I have been using XAMPP for many years now and recently got myself a new System76 computer! And I got XAMPP all setup except I cannot figure out how to create my virtual hosts in my documents folder.
I like keeping my projects in my document and not in the htdocs directory. This is my setup below where I told it to listen on port 5000 and added my virtual host configuration. But when I go to localhost:5000 in firefox I get this error
- Code: Select all
Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

How would one be able to use their Documents folder as a virtual host on linux?

# 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.
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
