Issue in <VirtualHost>

[ricardouel]

Hi.

I've already posted a question recently about running multiple versions of PHP on XAMPP 7.4.16 server on Windows. At first it works OK and has no issues.
It's working like this:

PHP 8 on port 8088
PHP 7.4 on port 80 (default)
PHP 7.3 on port 8083
PHP 7.2 on port 8082
PHP 7.1 on port 8081
PHP 7.0 on port 8080
PHP 5.6 on port 8056


Now I need to create a VirtualHost to associate a domain to an application developed in Zend Framework and I'm not getting success. It was developed in PHP 5.6 and I need it to respond for the viderahome.local domain on the server.

Here are my codes:

httpd.conf

# Virtual Hosts
#
# Required modules: mod_log_config

# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

# Use name-based virtual hosting.

Every time I run in my browser the URL viderahome.local it points to the root of my web server and not to the Zend application folder.

What might be missing?

Best regards.

You can only omit the port number of an URL, if the given protocols default port is used.
So for HTTP that means, port 80 can be omited. for HTTPS, port 443 can be omited.
In fact http://viderahome.local/ can also be written as http://viderahome.local:80/
There is no way around it. A domain is the representation of the ip part of an url, not the port part.

[ricardouel]

I understand, but my application must run on PHP 5.6 which I want it to respond on port 8056.

How could I make it respond with the domain?

I tried http://viderahome.local:8056 but it gives error 500.

[Altrea]

What is the detailed error text for your erro 500 in the logs?

[ricardouel]

For error 500 I found nothing.

Seems like you did not configure your PHP 5.6 version properly.
Check your setting session.save_path for the correct temporary path

btw: not an XAMPP issue at all. If you are doing changes to the XAMPP components like adding new PHP versions you should be able to debug such issues by yourself. We cannot provide any support for third party installations.

[ricardouel]

My session.save_path seems OK.

session.save_path="C:\xampp\tmp"

I understand that the problem is not with XAMPP but I figured that here would be a collaborative forum and someone more experienced than I could help me.

My session.save_path seems OK.

session.save_path="C:\xampp\tmp"

Is that verified by phpinfo() at the same code line your error occurs?

I understand, but this board only exists for one reason: to help XAMPP users with XAMPP components.

Thank you. I will look for help in these forums.

session.save_path="C:\xampp\tmp"

Yes.

Well then i cannot help at all. If session save path is configured correctly PHP should write and read session files in that specified folder.
But the error message you posted here says it tries to read session data from /tmp.
