Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi members

I have create a few virtual hosts before in my localhost using xampp for windows. There is no problem with these older entries.
As advised, to achieve this i place 1) entries in hosts of system32/drivers/etc eg 127.0.0.1 mysite.local 2) entries in httpd-vhosts.conf of c:\xampp\apache\conf\extra between <VirtualHost *:80> & </VirtualHost>.

But when i browse eg http://mysite.local (after restarting apache) it always end up in https://mysite.local/dashboard/

Question: how can i find out what went wrong. I have double check all entries, they are similar to what i have done before that work. Appreciate your pointers.

Did you activate include httpd-vhosts.conf in httpd.conf? Most people overlooked that it is commented out via # in first column.

Thanks guys for the response.

I found out why: it is because of the cache of the browser which already recognize mysite.local. Once the cache is cleared it works.
