XAMPP virtualhost site with all configs not working - apache

I am trying to run site my.com locally on XAMPP's apache server. Here my configurations in httpd-vhosts.conf file in the path ...\XAMPP\apache\conf\extra:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/IDEs/XAMPP/htdocs"
ServerName localhost
<Directory "D:/IDEs/XAMPP/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/IDEs/Websites/my.com"
ServerName my.com
<Directory "D:/IDEs/Websites/my.com">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Also, I remembered to add two lines in the hosts file, with is located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 my.com
However, when I enter via link 'my.com' with enabled apache server, I've got only page with folder directories, which are in htdocs XAMPP's folder.
I have checked a lot of videos and stackoverflow questions, but nothing helped.
I would be pleased if you could help me with solving this issue.

first you should arrange directories on httpd.conf
example:
<Directory "C:/SERVER~1/web/site1">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "C:/SERVER~1/web/site2">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
and then arrange vhosts.conf like this
example :
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.site1.com
DocumentRoot "C:/SERVER~1/web/site1"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site1.com
DocumentRoot "C:/SERVER~1/web/site1"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.site2.com
DocumentRoot "C:/SERVER~1/web/site2"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site2.com
DocumentRoot "C:/SERVER~1/web/site2"
</VirtualHost>

After five days-night of reading, searching, trying, I finnally fould the solution and done it in some steps:
First of all, forget about every file, and concentrate on the httpd-ssl.conf which is located in D:\IDEs\XAMPP\apache\conf\extra.
Second:
find the line "SSL Virtual Host Context" which has been commented. And below, find the line <VirtualHost _default_:443>.or simmilar. Then change it to <VirtualHost *:443>.
Third, change document root to the path of xampp's htdocs, for example, "D:/XAMPP/htdocs". Also, change ServerName from www.example.com:443 or similar, to localhost.
Here we done.
And Finally, after line </VirtualHost>, insert code
<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot "D:/IDEs/Websites/my.com"
ServerName my.com
<Directory "D:/IDEs/Websites/my.com">
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Change Document Root and Directory paths to your website location. And Servername to your server name.
RESTART APACHE
it works for me.
I also understood than some website uses SSL on localhost while the others not.
SO if you have exception like Apache/2.4.37 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.2p PHP/7.0.33 Server at my.com Port 443 you shold add your virtualhost configs into httpd-ssl.conf file.
If you got like ... Port 80 add yourl virtualhost configs into httpd-vhosts.conf

How can I keep a global ServerName in apache working?

The Apache documentation is a bit unclear on the vhost configuration. Where I normally use wampserver, I discovered a discrepancy with XAMPP. Consider the fairly standard httpd.conf in the XAMPP distribution containing among other things:
ServerName localhost:80
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
And a empty httpd-vhosts.conf file. Everything works as advertised and the content of the xamp/htdocs folder is used (and redirects to /htdocs/dashboard)
As soon as a section is added to file httpd-vhosts.conf, for instance
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName customer01.localhost
DocumentRoot "D:/Customers/Customer01/httpdocs"
<Directory "D:/Customers/Customer01/httpdocs">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And the proper amendments are made to .../etc/hosts. http://localhost stops working as it now redirects to D:/Customers/Customer01/httpdocs ignoring the ServerName setting in httpd.conf.
Is this by design?
If, however, in addition to the ServerName setting in httpd.conf the following is added to httpd-vhosts.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
things are fine again.
Why is the extra vhost needed as the global ServerName is already set in httpd.conf? Is this something the ApacheFriends should add to vhost by default?

Virtual host - Not Found

I wolud like to use virtual host on Apache 2.4
I use Xampp and I will have more site so on it.
I have already read some guide and I have edit my httpd.config
# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
and the Load
also my defalut port in busy, so I have set
Listen 8080
After that I edit my httpd-vhosts.conf in this way
NameVirtualHost *:8080
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName sample.locl
DocumentRoot "C:\wwww\sample"
<Directory "C:\wwww\sample">
DirectoryIndex index.php
Require all granted
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName sample2.locl
DocumentRoot "C:\wwww\sample2"
<Directory "C:\wwww\sample2">
DirectoryIndex index.php
Require all granted
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
N.B. my site is in C:/www/sample and c:/www/sample2 and my xampp in in c:/xampp.
At the end I edit my host in system32 with
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 sample
127.0.0.1 sample2
Now I have 404 error, neither when I wrote: "localhost" in my url browser.
If i Understand how it work I suppose that when i write localhost it will be redirect to C:\xampp\htdocs and so I should see my xampp page but it's not so.. where did I go wrong?
I always recive
Not Found
HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.
thanks in advance

Share directory config accross apache vhosts

I have several vhosts setup in apache (CentOS), in a external file conf.d/vhost.conf
They all have a config like so:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
DocumentRoot "/app/example_site/public"
<Directory "/app/example_site/public">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
In the e.g. 20 virtualhosts defined in this conf file, and the part between <Directory "xxxx"> </Directory> is the same for each vhost. It should be possible to use a default directory config for each vhost right? I can't find/figure out how to do this?
Just dump the common info into a file and use the Include directive to load it:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
DocumentRoot "/app/example_site/public"
<Directory "/app/example_site/public">
Include "/path/to/common_dir_config.conf"
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Windows 7 - XAMPP: vhost keeps redirecting

My hosts file. (Win 7 ultimate)
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 efmm.local
My httpd-vhosts.conf (XAMPP 1.7.3)
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost efmm.local>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\EFMM"
ServerName efmm.local
ErrorLog "logs/efmm.localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/efmm.localhost-access.log" combined
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\EFMM">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Problem
When I go to efmm.local , the browser redirects to localhost/EFMM.
I also tried <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80> instead of <VirtualHost efmm.local>, same result.
Here's how I do it on XP (don't expect it to make any difference in 7)
First, add the virtual host's domain to your HOST (as you did)
I don't put the virtual host webroot under the main htdocs directory. I create a specific webroot next to it, which gives me the following tree:
C:\XAMPP\htdocs
C:\XAMPP\htdocs-seconddomain
C:\XAMPP\htdocs-thirddomain
etc..
So in your case, I would create c:\XAMPP\htdocs-efmm alongside C:\XAMPP\htdocs
Then:
Edit XAMPP's httpd.conf, add and define any Apache options for the new document root, i.e.:
<Directory "C:/XAMPP/htdocs-efmm">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
[any extra apache module instructions you may require]
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Edit XAMPP's httpd-vhosts.conf, adding the virtual host:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName efmm.local
ServerAlias www.efmm.local
DocumentRoot "C:/XAMPP/htdocs-efmm"
ErrorLog "C:/XAMPP/htdocs-efmm/error.log"
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
</VirtualHost>
Restart XAMPP. You may browse your new virtual host now.

Trying to get subdomains working locally with codeigniter and mamp

I'm trying to follow this tut http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/basecamp-style-subdomains-with-codeigniter/ to get subdomains working locally.
I've added this to the /etc/hosts file
127.0.0.1 snapgiftapp.com
127.0.0.1 test1.snapgiftapp.com
127.0.0.1 test2.snapgiftapp.com
and i've added this to the end of the /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.config file
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/tomcaflisch/Sites/snapGiftAppFront"
ServerName snapgiftapp.com
ServerAlias snapgiftapp.com
<Directory "/Users/tomcaflisch/Sites/snapGiftAppFront">
Options -Indexes
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/tomcaflisch/Sites/snapGiftApp"
ServerName snapgiftapp.com
ServerAlias *.snapgiftapp.com
<Directory "/Users/tomcaflisch/Sites/snapGiftApp">
Options -Indexes
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
When I point my browser to snapgiftapp.com or test1.snapgiftapp.com, I get the same site located in the snapGiftAppFront folder
I had to go into the mamp configurations and change the port to 80 instead of 8888.
