I am having "weird" problems with MAMP (3.5.2)/Apache on Mac OS (El Capitan 10.11.5) when running it on Port 80.
Apache gets started and the WebStart page is displayed properly. However, it does not seem to find the DocumentRoot and when connecting to "localhost" it displays the Not Found message ("The requested URL / was not found on this server.").
If I change the port number to any other number X (I tried with 82, 8080, 8123 and of course 8888) then "localhost:X" correctly find the index.html of my DocumentRoot.
I checked with lsof if there is anything else interfering on the port but it does not seem to be the case. I also checked here on stackoverflow but did not find anyone with similar problems.
I am used to web programming but less familiar with web servers quirks.
I would be truly grateful for any clue on what's happening.
(It is not mandatory that I set the port to 80, although I would very much prefer to avoid having the port number in the URL. However, I just hate things I do not understand).
I had the exact same problem and as I couldn't find any solution I created myself a workaround by adding a virtual host named localhost inside MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "YOUR_ROOT_FOLDER"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

I have installed Magento in my personal laptop with XAMP (windows 10) all looks good. Followed the same steps on another laptop and not able to get Magento running.
Found that port 80 is occupied in the new laptop and configured xamp with port 8090, Apache, Phymyadmin and all works good. Following is my configuration for virtual hosts file
<VirtualHost *:8090>
DocumentRoot "C:/M/xampp8.1/htdocs/magento2/pub"
ServerName kumar.magento245.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8090>
DocumentRoot "C:/M/xampp8.1/htdocs"
ServerName localhost:8090
</VirtualHost>
Following in windows hosts file
127.0.0.1:8090 kumar.magento245.com
XAMP Apache running on port 8090
when i enter kumar.magento245.com gives 404 error
I assure you the rest of the installation is in sync with my earlier laptop (that dont have any service running on port 80 and i dint changed the hosts file)
Kindly please advise what to be done..
Not planning to change/edit the service running on port 80 .
when i enter kumar.magento245.com gives 404 error.. it should got my local magento running ( installed at C:/M/xampp8.1/htdocs/magento2/pub )
I followed a response in the following thread #Raz0rwire and solved my issue.
Set up virtual hosts on Apache (XAMPP, Windows 10)
accessed the url like this kumar.magento245.com:8090 port number at the end..
Welcome to SO #kumar2023,
There could be multiple possibilities for resolving this issue,
in this case, I would prefer the below steps :
Try running Magento with the direct browser URL ie. https://yourmagnetopath/pub and ensure at least my Magento has been installed
correctly
Try removing the default ports and their entries, in my case well I am using ubuntu hence there could be a case of caching if you tried multiple times with the same URL.
Try with the incognito browser or I would prefer a new browser where you haven't tried to run this URL.
Just give a try with the newer domain (again there could be a reason for caching)
I can already tell that I'm probably doing something hideously wrong, but I just can't get anything to work or even acknowledge me.
I have a working Joomla 1.5 site on a localhost setup on a lamp stack with Ubuntu (newest everything). I am working on upgrading the site to a newer version. I've followed the steps on the joomla site, which are simple, just extract the zip file on the server, just like I did for 1.5, and then go to the site. I am doing this in a subdirectory I've called upgrade, physically located at /var/www/upgrade/ and when i try to go to localhost/upgrade, I get a "FORBIDDEN" 403. I tried localhost/upgrade/administrator, localhost/index.php, localhost/administrator/index.php, and even localhost/installation/index.php and nothing works.
I went into the installation/ dir and made and saved the configuration.php and .htaccess in upgrade/ to no avail and as a last resort I even did a chmod -R 777 * (yeah I know), restarted apache but nothing changes.
Just to see if it was the install, I dl'd Joomla 3.2 and got the exact same result. All the while my 1.5 site is still happily working.
What am I doing wrong?
You want to setup a Virtual host for the new site. You can do this with either a port or a host.
So if you have your Apache conf setup correctly you can add another Virtual host with something along the lines of.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/upgrade
ServerName upgrade.local
</VirtualHost>
You'll also need to add a hosts entry which points to your localhost/IP. Its worth checking out a good guide on setting all this up as theres quite a few steps. The Ubuntu one is pretty good if your on that Distro.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
Specifically the bit on Virtual Hosts
ServerName means that the server will listen for hosts with that name. So, if you have a host such as upgrade.local pointing to your server then the VirtualHost entry will pick that up and point it to the directory /var/www/upgrade.
In order to point a local host to your server you need to add it to your machines hosts file. To add a new host like upgrade.local (you can call it whatever you want) you edit /etc/hosts and set the IP it points to.
127.0.0.1 upgrade.local
ServerName is not mandatory but I find it better as its easier to organise your local host sites.
The alternative is to do it by port (which means you can avoid having to change the hosts file). You need to listen for the port in this case.
Listen 3000
<VirtualHost *:3000>
DocumentRoot /var/www/upgrade
</VirtualHost>
I want to create VirtualHosts on Mac OS 10.7 and therefore I edited the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. I uncommented the line "Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf" to include the virtual hosts. In the file /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf I wrote the following:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/someFolder"
ServerName myApplication.dev
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/someOhterFolder"
ServerName myApplication2.dev
</VirtualHost>
There were two example virtual hosts before which I deleted. In my /etc/hosts file I added the following:
127.0.0.1 myApplication.dev
127.0.0.1 myApplication2.dev
I restarted my Apache and typed myApplication.dev and myApplication2.dev in the browser but I get an error "server not found" and it makes www.myApplication.dev in the browser (the same for myApplication2.dev).
Did I forget something to configure? I activated PHP in httpd.conf, mysql is installed also, but that has nothing to do with virtual hosts, I think.
Thanks for your help!
apachectl has an option -S to check vhost.conf file syntax. You can find these lines in vhosts.conf file.
> # You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
> # configuration.
So, when you run
sh-3.2# apachectl -S
if you get Syntax OK result it means that there is no problem in your vhosts.conf file.
httpd: VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
*:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server zz.xxxx.com (/private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:27)
port 80 namevhost zz.xxxx.com (/private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:27)
port 80 namevhost yy.xxxx.com (/private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:35)
Syntax OK
If conf file has any problem it will tell you error line(s) like
sh-3.2# apachectl -S
Syntax error on line 33 of /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:
CustomLog takes two or three arguments, a file name, a custom log format string or format name, and an optional "env=" clause (see docs)
make sure that your vhosts.conf file has true configuration.
I had the exact same problem using OS X Lion. I fixed it by adding "::1 myhost.dev" to /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 myhost.dev
::1 myhost.dev
Incidentally, the ::1 also fixes a bug that makes page loading very slow on virtual hosts served from the Mac.
Are you using an HTTP proxy? If so, make an exception for myApplication.dev and myApplication2.dev.
What I meant was that the problem "server mot found" means that your browser cannot find the ip adresses of the hosts "myapplication.dev". This may be because you're using an http proxy, possibly one configured by your hosting company. In any case, you don't even reach the server, so you never get to try the virtual host configuration at all.
To just try the virtual host configuration, you can use telnet in a Terminal window and talk HTTP directly to the server, like this:
yourmacbox:~ yourname$ telnet 127.0.0.1 80
You should see the following text:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Then you type
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: myApplication.dev
Now, hopefully you should see some response from your web server. This shows that once you can connect to it, the virtual hosts things works.
I had the same problem, and noticed that the ServerRoot "/usr" was set as shown and incorrectly after the 10.7 upgrade. The httpd.conf file was still under /etc/apache2, but this setting in it was pointing to the wrong place. Once I had fixed that by changing to ServerRoot "/etc/apache2", all my previous virtual host configuration got picked up properly.
I also had to re-enable virtual hosts by uncommenting line 477 as mentioned here http://brettterpstra.com/fixing-virtual-hosts-and-web-sharing-in-mountain-lion/ That didn't quite kick in until I had fixed the path issue above.
After upgrading my MacBook Pro to Mac OS X Lion I am not able anymore to get my 'Zend Server' running like before. At first the 'Zend Server' gave me servile errors by starting it from the command line. I fix this by doing a complete new installation of Zend Server.
After this new installation Zend Server runs fine and no problems at all. So now I want to put back my zend projects. I made a backup of my vhost file and put it back, it seems to be Lion didn't touch my host file so I didn't touch either (just checked). I did the follow things;
Put one of my vhosts back in conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf (just one to check).
Uncomment the vhost include in conf/httpd.conf
Checked my host file
Restart zend server from command line
After this I still cant reach the project by browsing to http://foo.localhost:10088/
Vhosts
<VirtualHost *:10088>
ServerAdmin my#email.com
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
DocumentRoot "/Users/nicky/Zend/workspaces/DefaultWorkspace7/foo/public"
ServerName foo.localhost
ErrorLog "/Users/nicky/Zend/workspaces/foo-log"
CustomLog "/Users/nicky/Zend/workspaces/foo-log" common
</VirtualHost>
Hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 dummy-host.example.com
127.0.0.1 dummy-host2.example.com
127.0.0.1 foo.localhost
I am not sure if this can have effect on the problem, but by restarting zend from the
command line, i get the follow:
MacBook-Pro-van-Nicky-Klaasse:~ nickyklaasse$ sudo /usr/local/zend/bin/zendctl.sh
restarthttpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name,
using MacBook-Pro-van-Nicky-Klaasse.local for ServerName

I've had similar problems as well with that. I've been searching around for an answer, found some solutions but none of them seemed to work.
The only thing that finally made it working (not even sure how it actually helped), is going into system preferences -> sharing and enabling web sharing. That is normally starting your apache2 server but I wasn't using the default one, I am running another apache2 process with a different httpd configuration. Anyway, after starting it and stopping it (from the system preferences window), it seemed like it was working.
One thing that could be useful is checking your error_log as well as the access_log in /var/log/apache2/. Check the access_log to see what is the address trying to be resolved. At first, whenever I was making a request on my website through the Virtual Host, in my access log I only had 127.0.0.1 which is incorrect. After it worked, I can see that the requests are www.example.com and not the localhost, showing that the virtual host is indeed working.
Not sure if that will help you, give it a try, paste the access_log and error_log latest lines to see where there could be a problem.
I have an issue on my windows 7, I want to work on php so i tried everything but can not get it done. It always gives
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at nazar-studio:8080.
These are the things i had tried:
Installed WAMP
Installed XAMPP
Installed Apache
Installed IIS
stoped the http service
blocked anti-virus
un-installed anti-virus
stoped skype
Also tried this link
and there are many other things i had done, but invain.
When i check the port using netstat -an it shows the ports listening, i tried many different ports, but nothing works.
Can any one help me, I am really struck and frustrated due to it.
Have you tried connecting to localhost rather than 'nazar-studio'?
Are you sure its running on port 8080?
Is there possibly another process running on port 8080?
Have you checked the error logs? (in #apache install dir#/logs/)
To get Apache running on Windows 7 I did the following.
Switch to Administrator:
Open a command prompt as Admin, type net user Administrator /active:yes and then log off. At the log on screen you will see two options, log in as Administrator.
Install Apache.
Edit conf file to how you want.
Make sure you have set Listen to 8080 (I have mine left as 80).
Don't forget to LoadModule for PHP. Set the ServerName to localhost:8080 (again I have mine as 80).
Set DocumentRoot to the htdocs folder where you installed Apache - mine is C:\Program Files\Apache\2.0.40\htdocs. By connecting to localhost:80 you should be able to see the Apache welcome screen.
Add type info for PHP (AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3).
Create a virtual host. I am guessing yours would look like
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName nazar-studio.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/Develop/nazar/htdocs"
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
ErrorLog logs/error.nazar.log
CustomLog logs/access.nazar.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Now Edit your hosts file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and add the subnets you have added:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 nazar-studio.localhost
127.0.0.1 test.localhost
Open the command prompt and now type net user Administrator /active:no to disable the admin. Log off and reconnect as you.
Start Apache and you should be able to connect.
