet.devto
::1 ednet.devThis will enable you to use IPv6 for reaching the name.
You apache is obviously listening to IPv6, to test it you can do:
wget -O /dev/nulland you will get 200 Ok as response
to make apache listen to only IPv4 addresses you add:
Listen 0.0.0.0:80 Listen 192.0.2.1:80source:
3I don't know what was the problem but after uninstalling whole LAMP stack and reinstalling it again solve the problem.
