new to XAMPP not that new to Apache as I was running Apache 1.3 before hand. I had my Vhosts directories setup and was running mulitple dev sites on my local box. After a clean install and upgrade of my PC I decided to try XAMPP which Im happy with, should have done earlier.
So I get it installed and http://localhost/ works fine. I stop Apache edit http-vhosts.conf to add in my virtual directory as below.
- Code: Select all
NameVirtualHost *:80
##Learn to be rich affiliate
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/101 web technology/current_sites/ltbr_affiliates/lance_jenkins/"
ServerName ltbraff
</VirtualHost>
When I restart Apache, both http://localhost and http://ltbraff (my site name) display a 403 access denied message. I remove the Vhosts directive and http://localhost is back working as expected (ie The default XAMPP admin page.)
I can only assume that the vhosts directive is some how overwriting the server root..
Only thoughts and I hope I have posted enough detail. Ill keep on Googling and testing for an answer but if you guys have any tips that would be great
