Localhost ok for 'www' but 404 for 'httpdocs' on XAMPP root

[CarlosFreire]

Hi everybody:

I used XAMPP 7.1.8-0, PHP Version 7.1.8 on MacOs 10.11.6
My problem: I have 3 sites on my localhost, 2 working fine, but one... error 404

file httpd-vhosts.conf:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>
       DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/"
       ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
       DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/client1/www/"
       ServerName client1.localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
       DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/client2/www/"
       ServerName client2.localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
       DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/client3/httpdocs/“
       ServerName client3.localhost
</VirtualHost>

file [root] /etc/hosts

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1   localhost
255.255.255.255    broadcasthost
::1             localhost
#fe80::1%lo0   localhost
127.0.0.1   client1.localhost
127.0.0.1   client2.localhost
127.0.0.1   client3.localhost


Obs.: "client1, client2 and client3" are not the real names of the sites, only for demonstration.

In resume:

localhost.client1 -> ok
localhost.client2 -> ok

localhost.client3 -> page 404, but...
http://localhost/client2/httpdocs/ -> ok

Any idea? Thanks in advance,

Carlos

Any idea?

Yes, of course, super easy:

http://localhost/client2/httpdocs/ -> ok = /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/client2/httdpdocs/
http://localhost.client3 -> not ok = /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/client3/httpdocs/

Dont you see the difference? client2 versus client3

And actually, it is NOT localhost.client3, it is client3.localhost

You seem to be extremely confused and its a bad idea anyway, not to show us REAL data. You are showing wrong data and it makes everything worse. I dont help on hidden wrong data anymore.

Hi Nobble, thanks for your reply and sorry about my mistake on "details"
The corrected case is below [not so easy]:

In resume:

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/client1/www/"
       ServerName client1.localhost


client1.localhost -> ok

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/client2/www/"
       ServerName client2.localhost


client2.localhost -> ok

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/client3/httpdocs/“
       ServerName client3.localhost


client3.localhost -> page 404, but...
http://localhost/client3/httpdocs/ -> ok

The problem is apparently easy to figure out: XAMPP is not recognizing the site with 'httpdocs' instead of 'www'.
And, as described, the configuration in XAMPP is apparently ok for all ...
Would it have something to do with Apache or php.ini?

Last but... sorry if I not showed the real sites names on my localhost: that is no matter, really - I think.
