title: View Multiple localhost Dev website projects from VM Virtual Box to test IE compatibility
body: <p>I'm running Fedora 14 and I have various web-development projects in my localHost.</p>
  
  <p>I have installed VM VirtualBox and installed windowsXP to test Internet Explorer compatibility issues of my projects.</p>
  
  <p>I can access the 1st localhost website project by typing the IP address of my laptop on the VirtualBox IE8 but I don't know how to access the other projects under Fedora localhost.</p>
  
  <p>I looked on the internet but I find it confusing and I keep getting stuck.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I have:</p>
  
  <p><strong>1 -> sudo gedit /etc/hosts</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain   localhost.localdomain   localhost   localhost4  www.smile   www.intranet    www.etrack  manosLocal  www.box 
  ::1 localhost.localdomain   localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6  localhost   manosLocal
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>2 -> sudo gedit /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.conf</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
       ServerAdmin root@localhost     
       ServerName www.smile
       ServerAlias www.smile
       DocumentRoot /repos/smile/trunk
       ErrorLog /srv/www/logs/smile_error.log 
       CustomLog /srv/www/logs/smile_access.log combined &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
       ServerAdmin root@localhost          
       ServerName www.intranet
       ServerAlias www.intranet
       DocumentRoot /repos/intranet/trunk
       ErrorLog /srv/www/logs/intranet_error.log       
       CustomLog /srv/www/logs/intranet_access.log combined &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
       ServerAdmin root@localhost     
       ServerName www.etrack
       ServerAlias www.etrack
       DocumentRoot /repos/etrack/trunk
       ErrorLog /srv/www/logs/etrack_error.log 
       CustomLog /srv/www/logs/etrack_access.log combined &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
       ServerAdmin root@localhost     
       ServerName www.box
       ServerAlias www.box
       DocumentRoot /repos/box/trunk
       ErrorLog /srv/www/logs/box_error.log 
       CustomLog /srv/www/logs/box_access.log combined &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My Laptop IP address is: 
  <strong>ifconfig</strong> -> <code>inet addr:192.168.1.57</code></p>
  
  <p>When I start my VirtualBox-WindowsXP and type this IP address in IE8 I can access the <code>www.smile</code> website of my Fedora LocalHost.
  If I change the order of the VirtualHosts and restart the HTTPD service then I can also access whichever Localhost I put first in the order.</p>
  
  <p>I want to be able to access all the VirtualHosts of my Fedora Localhost at the same time but I don't know how to do it.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be truly appreciated.
