xampp for windows DNS problem

I'm not sure you can nest the root of a vhost inside the root of another. Wouldn't you effectively be exposing the 'lower level' hosts files as part of the structure of the original site? I guess we will see,

if I had:

site0/htdocs -- and under that was
site0/htdocs/vhosts/site1/htdocs,

I'm thinking site0's directives apply to both.

Not sure, I have never seen a case where the vhosts were nested.

Where do you see nesting?
All three sites have separate directories. None of them is parent of another.

My bad - I missed what was done with dummy-host. I must need some of that sleep stuff.

These commented-out aren't nested either. You really need a lot of sleep

I do - zero sleepy for now about 26 hrs. due to none-internet-geek-related issues (AC in my building is deado).

Sleep in the grave as they say...

Dear Radzio,

After i change the Name VirtualHost become *:80.....i could open all my 3 sites from other PCs, but i cannot open my localhost's site (in this case xampp"s site) anymore on my local PC or other PCs.

How to fix it ? need your help soon. Thanks a lot.

If you want to access your xampp default htdocs then you must create appropriate VirtualHost.
For access from any computer:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs"
ServerName desired_name
</VirtualHost>

Remember also that first VirtualHost you define becomes the default one (in other words: the one that will be used if virtualhost for specified hostname is not found).
