I have xampp with apache 2.4 on windows 10.
i have this configuration in my C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias www.localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/site3/web"
ServerName site3.localhost
ServerAlias www.site3.localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/site2/web"
ServerName site2.localhost
ServerAlias www.site2.localhost
</VirtualHost>
I added in my hosts file:
127.0.0.1 site2.localhost
127.0.0.1 site3.localhost
127.0.0.1 www.site2.localhost
127.0.0.1 www.site3.localhost
When i browse http://site2.localhost i see xampp root index.
When i browse http://site3.localhost i see again xampp root index.Same with www.site2.localhost...
What am I doing wrong?
A quick bit of info on Virtual Hosts. If you set one up and when you try and use it it sends you to the first Virtual Host, normally localhost it means there is something wrong with the Virtual Host definition or the HOSTS file, or you have entered the url incorrectly.
Apache will use the first VH defined in the file as the default site.
First remove these 2 lines from the HOSTS file
127.0.0.1 www.site2.localhost
127.0.0.1 www.site3.localhost
The HOSTS file should look like this
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 site2.localhost
127.0.0.1 site3.localhost
::1 localhost
::1 site2.localhost
::1 site3.localhost
Now each Virtual Host definition should also include some access rights like this
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/site3/web"
ServerName site3.localhost
ServerAlias www.site3.localhost
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/site3/web/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/site2/web"
ServerName site2.localhost
ServerAlias www.site2.localhost
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/site2/web/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I want to change the adress of my website from http://localhost/tests/home.html
to www.mywebsite.com.
I edited the following files as explained :
C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.17\conf\httpd.conf
C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.17\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
However, i'm not redirected to home.html but to the Wamp Server Homepage.
Any idea on how to solve this ? For info, here's my httpd-vhosts.conf and hosts file.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mywebsite.com
DocumentRoot c:/wamp64/www/tests
<Directory "c:/wamp64/www/tests/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 tests
127.0.0.1 www.mywebsite.com
::1 localhost
::1 tests
::1 www.mywebsite.com
Also, note that there are more than one files in my www/tests folder, but i want to access to home.html specifically.
You also need a VH definition fot localhost when you create virtual hosts
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot c:/wamp64/www
<Directory "c:/wamp64/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And the Server name should be mywebsite.com with a ServerAlias if you want to use the www.www.mywebsite.com
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mywebsite.com
ServerAlias www.mywebsite.com
DocumentRoot c:/wamp64/www/tests
<Directory "c:/wamp64/www/tests/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Hosts file changes
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 tests
127.0.0.1 mywebsite.com
::1 localhost
::1 tests
::1 mywebsite.com
Once these are chnaged, remember to reset the dnscache
net stop dnscache
net start dnscache
And the restart Apache to pick up these chnages
wampmanager -> Apache -> Restart Service
This is the changes made by me in httpd-vhosts.conf file
The code for the localhost
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "D:\xampp\htdocs"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
The code for my domain:
<VirtualHost *:800>
ServerAdmin postmaster#myshop.local
DocumentRoot "D:\ampp\htdocs\myshop.local\www"
ServerName myshop.local
ServerAlias www.myshop.local
<Directory "D:\xampp\htdocs\myshop.local">
Order allow,deny`enter code here`
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I need to use myshop.local instead of localhost!!!
So in hosts i did the following but still can't access it through any
browser:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 myshop.local
127.0.0.1 www.myshop.local
I keep getting a 503 error when I try to set up a virtual host. I can set up an aliased folder just fine, but no luck on the virtual host setup.
My hosts file looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 appmarket.local
::1 appmarket.local
My vs-hosts file looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:100>
DocumentRoot "C:/nanomarketvhost/local"
ServerName appmarket.local
ServerAlias appmarket.local
ErrorLog "logs/appmarket-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/appmarket-access.log" common
<Directory "C:/nanomarketvhost/local">
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:100>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
ErrorLog "logs/localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/localhost-access.log" common
<Directory "C:/wamp/www">
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I have commented out the lines in the httpd.conf to load virtual hosts.
I am following RiggsFolly answer, on this question and these examples and so far everything went well, but when I click on the vhost FF says that it can't find the server. How can this fixed?
I am using Wampserver 2.5.
I get this in the adress bar : http://www.cakeprebuild.com/
httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /wamp/www/CakePreBuild
ServerName www.CakePreBuild.com
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/CakePreBuild">
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 CakePreBuild
::1 localhost
::1 CakePreBuild
Try these changes
Your VHOSTS Definition
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/CakePreBuild"
ServerName cakeprebuild.com
ServerAlias www.cakeprebuild.com
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/CakePreBuild">
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Your HOSTS file
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 cakeprebuild.com
::1 localhost
::1 cakeprebuild.com
Personally I would avoid using the .com tld for sites your are developing and use something like .dev.
If a site actually existed called cakeprebuild.com having added that name to the HOSTS file would mean you would never be able to access the actual live site from this PC as you have redirected it to this PC.
I'm guessing wamp is not configured correctly for your vhost. FF (and chrome to a lesser degree) will try and help you out add the
'http://www.' and '.com'
around what you entered, if what you entered didn't return a result. Turn off wamp and type in 'localhost', you'll be redirected to
http://www.localhost.com
I have read through many posts and have configured WAMP for 2 sites on the same IP address as follows (httpd.conf extract):
#Tell Apache to identify which site by name
NameVirtualHost *:80
#Tell Apache to serve the default WAMP server page to "localhost"
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www"
</VirtualHost>
#Tell Apache configuration for 1 site
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName client1.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www_client1"
<Directory "C:/wamp/www_client1">
allow from all
order allow,deny
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</VirtualHost>
#Tell Apache configuration for 2 site
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName client2.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www_client2"
<Directory "C:/wamp/www_client2">
allow from all
order allow,deny
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
I have also changed the Windows hosts file to add 127.0.0.1 client1.localhost etc. however when I restart the WAMP services, //client1.localhost and //client2.localhost go to the default site in the c:\wamp\www folder.
Any help really appreciated.
Have you included your vhosts.conf in your httpd.conf?
Uncomment this line (the one that starts with 'Include') near the bottom of httpd.conf:
# Virtual hosts - leave this commented
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Edit:
It looks like the problem is that NameVirtualHost and VirtualHost have to match, so you can't have NameVirtualHost *:80 and VirtualHost 127.0.0.1. Instead, use NameVirtualHost *:80 and VirtualHost *:80 or NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80 and VirtualHost 127.0.0.1.
If they don't match, you will see the behavior mentioned in your comment where either the virtual host that doesn't match the others will get hit, or if they are all the same, the first on (your default localhost) will get hit.

Try this configuration, its just a few minor mods to yours
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.

NameVirtualHost *:80
## must be first so the the wamp menu page loads
