I have tried all kinds of things, read all answers, and configured the bananas out of it, but I cannot seem to get the following working:
A windows 2016 server with XAMPP, to host more websites than 1.
What have I done:
I have altered the httpd-vhosts.conf as described all over the web with allowing NameVirtualHost, and setting up virtual host with documentroot, servername etc.
I have pointed a domain with the a-record to this server
installed the latest XAMPP release to date
changed the windows hosts file, as described everywhere (127.0.0.1 domainname.com)
What works:
I can get the domain working on my server's browser. When I enter the specific domainname.com it shows the hello world page I made in the specified folder. The domain resolves and shows the page that is in de directory accordingly
Besides that, the localhost of apache is also working, I have 2 sites working, but only on the browser of the server, on the machine itself.
What does not work:
Only 1 thing. when I want to access the domain from any other machine than the server (from outside so to say), it will not work, but when I ping the domain on my home-pc it resolves to the server.
I am at a loss. Been at this for hours, and beginning to question if it is even possible.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here, or if it is even possible to have more than 1 website to work on XAMPP and resolve form the outside?
Thank you in advance.
It was windows firewall that stopped all inbound connections. I finally figured it out!

I have created a virtual server say aaa.com but when I access the site (via editing my hosts file on Windows 7, cos I have a live aaa.com running on the Internet), it brings me to my other virtual server's site I have, like bbb.com
Why is that? I don't have any redirection running. Not in my script files (like html or php) and no redirection set under "Server Configurations" -> "Website Redirects" and none at "Services" -> "Click Configure Website" -> "Aliases and Redirects." The only script files I have are fresh new WordPress installation files (under home/aaa/public_html).
How do I fix this?
Mullazman is right (thanks!). I have just had this problem after enabling the SSL on the domain A. Then, all the domains in the same installation were pointing to A.
I fixed it by editing the file located in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/A.conf and changing the first line:
Wrong line -> <VirtualHost A.B.C.D:80>
Correct line -> <VirtualHost *:80>
Had the same issue. For anyone interested it's because I had at the header of my sites-enables/aaa.com.conf which was picking up all requests and send them to the first host.
Change it to and it started directing traffic to the correct virtual hosts.
It was triggered when I enabled SSL on aaa.com, it for some reason re-wrote the config file to use IP based filtering not domain name
Try to delete browser cache with CTRL+F5,
then try again. If that doesn't help, check virtualhost configuration files -maybe there lies the problem.
The solution I found
I had the same problem ...
And I ended up with a lot of doubts ...
And I searched for a SOLUTION for this case, I hope to help ...
1 - Should the BIND have an external or internal IP in the domain? I use only one IP for all servers, and in BIND all domains are with external IP. (The question is whether it should be external or internal IP).
R = Yes, you must configure the internal IP in Virtualmin, prefer to edit the file. Only in localhost you should have 127.0.0.1
2 - Would NGINX have any configuration? How to remove IP and just put (listen *: 80) instead of (listen 288.218.198.981:80)
R = This configuration was changed but then I had problems with DNS and I returned to use the INTERNAL IP (not the localhost) ... Normally this IP starts as: 10.1xx.xx.xx
But which configuration would work in general?
Restart these steps ...
If you still have an error ...
Back up ... And in Virtualmin settings ...
Edit Virtual Server >> Activate Features >>
Uncheck NGINX, BIND, NGINX SSL.
He will ask for confirmation and click to confirm.
After this process is completed, return to the same option and reschedule ...
This will make it delete the old ones and put a new one.
(This works great for those who changed hosting and has old settings).
If you are importing a backup. Do not select the DNS and NGINX option ...
One tip is to create Virtual Server {your domain / site} First of all ...
And only then only import directories and databases ...
So you will not have problems with DNS and wrong redirects ...
Update
This also occurs when the SSL certificate is not issued correctly.
Folder permissions are incorrect.
Chmod 0755 folders
0644 Files
SOLUTION!!!
Cheap workaround let us say our domain is domain.xyz
Under the BindDNS Master Zone for domain.xyz create a cname record I believe it is listed in webmin as Name Alias and name it 000.domain.xyz
Under apache create a virtual server with the name 000.domain.xyz and make sure it has the same directory as domain.xyz
After this is done you are golden all your websites will come up as they should!
Is it proper well maybe not.
Does it work well like a charm of course otherwise I wouldn't be sharing for some reason the way the severs are listed it defaults to the first on the list well that'll fix that there should be a method of pinning the servers or doing something to prevent such a thing from happening what a pain in the rear I spent a full day dumbfounded thinking what in the world is going on I am losing my touch.
If this helps give a like if its wrong apologies all I know is that it works.
Read the thread.
Many folks claim this is an SSL thing.
Zero people have eluded to the true method of fixing it or the proper directions to do so or if they did I'm too blind to see it.
The guy below me commenting hrmmm... Yeah browser caches for my website didn't exist on my devices I tried them on to verify that was not the problem. But yes this is a typical problem with a lot of things indeed. It is the only reason I have several browsers on my PC actually for that reason. For a while there there were pages that chrome would function with that IE wouldn't or Firefox would best them both. Not to mention cache is always a pita its always usually one of my steps in troubleshooting any issues with web pages. I'll even try openDNS or other DNS servers.
But holy cats I can't believe how fast DNS just updates once you got things set it makes me wonder if there is a lot of fudge in propigation when you purchase hosting being "24 -48 hours" I think there is a lot of fudge in those numbers after my experiences trying to figure out what was causing the issue here. Some servers struggle yes but for the most part it was pretty instant for me.
In my case it happened after creating SSL certificate, I forgot to do:
Edit Virtual Server -> Enable Apache SSL Website
I recently installed Bitnami trac and now I want to access it using my domain name.
I've made the necessary changes to the apache config file (httpd.conf) found in C:\Bitnami\trac-1.0.5-0\apache2\conf\ directory. I've installed trac in port 8080.
So this is the only change I made.
ServerName trac.mydomain.com:8080
I had trac in another server before, and that time also this was the only change I made to get my domain work with it. But this time it doesn't work.
Can somebody please tell me where I've missed? Do I have to update any other place?
According to your comment, you can access the server fine by using the IP address, but can't access it at all when using the domain name. This sounds like it might not be related to Trac at all. Here are a couple of things to try:
Run "nslookup your-domain-name.com". You should get a result that says "Addresses:" and lists your server's IP address. If you don't (or if you get a "Non-existent domain" error), then your DNS server isn't mapping your domain name to your IP address correctly.
Look through Apache's various log files on your server and see if there is any evidence of your request ever reaching your server. Whenever I do this, I first change LogLevel to debug in the Apache config files so that I get as much output as possible (restart Apache after changing the config file). If a 'debug'-level log doesn't even show that Apache saw the request, then something between your server and your local system is causing problems (a firewall perhaps). If the Apache logs do show that the request made it through, then the problem is likely an Apache configuration problem and the log output should provide hints as to how to continue.
Try connecting via VPN and then accessing your server by domain name (not IP address). If you can access the server by IP but not by name, then the server may not know its own domain name.
Bitnami developer here. By default bitnami installations accept petitions from any IP so you don't have to set the ServerName.
Although, if you want your page to be accessible using trac.yourdomain.com, you should consider using apache virtualHosts, could you try to follow this documentation page?

I got a Windows Server 2008, with 2 webapplications running on it, www.myapp.com and update.myapp.com. When Im not on my webserver, the urls works fine, but they doesnt work when my server request those urls. However, localhost works on webserver. The server can also reach other websites just fine.
Now I need www.myapp.com to be able to talk to update.myapp.com, but since my server doesnt want to talk to itself, it wont work. How can I solve this?
Strange. This is hacky, but I'd edit your hosts file to point those two domains to localhost (127.0.0.1).
The windows hosts file should be in :
%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\
There should be an example in there. Just add two lines for those two addresses.
I'm working on this project where the client has a virtual server setup. I installed apache and such and got everything working fine on localhost. But in order for it to show up on the internets, the people that run this virtual server needs me to:
"If you try and reach 10.0.0.7:8000 you do not come to the index page but if you do localhost the index page is shown. You need to configure so that it listens to it´s Local IP 10.0.0.7."
Now I am kinda new to this court (I am just a simple webdev that likes to put everything together localhost and uploads his stuff with regular ftp). I bet the answer is simple, but their hotline is closed because they are accross the atlantic. Can someone tell me how to go round and do this? (I am almost blushing because for my not knowing). The virtual server is running on Windows 2003 OS
I believe you should find it relatively easy to do: Listen Directive
Go to the httpd.conf file in your apache/conf dir and change the port and address in the listen directive as:
Listen 10.0.0.7:8000
Don't forget to restart the service.
I am trying to learn PHP. I am having trouble getting Apache working correctly on my Vista Home Premium machine.
I have IIS7 running and I would like to have Apache running along with it. I was looking around on the web and some say that it would be fine having the two together as long as they are looking at different ports.
I left IIS looking listening on port 80 and I edited the httpd.conf file in the apache2triad/conf folder to listen on port 8080 and changed the server name to localhost:8080. When I go to localhost:8080/phpmyadmin the page that allows me to create a database looks like all the page styling is off so I know that something is already wonky.
I enter a database name and click the Create button, then receive a 404 error from IIS. It says that it is looking for a file at:
Requested URL:
http://localhost:80/phpmyadmin/db_create.php
Physical Path:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpmyadmin\db_create.php
It's pointing to my inetpub folder but all of my PHP stuff is in the c:\apache2triad folder.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks.
If you want to get a URL from your Apache server, you need to use port 8080 instead of port 80 (which is where you say IIS is running) - so your URL should be http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/db_create.php
As Shawn said, if you're not familiar with apache at all, you're probably better off setting up PHP under IIS - see http://www.php.net/install.windows
