Using host file

Question

I created an application in SharePoint, lets call it http://example.com/ and a site collection with the "Empty Site" template.

Since I'm using it locally in a virtual machine in host-only mode, I had to edit my host file to add

127.0.0.1    example.com

Now, whenever I access this website, I cannot click on "Site Action". All it does is add a # at the end of the URL.

Since I'm in a host-only VM, i cannot change the DNS to make it work (that's the way we fixed it for a dev server).

Sorry for the DNS tag, I didn't found anything else and cannot create new ones (like host-file)

Javascript might be disabled

Try adding example.com to your trusted sites in IE to allow javascript to run on pages within example.com
