preventing localhost from being overridden by new vh

[april]

Hi,

I've got a virtual host, but sadly, it seems to override the localhost xampp page. How can I get around this? I've tried several different things but none has worked.

In vhosts:

Code: Select all

## local.test.leaf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot G:/web/test.leaf/htdocs
ServerName local.test.leaf
ServerAdmin admin@local.test.leaf
<Directory "G:/web/test.leaf/htdocs/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

in windows hosts file:

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1  localhost
127.0.0.1  local.test.leaf


One would think changing the local.test.leaf to a different IP would fix this issue but it hasn't. I don't see others complain about this issue, so I'm guessing it's just me. localhost shouldn't be showing the same page as local.test.leaf.

That's one possible solution.

... but it hasn't.

Then you've made an error in this configuration scenario.

Any idea where?

So far when I try to set the document root or dir path to:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName local.test.leaf
ServerAlias test.leaf
DocumentRoot G:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/web/test.leaf/htdocs
ServerAdmin admin@local.test.leaf
   <Directory "G:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/web/test.leaf/htdocs">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes
      AllowOverride All
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from All
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Apache won't even start.

If I change the docroot to someplace outside of apache it will show that as local host as well as the virtual address...

Error log says:

Any clues? Does something need to be uncommented?

Apache won't even start.

Correct. Start Apache with the batchfile and you see your error.

(BTW: This solves not your initiate problem.)

The only thing I did other than add virtual hosting is uncomment LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Nothing else has been touched (ie, it's all default settings). I have no clue what would be causing this.

[Wiedmann]

Once more the same question:
With the above postet config code, you have start the server with the batchfile and read the output?

[april]

Apache won't even start.

Correct. Start Apache with the batchfile and you see your error.

(BTW: This solves not your initiate problem.)

All it says is "Apache 2 is starting..." Unless it's supposed to say something else I'm not getting an error message.

[april]

Has no one else had an issue with VH domains running over localhost?

[april]

Well, I finally found the little issue with the VH name. (Damn browser caching...) I was forced to change the IP...

Now to beat these last few errors from my error log...

[Wiedmann]

All it says is "Apache 2 is starting..."
I'm not getting an error message.

Then Apache is working.

But why have you post:

Apache won't even start.

[april]

Because I was referring to the above snippet of code where the Docroot was pointed inside xampp's folders.
