need http://project.localhost to be workin

[ym_chaitu]

Hai
i need some one to write one virtual host in the httpd.conf
this one i have tried it out. but it is not working. Can some one guide it out..

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName project.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\chaitu\support"
DirectoryIndex index.php login.php
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\chaitu\support">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Try something like:

Code: Select all

# line prefix = comments that Apache will ignore

# enable vhost name based addresses
NameVirtualHost *:80

# don't refer to 127.0.0.1, which is your local host and is used by the local XAMPP 'home page'
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName project.localhost
# put your web site files here
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/chaitu/support"
DirectoryIndex index.php login.php
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/chaitu/support">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

# because 'localhost' is used be the XAMPP local 'home page', need to add this in; don't need this if namebased vhosts are not enabled
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Note the forward slashes "/".

Also, add the following line to your hosts file (on XP it's here: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\..)

I'm no expert, so tread with care!

@LooseCannon

@ym_chaitu - Please give us some details. What happens, when and is anything in the log file(s)? How exactly do you navigate/action the link/website? What steps do you take...?

@dadmancpu1 - Please start your own thread. Having two issues in one thread does m' olde head in and it's generally bad form in forums. In that new thread, tell us what happens, when and is anything in the log file(s)? How exactly do you navigate/action the link/website? What steps do you take...?

it writes nothing in the log files..
i am navigating by typing like this in the browser.
http://project.localhost/

it says as the link is broken in chrome and nothing it shows in IE and in firefox it adds www and navigates to the internet..

[LooseCannon]

Ah! I should have asked already...

Have you added the 'test domain' into your host file?

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\

The file is just called "host". No suffix.

Add a line:
127.0.0.1 project.localhost

Then, when you type "http://project.localhost/" in a browser address, the browser looks at your localhost, ie you PC. Otherwise, the browser heads off to the default gateway on your network...

[ym_chaitu]

already done that by googling it..
but didnt worked..

[LooseCannon]

Just back-checking some details in the first. In httpd-vhosts.conf:

NameVirtualHost *:80
(not NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1)

<VirtualHost *:80>
(not <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>)

Note: Stop and start Apache when changes made to httpd-vhosts.conf; sorry if this is obvious to you, but better safe and insulted eh?!

[ym_chaitu]

i have done that but still nope..

[LooseCannon]

You do have forward slashes in your vhost file, not backslashes?

The first post shows:

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\chaitu\support"

Should be:

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/chaitu/support"

[ym_chaitu]

i think that was the problem. now it is working fine...
thank you for your help..

now the configuration file is

Code: Select all

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName ftp.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/chaitu/ftpfull"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/chaitu/ftpfull">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
