<SOLVED>setting up multiple virtual hosts

[jpjones55]

hell all. New to the forums and trying like....to setup a 2 site virtual host with same ip.

windows 10 pro, xampp v7.4.33 - got xampp setup and working, but I'm trying to setup virtual host for 2 sites using the same ip. Here's how I've set it up so far:
D:/xampp/htdocs/wptng.jpj/public_html/ - all wordpress files go in here
D:/xampp/htdocs/tng.jpj/public_html/ - all tng files go here
my hosts file is this:

Code: Select all

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#   127.0.0.1       localhost
#   ::1             localhost
    127.0.0.1      tng.jpj         www.tng.jpj
   127.0.0.1      wptng.jpj      www.wptng.jpj

my httpd-vhosts.conf is this:

Code: Select all

## VHost for TNG
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ##ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
    DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/tng.org/public_html"
    ServerName tng.org
    ServerAlias www.tng.org
    ErrorLog "logs/tng.org-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/tng.org-access.log" common
   <Directory "D:/xampp/htdocs/tng.org/public_html">
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

## VHost for WPTNG
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ##ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
    DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/wptng.org/public_html"
    ServerName wptng.org
    ServerAlias www.wptng.org
    ErrorLog "logs/wptng.org-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/wptng.org-access.log" common
   <Directory "D:/xampp/htdocs/wptng.org/public_html">
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

trying to install wordpress I'm trying to get to: http://localhost/wptng.jpj/public_html/wp-admin/install.php but get the Not Found error

Any help or suggestions of what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

the Servernames in your httpd-vhosts.conf need to match the Hostnames in your Windows HOSTS file. you configured .org domains in the vhosts, but .jpj domains in your windows hosts file.

After that you can use the domain without localhost on the URL lile http://wptng.jpj/
it would directly access files into the defined DocumentRoot defined in your virtualhost, so no need to use them in the url too. correct url would be
http://wptng.jpj/wp-admin/install.php
