<VirtualHost *.laravel:80>
DocumentRoot "z:\wamp\www\laravel\%1\public"
ServerName %1.laravel
</VirtualHost>
This does not work. What I'm trying to do here is have the documentroot of http://*.laravel/ be z:\wamp\www\laravel\(wildcard * value here)\public
I don't know how to get the value of the wildcard. My windows hosts file is setup correctly to point to localhost
You are looking to use VitualDocumentRoot instead of DocumentRoot
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html#virtualdocumentroot
Also, ServerName is always static (all your dynamic DocumentRoots will have the same exact ServerName). It's one of the problems with dynamic VHs.

On my Windows 7 PC, I'm using XAMPP => Apache to run a testing webserver. But for a certain website I don't want the regular "C:\xampp\htdocs", but a custom path - which when I work on Ubuntu I usually setup in VirtualHost just as a DocumentRoot and it works.
On this PC the target path is similar to: "C:\Users\X\Disk External\DIRWITHDIÁCRÍCÍCS\WEBS\some path\path"
However on this PC when I do
<VirtualHost test2020.test:443>
DocumentRoot "C:\Users\X\Disk External\DIRWITHDIÁCRÍCÍCS\WEBS\some path\path"
ServerName test2020.test
ServerAlias www.test2020.test
</VirtualHost>
The DocumentRoot directive is completely ignored - it still seems to target files in the default C:\xampp\htdocs
I've also tried moving the files around the system and changing forward/backward slashes with no success:
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/X/Disk External/DIRWITHDIÁCRÍCÍCS/WEBS/some path/path"
DocumentRoot C:\xampp\htdocs\testdocumentroot
DocumentRoot "C:\Users\X\www"
Also I've tried swapping order of DocumentRoot and ServerName with no success.
I've checked C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf - the line Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf IS uncommented.
And the file C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf seems to affect apache start-up when set-up wrongly.
EDIT: also I did restart apache between each try :)
What am I missing?
So it's just my idiotism, I've tried to overdomain everything, but the directive attribute inside the VirtualHost tag is for network incoming limitation. For regular cases * is just fine there, also then I had a problem with Directory tag directive because aparently there's a new directive for Apache 2.4+
<VirtualHost test2020.test:443> => <VirtualHost *:443>
Working final code:
# (or *:80 for http:// , 443 is for https://)
<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot "C:\Users\X\Disk External\DIRWITHDIÁCRÍCÍCS\WEBS\some path\path"
ServerName test2020.test
ServerAlias www.test2020.test
<Directory "C:\Users\X\Disk External\DIRWITHDIÁCRÍCÍCS\WEBS\some path\path">
# NEW&SIMPLE FROM APACHE 2.4+ !
Require all granted
</Directory>

I am new to Laravel and while creating a new project, I wanted it to be named in Virtual Host. By this way,
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/logo/public"
ServerName logo.local
</VirtualHost>
I named it, defined IP address for it (127.0.0.1) in HOSTS file but now, when I write localhost/ in the address bar, instead of going to Xampp("Welcome to XAMPP"), it goes to my laravel project. I know that if I will define my localhost the same way, like
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
the problem will be solved but I don't know the reason of doing this. Why do I need to name C:/xampp/htdocs/ as localhost, if it was default before my laravel project?
if i get your meanings correct, you need add a default virtual host before other virtual host, so in your case, should be like this,
add the code block to end of the httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/logo/public"
ServerName logo.local
</VirtualHost>
and edit hosts file to
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 logo.local
Currently typing "localhost" into my browser displays a list of projects, all good... I can even do "localhost/mysite" however and I know this is slightly pedantic, but how can I convert this to "localhost.mysite" or for example "projects.local"?
I've attempted editing the hosts files but I'm not having much luck.
httpd.vhosts.conf file contents:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot “/Users/grant/Sites/mysite/"
ServerName mydomainname.dev
</VirtualHost>
Thanks in advance.
I am using MAMP. I want separate domains to use different roots on my local computer.
I want "localhost" to go to my htdocs folder.
I want "wowzers.loc" to use /Donald/Projects/wowzers as its root.
I want "secondsite.loc" to use /Donald/Projects/secondsite as its
root.
Here is my httpd-vhosts.conf file:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/Users/donald/Projects/wowzers"
ServerName wowzers.loc
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/Users/donald/Projects/secondsite"
ServerName secondsite.loc
</VirtualHost>
Right now, typing "localhost", "wowzers.loc", or "secondsite.loc" will all navigate to the first entry in my vhosts file. In this example, everything navigates to "wowzers.loc".
Why do all my servernames point to the top entry?
You should try it without the quotes around DocumentRoot and also pass the same argument from NameVirtualHost to VirtualHost i.e.: <VirtualHost *:80>
Apache documentation
I am using XAMPP, Apache 2.2.17. I have added virtual host but my virtual host and localhost both point to the same location. Here is my code in httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost www.domain.tld:80>
ServerName www.domain.tld
ServerAlias domain.tld *.domain.tld
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/workspace/testsite"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp"
ServerAlias localhost
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
With the above code, I get testsite with www.domain.tld so that is good. But If i type localhost, it will go to testsite as well. If I move ahead of test site then localhost goes to localhost good and www.domain.tld goes to localhost too. I tried different setting for localhost as like
<VirtualHost *>
<VirtualHost localhost:80>
and removing *.domain.tld from domain.tld but nothing works. Am I missing something obvious?
My own answer: The following code fixed the problem
<VirtualHost *:80> <--- * fixed the problem, apache 2.2 doc does say it must match www.domain.tld, which caused problem for other Virtual hosts
ServerName www.domain.tld
ServerAlias domain.tld
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/workspace/patriot2"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp"
ServerAlias localhost
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
please change your ServerName from virtualhost to a local IP address such as 127.0.0.2.
ServerName domain.tld is an example of using "domain.com" where .tld is replaced by .com for your domain.
