Apache Friends Support Forum

with windows7 and xampp1.8.1 http://localhost:8484/mysite works ! (php/sql/mydamin .....everything works!)
I change the ports ... not only the Apache server, everything works fine,
but impossible to operate: http://localhost/mysite removing ports: 8484 ...

Is that quelq'un has an idea?
(Sorry I'm french my english is bad)

I already tried:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1:8484 localhost

(I tried with my local private ip)

apache ... \conf\httpd.conf (properly configured Listen 8484)
... apache conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf (properly configured )

<VirtualHost *:8484>
DocumentRoot "E :/..../xampp/htdocs/"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias ​​localhost
<Directory "E :/..../xampp/htdocs/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
Order allow, deny
Allow from all
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</ Directory>
</ VirtualHost>

to a file. htaccess (E :/..../xampp/htdocs)
and finally to a file. htaccess (E :/..../xampp/htdocs/mysite)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond% {SERVER_PORT} ^ $ 8484
RewriteRule ^ (. *) Http://% {SERVER_NAME}% {REQUEST_URI}

when I asked the url http://localhost:8484/mysite url is rewritten in http://localhost/mysite

the url is redirected correctly but nothing is displayed (there is an index.html page in the directory)

Hi greenfairy,

Simple answer: you can't. If you don't specify a port in the url, the port will be specified by the protocol. http:// has the default port 80.
If you want to get rid of the port in your http url, you have to use port 80.

@ Altrea, thank you for your answer ...

I now set the "main port" apache on 80 and actually
I can access my sites with http://localhost/mysite ...

why make it simple when you can make it complicated? (lol)
