Hi all! Installed xampp weeks ago, set up windows hosts file, httpd-vhosts.conf, added my alias to the httpd-xampp.conf file & used xampp to work on several html & php sites (drupal). Then it stopped working - my browsers go nowhere for http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 or http://drupal.local, etc.
I thought maybe I lost something during defrag, so I backed up the sites and database and reinstalled. Xampp starts and stays running, so does mysql. Portcheck shows xampp on 80 and mysql on 3306, https on 81... all OK.
I went back & reinstalled using the auto-installer this time - no difference.
OS is XP Pro svc pack 2. I've tried shutting down my firewall & anti-virus, too. BTW, I read through the forums somewhat first and rechecked my syntax in setting up my virtual hosts.
I must have missed something.
vhosts:
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
<virtualhost 127.0.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot E:/xampp/htdocs/
ServerName localhost
</virtualhost>
<VirtualHost drupal.local>
DocumentRoot E:\sites\drupal
ServerName drupal.local
CustomLog "E:\sites\drupal\logs\drupal.local.access.log" combined
ErrorLog "E:\sites\drupal\logs\drupal.local.error.log"
<Directory "E:\sites\drupal">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Any help out there? Thanks - john
