WOW.... Ok I discovered something or several things I did not know.
Win 10 pro WSL / Ubuntu 16.04LTS LAMP configuration.
Had created several vhosts using the format site.dev.
Local host would work but not site.dev. Drove me crazy... spent a lot
of time trying to figure it out. Scoured the internet looking for what
was wrong. Nothing worked until I happened upon an article that said
.dev is a legitimate TLD owned my Microsoft.
The article suggested using site.localhost and by doing so the Windows
host file does not need to be updated. It worked. I assume this naming
convention will only work on the local machine.
I assume if one wants to reach sites on your local network, one might
use the naming convention site.local - I assume....
I am going to do more testing....

Prior to WSL2 and the latest Windows 10 developer mode, the WSL sent linux system calls to an emulator that the Windows NT kernel could understand. However with the advent of the latest Windows 10 updates and WSL2 (June 2019) Microsoft installs a full linux kernel with the WSL2 distribution you chose. I think the latest for Ubuntu now is 18.04 on the Microsoft Store. When launched for projects saved and running in the WSL Visual Studio Code now knows the project is a Linux project open with the Linux binaries enabled. You can see this when the bottom left screen lights up in the highlighted text color and indicates WSL.

I'm guessing the subsystem went to sleep and was not able to wake up..... 2) As I recall I configured a number of vhosts off of /var/www/html/ which worked well except PHP reported the Docroot was the same as the localhost for all three vhosts, even though they were configured with different Docroots. I wonder if there might be a Apache setting that will correct this?
