virtual hosts / documentRoot problem

Postby tmk » 23. February 2007 03:40

Hi.
I have a problem with virtual hosts configuration on XAMPP/Windows XP

i want to set up a virtual host called "test"
i red a lot of tutorials etc, but 1 thing isn't working.
i get the host when i type "http://test/" in browser, but it redirects me to DocumentRoot of localhost server.

my vhost.conf (except of commented lines):

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/test"
ServerName test
</VirtualHost>

httpd.conf - no changes.

i've edited the host file in system32 and such.

i also tried to set another VH for localhost, but it didnt change anything.

please help me because i have no more ideas...

ps. runnin newest version of xampp, downloaded today.

Please can you put here your solution because there are 2 users of xampp for linux that have the same problem and we can't solve it.

Excuse me for my bad english.

why you not try make an alias in httpd.conf...
you just need to type this script :

Alias /u're alias "D:/test"(this is directory u want to put ur files)
<Directory "D:/test">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

I've just cracked this problem for myself and I bet you're doing the same thing I was. I'm using a base path:

C:\web\this_is_a_host_domain_name\htdocs

This is what I have for my httpd-vhosts.conf file now:

NameVirtualHost *:80

## This part is essential for telling Apache that the folder "web" contains
## all of the virtual hosts on my computer. Otherwise your first site will
## become localhost, which you don't want. If you aren't using
##<Directory> it isn't an issue.
<Directory C:\web>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

##each subsequent site is set up as the example below.

## test.com
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@test.com
DocumentRoot C:\web\test.com\htdocs
ServerName test.com
ServerAlias test.com
<Directory C:\web\test.com\htdocs>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
