Hey,

I've just done a fresh install of xampp.

I went into the httpd.conf and entered the following at the end of the file,

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost kbw.stevepc:80>
   DocumentRoot "V:/Work/KBW/Website/Build.WD/"
   ServerName kbwweb
   ServerAdmin admin@somewhere.co.uk
   <Directory "V:/Work/KBW/Website/Build.WD/">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride FileInfo
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I then went into my windows host file and added,

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1   kbw.stevepc

When I restart apache (and it does start without leaving anything in the error log) any address I try to access, including the bog standard localhost xampp panel, gives me a server error.

I know it has something to do with my address 'kbw.stevepc' as 'localhost:2000' works.

Am I missing something or am I doing something I'm not allowed to?

Thanks.

gives me a server error.

Which one?

as 'localhost:2000' works.

How can this work? Because a normal XAMPP is not listening on port 2000.

Which one?

Error 500, hence my knowing its the config.

Well, I added a listen for 2000. Sorry, forgot to mention that.

The reason this is bugging me so much is I did pretty much the exact same thing at work and it worked. But not at home. Hrm.

Error 500, hence my knowing its the config.

An error 500 must log something in the "error.log" with a detailed description about the error.

Sorted. Cheers.

Was an error in a .htaccess I didn't know it was pointing to.
