Two Laravel Apps interfering on virtual host (XAMPP) - laravel

I have 2 Laravel apps located in htdocs on XAMPP. Each of them have a virtual hosts setting like so:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/app1/public"
ServerName app1.test
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/app2/public"
ServerName app2.test
</VirtualHost>
with proper settings in etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 app1.test
127.0.0.1 app2.test
But for some reason the are interfering with each other, for example seems that .env values for the database are jumbled up, since database from app1 is referencing a table from database from app2 and this error appears:
Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'some_table' doesn't exist
Any help is appreciated.

I think you can use very friendly package called as Laragon rather than XAMPP.
In this package you can use multiple php versions with same database along with ssl. Also you can whatever you need with Laragon CMD.
Here is the link for Laragon setup

How setup Apache Virtual Host to Laravel on Ubuntu Server 20.04?

I have a server running Ubuntu 20.04 and Apache 2 that I use as a webserver. I made a configuration of a virtual host to point to a Laravel application, as you can see in the configuration file below.
<VirtualHost laravel-8.test>
DocumentRoot /var/www/laravel-8/public
ServerName laravel-8.test
<Directory "/var/www/laravel-8/public">
allow from all
Options None
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And everything works perfectly on the server, but when I try to access the address laravel-8.test from another machine on the network, it goes to the Apache page. I even added in the Ubuntu hosts file to inform the address.
127.0.0.1 laravel-8.test
And I did the same on the workstation (Windows 10 Pro), I added the line
192.168.0.112 laravel-8.test
What am I doing wrong? I have the necessary Apache modules for Laravel to work (rewrite)
change your v-host config to something like this...
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/laravel-8/public
ServerName laravel-8.test
<Directory "/var/www/laravel-8/public">
allow from all
Options None
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
If you want to connect from another PC, you need to write an external IP.

laravel virtual host setup not showing front-end

I have a new laptop, and am now trying to run a laravel application.
First, am trying to setup a virtual host for the project so that I can access blog.local
I went my hosts file and setup the drivers like the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 test.local
127.0.0.1 blog.local
The for the apache configuration I have the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\XAMPP\htdocs"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\XAMPP\htdocs\blog"
ServerName blog.local
</VirtualHost>
When I try to access my url I do not see the site but the files only:
For this and future projects, how can I create a local url and see the front-end when I visit it?
You need to address your public folder,
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\XAMPP\htdocs\blog\public"
ServerName blog.local
</VirtualHost>
The document root is a directory (a folder) that is stored on your host's servers and that is designated for holding web pages. When someone else looks at your website, this is the location they will be accessing.
Change the DocumentRoot to according to your PHP project is located.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/blog/public"
ServerName blog.local
</VirtualHost>
Restart the servers after making any changes! If you don’t reset the server to apply the changes, nothing will work even though you know you’ve done everything right.

Having trouble mapping Laravel public folder with a vhost on MAMP

I've got a Laravel project called "test" running on MAMP on my mac. I've uncommented the vhosts include line in httpd.conf and included this below in the vhosts file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/test/public"
ServerName testapp.dev
</VirtualHost>
When I go to "testapp.dev" in my browser it just says the old
testapp.dev’s server IP address could not be found.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
I'm not sure if I've missed something or what. Thanks in advance for your help! :)
(This is a repost but more clear)
So I ditched MAMP and used valet. I had some problems with that just going to localhost which was some random background apache server which I stopped and then everything worked! :)
if you are using windows edit C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and if you are using unix edit /etc/hosts file and add this row at the end of file:
127.0.0.1 testapp.dev

Cant use MAMP when laravel installed?

I have MAMP installed which is fine. One of the project is Laravel. My laravel project is placed like this:
MAMP/htdocs/LaraBlog/laravel
but then i just want a normal PHP project on my mamp server aswell. I have placed it like this:
MAMP/htdocs/notes
But when i go to
http://localhost:8888/notes it tries to find a laravel route? i havent a artisan serve running. What is wrong?
Then you probably have only created one host that points to..
MAMP/htdocs/LaraBlog/laravel/public
If you have MAMP Pro you can just create another host like larablog.dev that points to..
MAMP/htdocs/LaraBlog/laravel/public
and for "normal" PHP work you can use localhost.
If you do not have MAMP Pro open that file..
MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
At the end of that file you can do something like that..
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/LaraBlog/laravel/public"
ServerName larablog.dev
</VirtualHost>
Then you need to update your hosts file.
Open you Terminal and run this command..
sudo nano /etc/hosts
and put this at the end..
127.0.0.1 larablog.dev
Now restart MAMP and you can access larablog.dev for your Laravel application and localhost for the other things.

Serving several host/domain names on local machine

I have a local PHP server on a Windows machine and the trouble I am having is that within the main root 127.0.0.1/localhost I would like to have several folders/sites that I can call on.
At present I can do localhost/siteA or localhost/siteB with no problem, but what I would like to do is to assign these locations test domain names:
EG: localhost/siteA would be sitea.dev, localhost/siteB would be siteb.dev
Not a problem as I have set up one on the host file and vhost config files.
mysites.dev which is linked to the root/localhost. So I can use it as above
mysites.dev/siteA and mysites.dev/siteB
But I would like to give each of these sites its own vhost name as mentioned above. So I have added the following:
Hosts File
127.0.0.1 mysites.dev
127.0.0.1 sitea.dev
vhost file
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\Websites\"
ServerName mysites.dev
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\Websites\sitea\"
ServerName sitea.dev
</VirtualHost>
The trouble is that whichever one I call they all seem to simply load the first one, or at least it seems like that, but without the vhost details they all still go to the root so it looks like the host file is directing them to 127.0.0.1 and that it the vhost file seems to be ignored.
SO what am I missing in order to hook up mty individual local sites?
SOLVED: See my answer will mark it as the correct one when i can in a few days.
Your vhosts are both trying to catch anything that comes in on port 80: <VirtualHost *:80>.
You need to specify the vhost name to point to a particular folder:
<VirtualHost sitea.dev:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\Websites\sitea\"
ServerName sitea.dev
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost siteb.dev:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\Websites\siteb\"
ServerName sitea.dev
</VirtualHost>
You can find more info on this in the Apache docs: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html
Well i do feel stupid. After a long look i then noticed that in the config file it was not calling in the vhost file as i placed them in the main httpd.conf and it worked.
So i had to uncomment the following within the httpd.conf file:
# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
