hi,
firstly let me just say that I'm an IIS guy. Had to install WAMP of some sort to run a website and chose XAMPP as it looked (and has thus far proven to be) simple.
I've installed it and it runs fine. I have iis on the same server, so had to make sure the iis iplist was limited and it didn't socket pool etc., but got that sorted fine. Now all i want to do is run a website on the xampp install. if I go to the ip address i get the xampp welcome page, I can administer mysql, email works everything fine. I have a new website (lets call it MySite), I've copied the webite and its sub-directories to c:\xampp\htdocs\MySite and my conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf looks as below. items in [] are substitutes for the real data.
My problem is that if i go to http://www.mysite.com i get the xampp welcome page . . . I've been going round and round all afternoon with this, and I can't get it to work. Doubtless I'm missing some directive somehwere, but I can't find it
any help will be mostly greatfully recieved.
