my virtual host setup looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "D:\xampp\htdocs"
<Directory "D:\xampp\htdocs">
DirectoryIndex index.php
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName mysite.site
DocumentRoot "D:\xampp\htdocs\mysite"
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory "D:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\public">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
and the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 mysite.site
but it actually doens't work. I have to go through localhost/mysite/public to make it work. Why? Instead of getting my site it loads my localhost default site which is xampp's htdocs folder.
EDIT:
Just wanted to add that I have Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf in httpd.conf already.
Ok, i finally got this. Looks like my port was incorrect. I checked what port is used in httpd.conf under ServerName localhost:80. Then I fixed my virtual host setup:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysite.site
DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/mysite/public"
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory "D:/xampp\htdocs/mysite/public/">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Now it works. :)
i've set my virtual hosts in xampp for laravel
httpd-vhosts.conf file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/shareitbaby.io/public"
ServerName www.shareitbaby.io
ServerAlias shareitbaby.io
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/shareitbaby.io/public">
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
and my host file:
127.0.0.1 shareitbaby.io
::1 shareitbaby.io
and when i type shareitbaby.io it's not working
I am trying to learn Laravel.
I created a project on c:/sites where I develop all my sites. I called it larabasic.dev
I cannot open the site in my browser, it keeps switching to www.larabasic.dev and tells me server not found.
I set up a virtual host like I did to all my other sites that works well.
I tried:
1. Changing server.php to index.php and copied the public/htaccess file to the root folder
2. Going to http://larabasic.dev/public
3. Going to http://larabasic.dev/public/index.php
4. Changing vhosts file to:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName larabasic.dev
ServerAlias larabasic.dev
DocumentRoot "c:/sites/larabasic.dev/public"
<directory "c:/sites/larabasic.dev/public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
</directory>
</VirtualHost>
Instead of:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName larabasic.dev
ServerAlias larabasic.dev
DocumentRoot "c:/sites/larabasic.dev"
<directory "c:/sites/larabasic.dev">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
</directory>
</VirtualHost>
My hosts file has these 2 entries:
127.0.0.1 larabasic.dev And
::1 larabasic.dev
Nothing helps. Again, any other sites I have developed with plain php work fine.
What am I missing?
Thank you
I've encountered the same problem and I've fixed this by giving 127.0.0.2 to my laravel application.
First, in the hosts file, you need to redirect larabasic.dev to 127.0.0.2:
127.0.0.2 larabasic.dev
Second, you need to bind the virtual host to that IP:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.2:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/sites/larabasic.dev/public"
ServerAdmin admin#localhost
ServerName larabasic.dev
ServerAlias www.larabasic.dev
<Directory "C:/sites/larabasic.dev/public">
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Require local
# if you want access from other pc's on your local network
#Require ip 192.168.1
# Only if you want the world to see your site
#Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
This is my working configuration on my local machine.
Help set up a virtual host. In the file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf I uncommented this line here:
# Virtual hosts
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Next, the file is opened, and in the end ordered a new virtual host:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents/"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot "/Users/igor/sites/advanced"
ServerName advanced
ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/lab.domain-error_log"
CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/lab.domain-access_log" common
<Directory "/Users/igor/sites/advanced/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Then added to the hosts 127.0.0.1 advanced. Restart Apache, but the browser displays a 403 error! What could it be?
I am getting an 403 access forbidden when attempting to open a page under a vhost where the document root is sitting on a different drive than where apache is sitting. I installed using the apachefriends release. This is my httpd-vhosts.conf file:
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName foo.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/foo/public"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName bar.localhost
DocumentRoot "F:/bar/public"
</VirtualHost>
When opening bar.localhost in my browser, Apache is giving me 403 Access Forbidden. I tried setting lots of different access rights, even full rights to everyone, but nothing I tried helped.
Edit: Thanks! For future reference, add 'Options indexes' within to show directory indexes.
You did not need
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
the only thing what you need is...
Require all granted
...inside the directory section.
See Apache 2.4 upgrading side:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html
Somewhere, you need to tell Apache that people are allowed to see contents of this directory.
<Directory "F:/bar/public">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
# Any other directory-specific stuff
</Directory>
More info
For Apache 2.4.2: I was getting 403: Forbidden continuously when I was trying to access WAMP on my Windows 7 desktop from my iPhone on WiFi. On one blog, I found the solution - add Require all granted after Allow all in the <Directory> section. So this is how my <Directory> section looks like inside <VirtualHost>
<Directory "C:/wamp/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
I have fixed it with removing below code from
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf file
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/docs/dummy-host.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host.example.com
ServerAlias www.dummy-host.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host2.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/docs/dummy-host2.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host2.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
And added
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
ErrorLog "logs/localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/localhost-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
And it has worked like charm
Solved 403: Forbidden when visiting localhost. Using ports 80,443,3308 (the later to handle conflict with MySQL Server installation)
Windows 10, XAMPP 7.4.1, Apache 2.4.x My web files are in a separate folder.
httpd.conf - look for these lines and set it up where you have your files, mine is web folder.
DocumentRoot "C:/web"
<Directory "C:/web">
Changed these 2 lines.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost.com
DocumentRoot "C:/web/project1"
ServerName project1.localhost
<Directory "C:/web/project1">
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
to this
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost.com
DocumentRoot "C:/web/project1"
ServerName project1.localhost
<Directory "C:/web/project1">
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Add your details in your hosts file
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 project1.localhost
Stop start XAMPP, and click Apache admin (or localhost) and the wonderful XAMPP dashboard now displays! And visit your project at project1.localhost
