Managed to access the website by adding *Listen 1025* to the Apache config file, and adding an entry to the hosts file. Have used a different port for the website (in its VirtualHost entry). Port 80 is already taken by the default website.
Using a different IP address only works for a website if it is accessed remotely, not locally (on the same PC).
