I have Ubuntu 11.10 running on VirtualBox and I've set up a virtual named server.
I'm able to access this site from Windows 7, but I'm not able to access the site from Ubuntu.
My HOSTS file is located in /etc/
folder and looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 ubuntu-VirtualBox
192.168.0.97 mysite.com
But whenever I try to access mysite.com from the server, I get redirected to a site saying that this domain is for sale.
What could be the cause of the hosts file not working?
Update
This is my /etc/nsswitch.conf
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.
