Hosts file changes not showing their effect. I need to add a domain name alias to my localhost address so that when I type "myfictiousdomainname.com" it should request localhost:8084
address on my computer. But I made all attempts to make the hosts file work but it doesn't.
Now I need the kind of thing like I use Fiddler2 in Windows7/8 to set this domain name alias. Is there anything alike for ubuntu 12.04 or how could i otherwise setup this domain alias for a localhost address?
