xampp and virtual hosts not working properly - xampp

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. :)

How to create virtual host in Xampp windows 10

I want to setup virtual host for my local project.
I added this code into C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conffile.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/bab/"
ServerName bab.local
<Directory "c:/xampp/htdocs/bab/">
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I added this code into C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hostsfile.
127.0.0.1 bab.local
please help.....
You need to correct your settings like below :- need to define {projectName}
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/bab/{projectName}"
ServerName bab.local
<Directory "c:/xampp/htdocs/bab/">
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Laravel 5.2 site on localhost/Wamp

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.

MAC OSX: Cannot run multiple local domains

i am trying to add another local domain to my mac osx:
No matter what i do when visiting say 'domainnumber2.dev' it always displays the first host in my list.
If i swop them around in my httpd-vhosts file then i get the domainnumber2.dev site.
How can i run multiple localhost site on my mac.
I have a simple set up as below:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mydomain.dev
ServerAlias mydomain.dev
DocumentRoot "/Users/UserName/Sites/mydomain/"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mydomainTwo.dev
ServerAlias mydomainTwo.dev
DocumentRoot "/Users/UserName/Sites/mydomainTwo/"
</VirtualHost>
I have also had the more details set up adding the below for both
<Directory "/Users/UserName/Sites/mydomain/">
DirectoryIndex index.php
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
In my hosts file i have:
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
127.0.0.1 mydomain.dev
127.0.0.1 mydomainTwo.dev
which ever VirtualHost is first is the site that is served up
I stumbled across this same problem...
In your httpd-vhosts.conf file (/private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf after showing hidden files) add the following for each domain...
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysubdomain.dev
CustomLog "/root/to/site/logs/mysubdomain.dev-access_log" combined
ErrorLog "/root/to/site/logs/mysubdomain.dev-error_log"
DocumentRoot "/root/to/site/mysubdomain.co.uk"
<Directory "/root/to/site/mysubdomain.co.uk">
DirectoryIndex index.php
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Then restart apache. Everything else you have seems to be the same as my setup.
Make sure you have the correct permissions to be able to write the log files etc too.

when I access localhost it shows directory listing for :"/Users/myname/Sites"
plz help me sort out this issue ,

DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs"
ServerAlias localhost
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

Wampserver can't get Named Virtual hosts to work

Using wampserver I can't get named virtual hosts to work. I've edited the httpd.conf to use the
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
I've added the domain to my system32/driver/etc/hosts file. I've edited the httpd-vhosts.conf file and everything seems to work except now localhost is unavailable. The domain I setup (test123.com) works fine, hitting 127.0.0.1 works fine, but hitting localhost hangs. There is nothing relevant in the error logs and no mention of it in the access logs. Here is how I have edited httpd-vhosts.conf:
#
# Virtual Hosts
#
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
# Tells Apache to serve the default WAMP Server page to "localhost"
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www"
<Directory "C:/wamp/www">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
DirectoryIndex index.php
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName test123.com
ServerAlias *.test123
# Folder where the files live
DocumentRoot "D:/Projects/html/test123"
# A few helpful settings...
<Directory "D:/Projects/html/test123">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
DirectoryIndex index.php
</VirtualHost>
What am I doing wrong?
Finally figured it out. In httpd.conf I had to change
Listen 80
to
Listen *:80
