Problem set up VirtualHost

Question

I am trying to set up virtual hosts on my laptop (Ubuntu 19.10, Apache/2.4.41) for my convenience. I followed this tutorial, with a few modifications to folder paths but I get this error:

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at modipis.dev.

My configuration file (modipis.conf) is:

<VirtualHost *:80>
# Admin email, Server Name (domain name) and any aliases
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName  modipis.dev
ServerAlias www.modipis.dev
Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
DirectoryIndex index.php
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/modip/modipIS/public/
<Directory  /var/www/html/modip/modipIS/public/>
    Require all granted
    AllowOverride All
    Options Indexes
</Directory>
Custom log file locations
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /var/www/html/modip/modipIS/various/logs/modipIS.dev-error_log
CustomLog /var/www/html/modip/modipIS/various/logs/modipIS.dev-access_log combined
</VirtualHost>

and my /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       laptop
127.0.0.1       modipis.dev
The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

Any idea why this fails?

I also noticed the following:

when I type modipis.dev, the browser redirects to https://modipis.dev. Is this normal?
if I type 127.0.0.1 in the browser, it redirects to the modipis site.

Does this answer your question? Virtual Host not working as expected when I'm using .dev domain extension You should use a domain extension different from .dev. — pa4080, Jan 30 '20 at 09:33
