Windows Subsystem for Linux && Visual Studio Code

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

I've been trying to locate a command that will tell me which version of
the WSL I am running.  The best answer I read was the WSL is tied to the
Windows updates.... which I get regularly.   

I have a vhost in /etc/apache2/sites-available/myframework.dev.conf with
the following excerpt 

... 

DocumentRoot /var/www/html/myframework.dev/public_html
ServerName www.myframework.dev 

... 

I enabled myframework.dev.conf and restarted apache... 

I edited /etc/hosts and added the following 2 lines :  

127.0.0.1       www.myframework.dev [2] 

127.0.0.1       myframework.dev [2] 

When I enter the url www.myframework.dev [2] into my browser, I get a
message: 

THIS SITE CAN’T BE REACHED

I set the file permissions : chmod 755 -R html/ and ownership : chown -R
myuser:myuser html  

I'm sure it much be something simple....   

Note : If I go to localhost in the browser I see a page located at
/var/www/html/index.php 

Any help is much appreciated.

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?
