what is happening ?

in your URL

http://sa3bin.zapto.org/php-files/news.php

You ask for a resource on host sa3bin.zapto.org, but in your Apache setup you tell Apache that it only needs to deal with a virtual host called "localhost". It doesn't know what to do with a name based request for sa3bin.zapto.org

Change the name of you server to the name that you want Apache to handle eg sa3bin.zapto.org

Change the name of you server to the name that you want Apache to handle eg sa3bin.zapto.org

That's not the problem, because it's the only and first VHost and so the default server that catch all 'unknown' requests.

DocumentRoot C:/xampp/www/sa3bin/

You need a "<Directory>" block with an "allow" directive for this directory also.

BTW:
You should add the port to the ServerName.

because i was told to in a forum?

I don't kwnow what they told you...

The question is:
What do you want? (Is there really a need for a VHost)?

Create the following Folders in C:/xampp/www/sa3bin:
logs
error
cgi-bin
error_pages
Create the following files in C:/xampp/www/sa3bin:
.htaccess

in your httpd-vhosts.conf replace your old virtualhost with this one:
