Apache httpd 虚拟主机无法访问

Question

I am a newbie to linux, I was able to setup my LAMP server on Manjaro. Was getting the hang of everything but now having problems setting my virtual host. I am using httpd and commented out the "Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf" in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf . But couldn't visit the host after editing the httpd-vhosts.conf . After searching through the web for solution, the latest I got was,

# Virtual Hosts
#
# Required modules: mod_log_config

# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at 
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80> 
    ServerAdmin dummy@gmail.com 
    DocumentRoot "/srv/http/sami" 
    ServerName dummy.local 
    ErrorLog "/srv/http/sami/dummy-host.example.com-error_log" 
    CustomLog "/srv/http/sami/dummy-host.example.com-access_log" common 
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80> 
    ServerAdmin dummy@gmail.com 
    DocumentRoot "/srv/http" 
    ServerName localhost 
    ErrorLog "/srv/http/error-log" 
    CustomLog "/srv/http/access-log" common 
</VirtualHost>

But dummy.local doesn't load and says,

This site can't be reached
dummy.local's server IP address could not be found.

Thank you.

After troubleshooting some basics steps, I got around my problem by simply adding the ServerName of my virtual host to /etc/hosts as

127.0.0.1 dummy.local

That solved it for me. Hope this helps someone else as well. Have a good day.
