Plesk 11 preview site with hosts file

FloPes

New Pleskian
I want to preview my website by manipulating the hosts file, linking to the server's URL but it's not working - My browser always tells me "the connection has been reset during page load".

I edited my hosts file like many tutorials out there suggest and I checked (wireshark) that the browser connects to the correct IP (that of my server).

I added the IP I can view under the Tab "Websites & Domains". The domain matches exactly that I entered in Plesk. But I added a www.-Version anyway to the hosts file, but it still aborts the connection.

What am I doing wrong?
