I have been trying to use my xampp in localhost with https.
1/ The first step (certificate creation) seems okay. I generated a crt & a key using openssl. Using *.frenchpie.com as common name.
2/ I then copied those two respectively in /etc/ssl.crt/ & /etc/ssl.key/ folders.
3/ I did the following in httpd-vhosts.conf using what I found on stackoverflow
<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/frenchpie
ServerName local.frenchpie.com
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile "conf/ssl.crt/frenchpie.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "conf/ssl.key/frenchpie.key"
</VirtualHost>
4/ Of course I restarted xampp
Please note that I did not change anything else.
The website main folder is "frenchpie" in htdocs. Also 127.0.0.1 is mapped to local.frenchpie.com
Using http://local.frenchpie.com/frenchpie works as usual (homepage).
Using https://local.frenchpie.com/frenchpie gives me a certificate error (see picture).
Any help appreciated.
If you generate a certificate with OpenSSL, when you visit your page from anyone browser you will have a error message because you create your own certificate.
All browsers have some root certificates by default (Symantec, Comodo etc). When you visit a website with https, they check if your certificate is generate by anyone of their default root certificates. However you can add new root certificates to your browser.
If you want a public website you are going to need a trusty certificate, so you will need to buy one.

hi I have many sites that I want to test on local, so when I edit the files on auto virtual host files under Apache->sites-enabled->file name, after reloading laragon, the file resets to its original default contents, ex-
Original
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/laragon/www/cast.see.tech/public"
ServerName cast.see.tech.test
ServerAlias *.cast.see.tech.test
<Directory "C:/laragon/www/cast.see.tech/public">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.101:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/laragon/www/cast.see.tech/public"
ServerName cast.see.tech.test
ServerAlias *.cast.see.tech.test
<Directory "C:/laragon/www/cast.see.tech/public">
AllowOverride All
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
I cannot save any rules, any code, it comes back to its default original content once I restart laragon server. I am using windows 11, but the same problem I face on windows 10 also.
I tried uninstalling and installing back, but still no luck. Currently i am using latest version of laragon 5.0.0 210523, I also tried downgrading the version but still the same problem. Is it a windows issue or do I need to do something else. Please help me with this issue.
Each project has each own Virtual Host file located in:
For Apache:
{LARAGON_ROOT}\etc\apache2\sites-enabled\auto.{project}.test.conf
For Nginx:
{LARAGON_ROOT}\etc\nginx\sites-enabled\auto.{project}.test.conf
Content of a .conf file is auto generated. If you have a specific project which has modified content, just remove the auto. prefix from config file names eg : auto.example.test.conf => example.test.conf , Laragon will keep the content of the .conf file intact.
Virtual Host content is configurable, you can change it by modifying the template in:
{LARAGON_ROOT}\usr\tpl\VirtualHost.tpl
https://laragon.org/docs/pretty-urls.html
Laragon uses a template to auto-generate the virtual hosts.
On windows, the file is located at C:\laragon\usr\tpl\VirtualHost.tpl, assuming you installed it in C:\laragon.
Just edit this file and make the changes you want.
Keep in mind that all your sites will now use the same configurations.
One change I personally make is to remove the *. from ServerAlias, as I use subdomain format for my sites. Before I remove it, subdomain.example.com would always redirect to example.com.
I'm having troubles setting up a moodle instance behind an apache proxy.
Here's my apache front-end that proxies to the running server.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName public.domain.com
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://10.10.10.10:81/moodle/
ProxyPassReverse / http://10.10.10.10:81/moodle/
</VirtualHost>
AND.
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://public.domain.com';
I install without problems, but when finished the installation I try in browser:
http://public.domain.com
This redirect to: http://public.domain.com/moodle/index.php?sessionstarted=1&lang=en...
Does anyone know what might be happening?
The best way to fix this issue is to move the moodle installation on the internal host to the root of web server.
Move your moodle in 10.10.10.10 to be at / and not at /moodle
Note, that if you will use SSL on the external apache (it's suggested) you should also add to your config this line:
$CFG->sslproxy = true;
Finally I have been able to fix the problem, I am writing this answer with a bigger level of detail so other people having this problem can follow my answer.
First we need to edit the apache2 config for our site:
In general the apache2 configuration for your specified site can be found at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled. Depending if you are using http or https you need to edit the right configuration file. Default name for http is 000-default.conf and for https 000-default-ssl.conf
Add the following lines between the <VirtualHost *:80>....</VirtualHost> sections.
# MOODLE
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass "/" "http://10.10.10.10:81/moodle/"
ProxyPassReverse "/" "http://10.10.10.10:81/moodle/"
Then we need to restart our apache2 webserver, this can be done with the command service apache2 restart.
Now we also need to edit a few things in our moodle config.php file. This file can be found at /var/www/html/moodle on the server with the IP (in this case) 10.10.10.10 if you used the default install location from the moodle guides.
In the config.php file we append the following lines under the default $CFG declarations: Please make sure to change all values according to your server setup.
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://public.domain.com';
$CFG->dirroot = '/var/www/html/moodle';
$CFG->reverseproxy = true;
//$CFG->sslproxy = true; //UNCOMMENT this line if you are using SSL
Attention: If you are not using the root directory at your public webserver, then make sure that you do not use the same directory as moodle is using on the subserver. For example http://public.domain.com/moodle will fail if moodle is installed on the subserver at /var/html/moodle since both directories are equal and the proxy loops for some reason. My easy fix for this problem was do just move the moodle installation to /var/html/moodley including all required changes in the config.php. This fixes every problem I had.
I am currently trying to run the program after I have successfully created all the necessary CRUD files. Note that I am following this tutorial here.
However, I am facing problem in trying to run the sites from my cmd. I tried taskmanager.dev but Chrome returned 'This site can’t be reached'.
May I know, is the any specific ways for me to run the site on xampp?
I am using Windows.
Please help. Thank You.
I am quite sure the guy who made the tutorial is using valet.
Just use php artisan serve and you will be able to connect to your site on localhost.
But if you really want to use taskmanager.dev do the following:
Open the hosts file, which is lotcated # C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add 127.0.0.1 taskmanager.dev at the bottom
Make sure you follow their installation tutorial closely. It sounds like you may not have configured the server correctly.
For me, I have to edit my VHosts file which is in:
C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra
And to edit my hosts file I need to go to:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
If all else fails you can always just run php artisan serve in bash to launch your app.
But I would recommend going through these instructions again:
XAMPP Virtual Host
We need to configure XAMPP Virtual Host to set the document root to correct directory of laravel project and to also assign a name to the project by which we will be accessing it in browser.
Navigate and open file /Applications/XAMPP/etc/httpd.conf file and uncomment the line that includes the virtual host file.
# Virtual hosts
Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Navigate and open file /Applications/XAMPP/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf and include following Virtual host entry in this file.
# VirtualHost for TASKMANAGER.DEV
<VirtualHost taskmanager.dev:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\taskmanager\public"
ServerAdmin taskmanager.dev
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\taskmanager">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
With this entry our apache is listening to taskmanager.dev, but we also have to edit our hosts file to include an entry for the new domain.
Edit file /etc/hosts and add following entry to that file.
127.0.0.1 taskmanager.dev
Restart your apache and access taskmanager.dev on your browser you should be able to see this screen.
Chrome 63 now enforces .dev domains via HTTPS. Follow this article : https://laravel-news.com/chrome-63-now-forces-dev-domains-https to know more.
I've changed to .test for my valet domains. Hope this helps. Thank you.
So i have stuck on this thing since last week . i am new to web development , and wanted to learn php , as soon as i started i had to setup apache server , for root directory it works fine but for localhost/~username/ it can't connect to server "localhost".
here are the files i had been messing up
(sudo apachectl configtest : Syntax OK )
httpd-userdir.conf file
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3zmuc2jetpo3i0i/httpd-userdir.conf?dl=0

If this is still relevant and you are fed up with trying to find a solution you can change Documents root folder to your user Sites folder. This will prevent everyone but you from accessing localhost from your machine, but it's a hotfix solution. I've had a deadline and I had to finish the site, so this worked for me.
Go to httpd.conf change
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">
to
DocumentRoot "/Users/username/Sites"
<Directory "/Users/username/Sites">
To look up your username in the terminal use whoami.
NOTE: Bear in mind you also need to change the following lines in httpd.conf it's located just below DocumentRoot within <Directory> tag you changed earlier.
Whatever it says in your file modify to this (that should be true for ALL configurations of the Apache2)
Options FollowSymLinks Multiviews
MultiviewsMatch Any
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
This is a really bad solution since your Users/username/Sites folder will be accessed directly when you type localhost in the browser, but when something goes wrong, or you've done something wrong this is the best solution so far especially if you are 100% certain you are not going to have more than 1 user access your localhost directory.
i hope no one faces this problem. In my case i had updated php to php 7 but in httpd.conf it was trying to load php 5 so by commenting out that line my problem was solved.
I have downloaded the Apache HTTP server for windows and installed it. I have created a test html file under C:/mobileTraining/core/workspace/TestProject
I then added a permissions directory tag in the httpd.conf file, so that it now looks like the following:
<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all denied
</Directory>
<Directory C:/mobileTraining/core/workspace>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /TestProject C:/mobileTraining/core/workspace/TestProject
I've tried this with and without the first Directory tag, which was there already.
When I then save these changes and go to http://localhost/TestProject/TestPage.html in my browser (I've tried Firefox and Chrome), I get a connection error. This is from Chrome:
This webpage is not available
Google Chrome's connection attempt to localhost was rejected. The website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured.
Error code: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Is there something blindingly obvious in my set-up that I've missed?
Thanks
Try to access your site by including the port the default setup for this is 8080
http://localhost:8080/TestProject/TestPage.html
First, make sure you are able to access http://localhost/
Also, i suppose you have TestPage.html in C:/mobileTraining/core/workspace/TestProject
You are setting permissions for C:/mobileTraining/core/workspace ?
As mentioned in Example here . Try below.
Alias /TestProject "C:/mobileTraining/core/workspace/TestProject"
<Directory "C:/mobileTraining/core/workspace/TestProject">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Good Luck!
