I've set up Magento on a local XAMPP installation and started developing a theme. Everything works OK on Firefox, the browser I usually use for development. However, on all other browsers, all I get when accesing the page is a 404 Error "Page not found" shown using Magento's default theme.
I should mention that I am not accessing it using the "http://localhost/sitename" address. I have created a virtual host so that I access the site by going directly to "www.sitename.com", even though it's hosted locally (i did this so that I can configure Magento using the destination URL)
Any help would be appreciated, I really don't understand why this would behave differently on other browsers.
