My existing wampserver (3.2) virtual hosts work fine, but when I try to add a new one I have problems. Any help apprecaited.
I've added the new record to httpd-vhosts.conf:
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName newsite
DocumentRoot "c:/users/offic/onedrive - foldername/studio/domains/newsite"
<Directory "c:/users/offic/onedrive - foldername/studio/domains/newsite/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
and I've updated HOSTS (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) to:
127.0.0.1 newsite
::1 new
(All the sites that work follow the above style)
And I've restarted Windows and the DNS in Wampserver.
What actually happens when try to launch newsite in the browser is that it tries to download index.php rather than displaying it.
I've also tried adding the new virtual hosts via wamp > localhost > add a new local host. I haven't altered http.conf. As I say, other sites are working fine. Thanks.
So I removed the .htaccess file and things appear to work correctly. Another post said you have to use http://newsite/index.php but I get it fine with newsite/

I'm trying to publish a locally installed WordPress website - publically.
Had to reformat my laptop, so now running Windows 10 from my laptop at home.
I can already RDP to it from e.g. work PC, externally, etc.
I used to have Windows 8, WAMP installed and used to publish websites to my domain - www.site01.co.uk
site01.co.uk has been pointing to my fixed IP since I had Windows 8 and still is pointing. The fixed IP address hasn't changed.
I now opened up XAMPP httpd.conf and placed below "code" at the bottom:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\wp"
servername http://www.site01.co.uk
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\wp">
Allow from all
Require all granted
Options Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
This didn't work .
WordPress is installed in htdocs\wp folder.
You have a couple of problems with your Virtual Hosts definition. Virtual Hosts is definitely the way to go though.
When you create a Virtual Host Apache ignores the default definition of localhost in your httpd.conf file so its always a good idea to include a VH definition for that as the first VH defined, with access limited to Require local this helps stop drive-by ip address access attempts as the Require local will return an Access denied if you/they just use your WAN ip to try and see whats on your web server.
This should go in the \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf file. Remove all the example stuff from that file when you add this definition.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs"
ServerName localhost
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs">
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\wp"
ServerName site01.co.uk
ServerAlias www.site01.co.uk
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\wp">
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Apache 2.4 uses the Require parameter and not the Allow/Deny which was Apache 2.2 syntax.
You now edit the httpd.conf file and find the
# Virtual hosts
#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
and remove the # comment like so
# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Then make sure that the Port Forwarding on your router is forwarding port 80 to the correct ip address for your PC.
I am preparing to create my portfolio site and this is something I always thought. I find XAMPP default admin page useful in some ways to me, but as I am developing website, I can't access it any more.
I want to know is there a way to keep XAMPP default page as I am developing other websites.
I know I can setup virtual hosts for several websites, but is it same for XAMPP? I have done virtual host one time as work. At, first it didn't work(what was CakePHP app), but later I have managed to make it work.
UPDATE:
So I found out this post about Hosting multiple local sites with XAMPP and have edited my Virtual Host config file like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost/xampp
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp/"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/"
</VirtualHost>
My windows host file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost/xampp
For now, accessing both 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.1/xampp redirect me to XAMPP home page, which is in C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp/
When I access localhost, browser redirects me to index.php file(As 127.0.0.1 also should), which is for testing purposes in htdocs folder. However if I try to access localhost/xampp I get error in Chrome - "This webpage has a redirect loop".
I have no idea how to progress on from here.
I found out answer. THe issue was with my naming of xampp admin page domain, instead of using someting, which include localhost for xampp page, I had to use something else, as it will not conflict when using your own naming.
So my hosts file now:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 xampp-admin
And Apache Virtual Host file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName xampp-admin
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp/"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp/">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
This part(below) didn't change anything, I added, because I saw it in examples, but I still have no idea, what it's useful to:
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp/">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Still, maybe someone can suggest me more conventional name for Xampp admin page?
All you need to is place this at the top of your httpd-vhost.conf before other virtual host configurations.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/dashboard/"
ServerName xampp.admin
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/dashboard/">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Im trying to set up a virtual host using my local xampp stack but after following many tutorials i simply can't work out where im going wrong.
Here is what i added to my httpd-vhost.conf file:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot E:\Programs\xampp\htdocs
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot E:\Programs\xampp\htdocs\CVCMS
ServerName cvcms.dev
<Directory "E:\Programs\xampp\htdocs\CVCMS">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And here is my hosts file
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 lmlicenses.wip4.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 lm.licenses.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 cvcms.dev
I have restarted apache after every change, i have made sure http.conf is linked to the httpd-vhosts file.
The issue is when i type in the domain cvcms.dev it shows the xampp splash page instead of the index.php in my cvcms folder.
Any ideas why?
Thanks
please remember to add the quotes to your virtual host document root path. At the same time what you need to to do enable them is to find httpd.conf , in this version it should be in your etc folder within your XAMPP's root folder.
Look out for :
# Virtual hosts
#Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Since '#' is a comment prefix, you have to uncomment "#Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf"
See if this works. Remember to restart your XAMPP's apache server to read the new settings you've just set. Cheers !

I am trying to set up a virtualhost on my apple mac on localhost. The server is provided by XAMPP, which bundles Apache/MySQL/PHP in one bundle.
Here is what I have done so far:
Edited /private/etc/hosts to include 127.0.0.1 to point to test.myserver.local
127.0.0.1 test.myserver.local
Edited /Applications/XAMPP/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf to inlcude my vhosts details
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /Users/???/Documents/workspace/trunk/htdocs
ServerName test.myserver.local
<Directory "/Users/???/Documents/workspace/trunk/htdocs">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Placed a simple index.html in there with the word test in it.
I have restarted the server, and then browse to the test url to be greeted with Apache's default page instead of my test page.
The vhosts file works for another virtual host, the code is copied with the respective bits changed (i.e. folder paths), the hosts file works, as when Apache is turned off, my browser says server not found.
Why is Apache refusing to show up my test code? Are there any other files I need to change? I cant think of any others, its usually just those on linux/windows.
On xampp you need to edit 3 files to setup virtual hosts
the /etc/hosts and /Applications/XAMPP/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf as you did.
But also you need to edit /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf to include the http-vhosts.conf
make sure you have uncommented this line
# Virtual hosts
Include /Applications/XAMPP/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
EDIT
Have you tried to add this lines
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Just before the
AllowOverride All
Try leaving the the setting for "localhost" at the end of the file "httpd-vhosts.conf",
i.e.:
#
# Virtual Hosts
#
...
# others vhost
<VirtualHost *:80>
...
</VirtualHost>
# localhost
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs"
<Directory "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes execCGI
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
#end of httpd-vhosts.conf file
Worked for me, greetings!
Have you told Apache to actually use name-based virtual hosting?
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
I don't believe it's enabled by default in Xampp on Mac.
I am running XAMPP 1.7.3 on windows 7. My problem is that when I try to access my server (localhost) from another computer, the server does not respond. For example, [on my computer] when I type in 'http://localhost', my pages come up. However, when I try accessing 'http://192.168.0.102' from my computer, nothing happens. When I type in my external IP, nothing shows up, but when add HTTPS to the external IP, my Linksys WRT54GS config page shows up, asking for a password. I have already tried port forwarding and a local "static IP", and no luck, other than my local IP never changing. Can anyone help me?
Here's how I have my XAMPP installation configured. Maybe it will work for you.
Open C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
Add a VirtualHost block for each site you are running:
Apache config
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot C:/path/to/website/files
ServerName exampledomain.dev
<Directory "C:/path/to/website/files">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Add a line to your hosts
127.0.0.1 exampledomain.dev
On the connecting computer's host file:
192.168.0.102 exampledomain.dev
You can easily access your hosts file by using ctrl+r and running
notepad %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
