Two websites on one server xampp 1.6.6

Postby jami » 17. January 2009 17:41

Hi

I'd like to host more than one website on my server. I'm currently using xampp (Windows) version 1.6.6/ under previous versions I simply added a VirtualHost in the httpd.conf file. In 1.6.6 it appears to be different.
Can anyone help?

Thanks

That's exactly the way in all Apache versions (from 1.x to 2.2.x)

You enable virtual hosts in the httpd.conf file, but you add the parameters to the httpd-vhosts.conf file which is in C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra folder.

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I found the httpd-vhosts.conf by chance after posting the thread. However, I now have a small problem with it.

Both urls, i.e. website1 and website2 point to the server but they both point to the same website1 homepage when accessing either url from the internet. However, from the LAN, they both point to the their respective homepages. Is there something I missed???

I want website2 to point to its own homepage. The website2 folder is in the htdocs folder of xampp, e.g. C:/xampp/htdocs/website2/index.html and website1 is in the default, e.g. C:/xampp/htdocs/index.html.

It's probably something so simple I'm overlooking it but I've played around with the paths the root folders with no luck. I remember vaguely, that there was somethign that needed to be changed in the Windows 'etc' directory of the server but I'm not sure if this still applies.

Thanks

Please paste here your httpd-vhosts.conf file so it can be checked out.

Also do a forum search for vhosts or virtualhost which may return some useful examples.

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/website1
ServerName www.website1.com
</VirtualHost>

Dans WINDOWS/System32/drivers/etc

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 www.website1.com

Quand je fais apache -S je reçois le message 'syntax ok'

I've got the same issuse, My vhost code is what I've copied of this site and is almost the same as yours paprt from I have servername before the dir.

Same thing, both urls goto the same site.
My URL's are controlled by no ip so I dont bother with the local host file (stay away from wins!!).

I'll be watching!!

Fixed it.
In the vhosts file find "##NameVirtualHost *:80" and remove the ##'s

Had you read the forum Announcements first and followed it's very simple rule you would have been up and running much sooner and saved others their precious time, which is offered here voluntarily and for free to responsible forum members.

You are obviously a person who completely ignores rules, simple or otherwise, therefore and from now on, you must suffer the consequences.
