i followed the following instructions: virtual host, https.
As i use a DynDNS for my locas hosted webside, my final 000-default.conf looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www.mydomain.dyndns.xx
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.dyndns.xx/
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/ca.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/ca.key
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/www.virtualhost1.com_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/www.virtualhost1.com_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I additionaly configured in /etc/apache2/apache.conf the follwoing:
<Directory /var/www/html/mydomain.dyndns.xx>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
and in the /etx/host
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
127.0.1.1 raspberrypi
192.168.x.x www.mydomain.dyndns.xx
when i try to open the URL of the page it desplays me the "Indes of /" on Port 80, when i klick on those files, i get the http:// mydomain.dyndns.xx/mydomain.dyndns.xx.index.php
if i call the https:// then i get an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED on my browser.
Thank you for the help!
Your 000-defualt.conffile looks perfectly file . Although when using SSL certificates make sure to make the following changes :
EDIT PORTS.CONF FILE
Edit your ports.conf file and add the following line :
Listen 192.168.x.x:443
This tells the apache to listen to incoming connections from the specified Ip : port 443
TESTING CONFIG ON LOCALHOST
You can test the config on your system first by making the following entry in /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.x www.mydomain.dyndns.xx
And adding the following to ports.conf file:
Listen 127.0.0.x:443
Make sure to comment out 192.168.x.x www.mydomain.dyndns.xx entry in ports.conf file before testing the config
ENABLE MOD_SSL
Enable mod_ssl by issuing the following command:
sudo a2enmod ssl
RESTART APACHE
Restart apache2 : sudo systemctl restart apache2
In your browser point to your domain name : https://www.mydomain.dyndns.xx

Context: fresh wampserver 3.x install (windows10)
port 80 was used by microsoft iis so i change the port using wampserver tool (right click on the icon). Wampserver manage itself to change the port with 8080.
at this moment, httpd-vhosts.conf content is
# Virtual Hosts
#
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"
<Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
and hosts content is:
#
127.0.0.1 localhost:8080
::1 localhost:8080
Purpose: create virtualhost for my project like http://myproject.localdev instead of http://localhost:8080/myproject/public/
what's going bad ?
by using wampserver link to create virtualhost, i got the error message below
first VirtualHost must be localhost in c:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.33/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
I used 8080 port too and had the same problem. What I've done - in httpd-vhosts.conf I added localhost with port 80 anyway, so I had both port 80 and port 8080:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
....
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName localhost
After that I opened localhost:8080 - there was a warning "Port used for the VirtualHost is not an Apache Listen port". Newertheless I clicked "Add a Virtual Host". The new host was added, then I restarted DNS (WAMP - Tools - Restart DNS).
After all you can delete from httpd-vhosts.conf localhost:80
I try to use a Virtual Hosts on xampp (apache 2.4), on Windows 10.
I've been through a lot of topics and posts and tried every combination of port etc, and I couldn't make it work.
When I try to access my project it redirects me to localhost (default).
Here's my system32/drivers/etc/hosts :
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 yanns-properties.test
Here's my httpd-vhosts.conf :
NameVirtualHost *:8080
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
# Site: yanns-properties
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/yanns-properties"
ServerName yanns-properties.test
CustomLog "C:/xampp/htdocs/yanns-properties/custom.log" combined
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/yanns-properties">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I also put in my httpd.conf file :
Listen 80
Listen 8080
When I try to access yanns-properties.test, it redirects me to localhost (with list of file since I renamed index).
I tested with various port, with my project in a different folder ... I don't know what to do anymore.
Thanks for your help !

I have read a lot of articles and posts about Virtual Hosts setting but I was not able to figure out which is the problem.
I have a Win7 pc where I installed an xampp to manage my php + mysql projects.
As per default the web root directory is C:\xampp\htdocs
To avoid conflict with skype I setted apache to work on port 8080
If I browse to something like localhost:8080/mysubdir it works fine.
My idea was now to point the webroot of Apache to another dir on my pc: the dir where I would like to point my webroot is C:\Users\myuser\Google Drive\CODE_REPOS
I searched on-line and it seems to be possible by VirtualHost;
Here my configuration
apache httpd.conf
#Listen [::]:80
Listen *:8080
# Virtual hosts
#Include "conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf"
here my httpd-vhosts.conf
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:8080
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerAdmin admin#localhost.com
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs" # change this line with your htdocs folder
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost development.loc:8080>
ServerAdmin admin#localhost.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/myuser/Google Drive/CODE_REPOS" # change this line with your htdocs folder
ServerName development.loc
ServerAlias development.loc
<Directory "C:/Users/myuser/Google Drive/CODE_REPOS">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Now the code in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 development.loc
If I stop Apache, uncomment the line #Include "conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf" and try to start Apache again, it start and stop immediatly.
I don't understand what I missed.
remove the hash from the start of the include line
apache httpd.conf
#Listen [::]:80
Listen *:8080
# Virtual hosts
include "conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf"
So I have this problem...
I use WAMP and have set up perfectly working Virtual Hosts in the past, but now I have come to something I never foresaw.
I am trying to do this:
Access C:\wamp\www through http://localhost
Access D:\somethingelse through http://localhost:8080 OR http://something.dev
I much prefer using the proper http://something.dev, as the working site is http://something.co, and so I can keep them separate.
I have followed guides and read forum posts, but all I have manages to do so far is this:
Access C:\wamp\www through http://localhost OR http://something.dev
Access D:\somethingelse through http://localhost:8080 OR http://something.dev:8080
Anybody got any idea how you would do this? Here's my VirtualHost Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias www.localhost.com
ErrorLog "logs/localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/localhost-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerAdmin webmaster#something
DocumentRoot "D:/something/www"
ServerName something.dev
ServerAlias www.something.dev
ErrorLog "logs/something-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/something-access.log" common
<directory "D:/something/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</directory>
</VirtualHost>
And in httpd.conf I have this
Listen *:80
Listen *:8080
And my hosts file is working and points both of these to 127.0.0.1
(The reason I want to do this is that when I code on my machine I use the http://something.dev, but I run Livereload Windows, and test my website simultaneously on an iPhone and iPad on the same local network, but without any access to iOS's equivalent of the hosts file. It also allows me to open up only a specific part of my server to the internet, through port forwarding on my router.)
I suppose you have solved the issue. Anyway is good to share some nice information on how to set up multiple Virtual Hosts in Wamp. This is working for me:
http://www.kristengrote.com/blog/articles/how-to-set-up-virtual-hosts-using-wamp
In my case I am working with ports 8080 and 8181. 8080 is redirecting to a subfolder under c:\wamp\www\myfolder, while 8181 is redirecting to root c:\wamp\www.
To make 8181 work I had to edit httpd-vhosts.conf, hosts (in \drivers\etc folder) and httpd.conf.
In httpd.conf my Apache is listening:
Listen 8080
Listen 8181
also I uncommented:
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
my root is pointing to
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/myfolder"
root directory is configured as:
<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
Allow from localhost
</Directory>
and added:
<VirtualHost *:8181>
DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www"
ServerName name-of-my-fake-server
</VirtualHost>
in httpd-vhosts.conf I have set:
NameVirtualHost *:8181
in hosts (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc) I have added:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 name-of-my-fake-server #My Test Site
Doing that I have now two ports working 8080 and 8181: so 8080 points to directory "c:\wamp\www\myfolder" and the other port 8181 points to my root folder "c:\wamp\www\"
Using * as the hostname requires the use of NameVirtualHost:
NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:8080
For those with MAMP, edit the httpd.conf
nano /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf
Add Listen for each port
Listen 80
Listen 8080
And the ServerName too
ServerName localhost:80
ServerName localhost:8080
Once done that, edit httpd-vhosts.conf
nano /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Define NameVirtualHost
NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:8080
And the VirtualHost's
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/yourUser/path/project1"
ServerName project1.local
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "/Users/yourUser/path/project2"
ServerName project2.local
</VirtualHost>
Of course you need to have project1.local and project2.local in your hosts file
sudo nano /etc/hosts
And add
127.0.0.1 project1.local project2.local
Restart MAMP and you could access your vhost by
project1.local
project2.local:8080
project2 could be access also in your network or with a external IP (e.g to test from a different device like a mobile phone). Assuming your IP is 192.168.1.10
192.168.1.10:8080
The question is a little about it. But I assumed that it's near there and may be helpful for somebody.
Recently I met the problem when I need to get access to a few resources (debian repository, my website and phpmyadmin) by one external IP address and port.
After learning the problem I found technology named as reverse proxy. It like proxy but server is accepting all connection from many users and redirect to one target (your server).
I made simple Docker image and docker-compose file and push that to github.com/urpylka/docker-nginx-reverse-proxy and hub.docker.com.
Config file is very simple:
server {
listen 80;
server_name smirart.ru robotic.lol;
location / {
proxy_pass http://robotic.lol:1080/;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name repo.smirart.ru;
location / {
proxy_pass http://8.8.8.8:2080/;
}
}
You can use that for few web-servers running by different IP.
As i tried to configure my virtual host in apache. I put something like this,
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /xampp/htdocs/gift
ServerName gift.loc
</VirtualHost>
And in my hosts file i put something like this,
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 gift.loc
And i run it on the browser,
http://gift.loc - is fine
But when i tried using this,
http://localhost/othersite - can't found
Do i missed somehting to configure? ANy ideas...
Thanks in advance,
You need a VirtualHost entry for every host you want apache to handle. The first one in the config file will be used as the default if no other VirtualHosts match the request.
For example if we have:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /xampp/htdocs/gift
ServerName gift.loc
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /example/htdocs/gift
ServerName example.com
</VirtualHost>
A request for foobar.org will get handled by the gift.loc virtual host.
you need to put localhost in the vhosts.conf
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /xampp/htdocs/
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /xampp/htdocs/gift
ServerName gift.loc
</VirtualHost>
This works fine (Make sure you restart apache). If you need to check your configuration you can (on linux at least) run httpd -S.
There are few steps you need to follow to setup the virtual host on ubuntu:
Let say that your project folder name is myProject
Step 1:Place your folder inside /var/www/html
sudo mv ~/myProject /var/www/html/
Step 2: Give ownership of project folder to www-data
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/myProject
Step 3:Create new site inside Sites available:
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
ls
Here you will see existing 000-default.conf and default-ssl.conf .Copy the content of both file into one file and replace your folder name or copy this one into new file named myProject.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/myProject/
ServerName project.com
ServerAlias www.project.com
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/myProject/
ServerName project.com
ServerAlias www.project.com
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/mobidev_cert.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/certs/mobidev_key.pem
<FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$">
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</FilesMatch>
<Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin>
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Include the path of self signed certificate also in this as shown ssl key and ssl certificate that can be downloaded easily.
Step 4:Add your project into apache configuration file.
sudo vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
put this lines in the file:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/myProject"
<Directory /var/www/html/myProject/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Step 5:Add your virtual server name (specified in myProject.conf) into host file.add that line:
sudo gedit /etc/hosts
127.0.1.1 project.com
Step 6:Now all set ,enable site,restart apache
sudo a2ensite /etc/apache2/sites-availabl/myProject.conf
sudo systemctl reload apache2
sudo update-rc.d apache2 defaults
sudo update-rc.d mysql defaults
sudo a2enmod ssl
sudo a2ensite default-ssl
Just hit project.com in your browser.
From the docs, it looks like we need to create a block for each different host that you would like to serve.
Further in the same doc, If you are adding virtual hosts to an existing web server, you must also create a block for the existing host.
