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 have been trying to configure Laravel but it seems to have some kind of error: "IP address could not be found."
This is my configuration in my httpd-vhost.conf
Configuration on httpd-vhost
and this is what I put in my host
enter image description here
I tried restarting and checking my syntax through httpd.exe -t in apache but it seems okay
You can try this.
In your httpd-vhost.conf file write this, If you want virtual host of reviewer then try this,
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName reviewer.test
ServerAlias reviewer.test
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/reviewer/public"
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/reviewer/public">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And in your hosts file write this,
127.0.0.1 reviewer.test
Then restart your all xampp server services.
Problem in your files
You haven't removed the comment ( # this symbol represents that it is comment.)
This is your file configuration.
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# 127.0.0.1 reviewer.dev
You have to remove # this symbol, and replace dev with test . Get more knowledge from this link.
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 reviewer.test
I hope this stuff will help you.
I am new to Mac but used Ubuntu for development for a long time. I know how to create virtual hosts in Ubuntu but have no idea about Mac. I have created a hosts entry like below :
##
# 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 mysite.loc
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
But what to do next?
While googling, I found these steps to easily create virtual hosts on MAMP:
Open your console in mac and edit your hosts file like this
sudo vim /etc/hosts
This opens a system file that contains the following line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
add your desired host name after local host:
127.0.0.1 localhost mysite.loc
press ESC, then :wq! to overwrite and close the file.
Now go to your MAMP directory and open apache config file located at /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf in any text editor and locate the following lines:
# Virtual Hosts
# Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Remove the hash (pound) sign from the beginning of the line that begins with Include
# Virtual Hosts
Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Save the file, and then open Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf. This is where you define the virtual hosts.
At the bottom of the page are two examples of how to define virtual hosts in Apache. They look like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/Library/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 "/Applications/MAMP/Library/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>
Edit both examples. Virtual hosts override the existing localhost, so the first one needs to re-establish localhost. Edit the second one for the virtual host you want to add. Only the DocumentRoot and ServerName directives are required. To add a virtual host for mysite, the edited definitions should look like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/username/Sites/mysite"
ServerName mysite.loc
</VirtualHost>
This assumes that you want to locate the files for mysite in your Sites folder. Replace "username" in the second definition with your own Mac username. If you want to store the files in a different location, adjust the value of DocumentRoot accordingly.
If you want to create more than one virtual host, copy one of the definitions, and edit it accordingly.
Save all the files you have edited, and restart the servers in the MAMP control panel. You should now be able to access the virtual host with the following URL: http://mysite.loc/.
Enjoy..!!
Allow virtual hosts
Go to Applications > MAMP > conf > apache > httpd.conf
Find this line:
# Virtual hosts
#Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Uncomment the code by removing the hash symbol.
# Virtual hosts
Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Allow SymLink Override
Find this line in that same httpd.conf file.
<Directory />
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
change None to All.
<Directory />
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Add the virtual host path
Go to Applications > MAMP > conf > apache > extra > httpd-vhosts.conf
add the virtual host with servname and document root like the below code
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.dev
DocumentRoot "/path/to/directory"
</VirtualHost>
Allow your computer to recognize your local domain
Open terminal and type
sudo pico /etc/hosts
then add your domain
127.0.0.1 example.dev
Restart your server.
If the url is showing error in chrome try safari
In my config in MAMP, only the first virtual host was responding.
After hours of search I founded the instruction for solving the problem (before listing virtual hosts definitions) :
NameVirtualHost *:80
Now, my 3 virtual hosts are working !
I followed this post, as recommended by szatti1489, and it worked for me: https://www.taniarascia.com/setting-up-virtual-hosts/
A couple of points are worth mentioning though:
This line didn't already exist in my httpd.conf file, I had to add it: Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
I had to use the .test domain ending, not .dev for my VirtualHost ServerName. The post mentions this, but then continues using.dev. Apparently, Chrome didn't support the .dev domain ending after 2017, although it didn't work in Firefox or Safari for me either.
Recently I changed from XAMP to MAMP on MAC. I tried to set up my last virtual hosts, but MAMP's 8888 port number was avoid the regular work.
Finally I found the solution. You could change the Listen port and the ServerName in httpd.conf as you could find in the following post:
https://www.taniarascia.com/setting-up-virtual-hosts/
Adding to the answer of Ritesh
You probably also want to add a directory configuration in your httpd.conf similar to the one that is already there, but for your the document root of your new server.
For Example:
<Directory "/Users/username/Sites/mysite">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
XSendFilePath "/Users/username/Sites/mysite"
</Directory>
Building off of Srinivasan's answer. This is what I did in order to have 2 virtual hosts set up
myapp-local.local:8888/
myapp-local2.local:8888/
/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8888>
DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/my_app
ServerName myapp-local.local
<Directory "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/my_app">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8888>
DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/instance-2/my_app
ServerName myapp-local2.local
<Directory "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/instance-2/my_app">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
sudo vi /etc/hosts

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 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.
How can I set up virtualhost for multiple domain name on Windows?
I will use it for my own test projects. I have three projects that I need to set up and at the moment I'm using xampplite for the portable Apache.
www.foo-bar.com --> direct to c:\xampplite\htdocs\foo-bar\
www.abcdef.com --> directo to c:\xampplite\htdocs\abcdef\
www.qwerty.com --> direct to c:\xampplite\htdocs\qwerty\web\
I also need to access on another project, but it just like typing
http://localhost/my-project/
How can I write the vhost configuration for that?
You need to do several steps in order to make this work.
Update the hosts file. On Windows XP, you can find it under c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\. You should already see the first line from below. It takes care of your mentioned other project. Add the additional ones to make any requests to the mentioned virtual hosts routed back to your own machine.
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 foo-bar.com
127.0.0.1 abcdef.com
127.0.0.1 qwerty.com
Update the vhosts file in Apache configuration. Under your XAMPP folder, add the following to apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf and if needed change the ports (i.e., if you use 8080 instead of port 80).
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/xampplite/htdocs/foo-bar/
ServerName www.foo-bar.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/xampplite/htdocs/abcdef/
ServerName www.abcdef.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/xampplite/htdocs/qwerty/web/
ServerName www.qwerty.com
</VirtualHost>
Do a quick configuration check. Open {XAMPP-folder}\apache\conf\httpd.conf your file and make sure that the following part is not commented out by a preceding # character:
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Restart XAMPP.
... and you should be all setup now. Your other project should be accessible at the URI you mentioned if you just put it under C:/xampplite/htdocs/my-project/.
To get C:/xampp/htdocs/my-project/ working, I had to add the following (default?) VirtualHost to apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf (in step 2 of MicE's tutorial).
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
127.0.0.5 abcd.com
< VirtualHost 127.0.0.5 >
ServerName abcd.com
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel\public"
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel\public">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow, deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
< / VirtualHost >
