I am in possession of xampp 1.8.0 on windows 8.1 and everything works fine.
I decided to download the version 1.8.3 and I began to adapt the new version to my needs.
I enabled the virtualhost correctly by editing the configuration of file c: \ xampp \ apache \ conf \ extra \ httpd-vhosts.conf entering a site (www.valentinisoft.org).
I modified the fie c: \ windows \ system32 \ drivers \ etc \ hosts by inserting a row 127.0.0.1 www.valentinisoft.org
I finally changed the system variable path by adding the path of apache and php
I then added the files to this new site in the subdirectory of C: \ xampp \ htdocs.
Everything seems to work except that php!
When I call the site www.valentinisoft.org the system responds regularly if you open the pages. Html but it does not work, returning the script only, when the pages are. Php.
Since version 1.8.0 of xampp works correctly .. where did I go wrong?
PS: In version 1.8.0 virtual hosting has been obtained by directly editing the configuration file c: \ xamp \ apache \ conf \ httpd.conf.
I tried to edit the same file in version 1.8.3 but apache will not load and error.
