RE: Cannot change Apache2 ServerName/ServerAlias
Yes, ServerName and ServerAlias are on separate lines in the config file as well as everything you've mentioned below (including the /etc/hosts).
The error the browser is giving me is:
Cannot find page (or something similar) with IE (on the off chance that it was a browser problem)
and
Using Firefox 1.5.0.1: Google telling me that "Your search - newpagename - did not match any documents"

Did you restart apache2?

No, they should be on the same line. I.e if you have
ServerName server
ServerAlias newpagename
in your virtual host, then you also have
123.45.678.901 hostname.domainname server newpagename
in your /etc/hosts file.
What is the actual error you get when you try to browse the site with
the alias?
