@Michael Hampton, I can appreciate that, and agree that the example provided looks like some beginner dev or student messing around on their local pc due to the localhost address listed in the config, and the superuser or stackoverflow sites would of been a better place for that particular question. However my point is that real admins are asked to setup dev environments and those questions are not off topic IMO. My example is linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-virtualization-and-cloud-‌​90/… clearly for students to use but for an admin to setup

@Michael Hampton, as a system/network admin we are often requested to setup an environment that developers can work on. Therefor IMO the setup of a dev environment does fall under the scope of ServerFault. The actual using of the dev env is for stack overflow. Example instruction from management: setup a LAMP server for 3 websites and give ssh access to the dev team.

very good question, but that does not prevent them being in charge of some poor company's IT. The reason why is because they know more than the HR recruitment person, which still may not be much. I remember providing support to some poor sys admin guy in the middle of a disaster recovery problem to teach him how to burn an .iso file to disc properly.

The problem is that people asking questions often don't know what they are talking about, and they don't phrase their question very well. It takes someone who knows the answer to what they really mean to word the question properly. This site has the ability for people answering the question to propose changes to the question. Fixing badly worded but valid questions will lead to better content. PS. I've joined a bunch of stackexchange websites, including superuser.com
