I'm trying to set up my project on xampp.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin test#test.biz
DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/test/public"
ServerName testproject.dev
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-error_log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-access_log" common
<Directory "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/test/public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I uncomment line in httpd.conf for virtual hosts, but stil im getting error 500. Any suggestion? I m using MAC OS.
Also in hosts i added:
127.0.0.1 testproject.dev
Any suggestion?
It's impossible to help you without checking the log. You should enable Apache HTTP Server's logging and check the events. I guess that the log in your case is dummy-host2.example.com-error_log. Look through the events and find out what's wrong with this configuration.
I'm attempting to debug rewriting in a joomla website on xampp. What I observe is the following
the website is working
After I enable URL rewrite in the Joomla BE none of the links work, but the main page still works. I conclude that the rewrite is not working proper.
I have activated (renamed) the .htaccess in the root
I've added LogLevel warn rewrite:trace6 to the httpd.conf and restarted Apache.
I've consulted http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html#logging
and http://docs.joomla.org/Enabling_Search_Engine_Friendly_(SEF)_URLs
Not sure if this is relevant, but my websites are configured with:
<VirtualHost *:80>
UseCanonicalName Off
VirtualDocumentRoot "D:/srv/htdocs/%2/%1"
ServerAlias *.*.localhost
</VirtualHost>
in httpd-vhosts.conf that enables me to have multiple websites
But even if I configure it as a non virtual host it still does not create log entries for rewrite, neither in error_log nor in access_log.
I'm also running a vhost on WAMP using Apache 2.4.17 and here is my config in the httpd-vhosts.conf file in order to get a proper log file :
<VirtualHost *:80>
RewriteEngine On
LogLevel alert rewrite:trace6
ErrorLog "C:\Users\.....\Desktop\log.txt"
ServerName .....
DocumentRoot ....
<Directory ....>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Hope this helps.
Try alert instead of warn for debugging. I.e.: LogLevel alert rewrite:trace6
In addition, your log file was possibly not flushed when you looked into it. Check also that you are looking in the right log file. Search for 'ErrorLog' in the Apache configuration file.
I noticed this by chance earlier and after a quick Google, really couldn't find anything to help. I'm genuinely having trouble even explaining the problem!
When I access http://mydomain.com/error/README I appear to be getting the error readme found in /var/www/error/README. My virtual host for mydomain.com is document root is pointing to /var/www/html/mydomain, and /var/www/html/mydomain/error/ does not exist.
Naturally I feel this shouldn't be happening and although I haven't been able to replicate it, my main concern is that a user could in fact access anything off of /var/www/ not just /var/www/error/
Linux version: CentOS release 6.5 (Final)
Apache version: Apache/2.2.15
My virtual host file is:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName mydomain.com
ServerAlias www.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks

Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
LogLevel error

ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/mydomain_error.log
</VirtualHost>
Naturally I feel this shouldn't be happening and although I haven't been able to replicate it, my main concern is that a user could in fact access anything off of /var/www/ not just /var/www/error/
You probably have the following directive in your httpd.conf:
Alias /error/ "/var/www/error/"
This just redirects all your error queries to /var/www/error (e.g. if you need www.example.com/error/README it would redirect me to one of the README in that director). Removing the alias should fix your problem.
If you are concerned about access to your other directories then I, as a complete newbie to apache, would recommend.
Auditing your httpd.conf and removing any aliases that you don't need.
Modifying your containers to have "Deny from all" and "AllowOverride None" in all of them.
If you have selinux enabled, then remove the httpd security contexts from those directories.
I have a Windows XP system running XAMPP/Apache. I already have files on an external hard drive that I would like to serve up without moving them to the same drive as the Apache installation.
Here is what I've tried so far:
In the main HTTPD.conf file:
Alias /client_files D:/clients/files
<Directory D:/clients/files>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
But the only result I got was :
Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403
localhost
Apache/2.4.7 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1e PHP/5.5.6
I also tried adding to the HTTPD-VHOSTS.conf file:
ServerName client_files
ServerAlias client_files
DocumentRoot "D:/clients/files"
And also:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "D:/clients/files"
ServerName client_files
ServerAlias client_files
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
But neither of these worked either. How in the world can I add another directory to an Apache installation and have it accesible via something like "localhost/client_files"?
Any suggestions?
UPDATE: [SOLVED]
As per #Pedro Nunes's answer below, I now have my httpd.conf file with this section at the end of the file and which includes the line "Require all granted" which Pedro answered with and which now solves the issue:
Alias /client_files D:/clients/files
<Directory D:/clients/files>
Require all granted
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Have you tried Require all granted inside the directory section?
This will grant access to all requests.
This guide explains exactly how I have it setup on my windows xampp machine. http://www.delanomaloney.com/2013/07/10/how-to-set-up-virtual-hosts-using-xampp/
remember to give an absolute documentroot path as well as adding the 127.0.0.1 servername line to hosts in C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts
I have installed WAMP version 2.1 on my windows 7 machine. When i browse to localhost in my browser, the WAMP server page is visible.
But when I browse to my IP in my browser, I get the message
403 Forbidden: You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Any suggestions?
The access to your Apache server is forbidden from addresses other than 127.0.0.1 in httpd.conf (Apache's config file) :
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
The same goes for your PHPMyAdmin access, the config file is phpmyadmin.conf :
<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
You can set them to allow connections from all IP addresses like follows :
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
I found a simpler fix...
Although the icon was green WAMP still needs to be "Put Online" (last item of menu when left-clicking icon).
After that I had access as normal.
For me the inclusion of "Require local" helped to solve Error 403. The alias config file looks like this:
Alias /mytest/ "C:/mytest/"
<Directory "C:/mytest/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require local
</Directory>
The solution for changing the permissions in the httpd.conf will work if you are OK with providing access to the WAMP server from outside.
If you do not want to do that then all you have to do is tell windows that the "localhost" domain points to 127.0.0.1. You can do that by editing the hosts file in your system directory.
The file is placed at : C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
by default windows 7 ships with :
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
You have to un-comment the mapping for localhost:
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
Note: you will not be able to edit the hosts file as its a read-only file. To edit, you have to be the administrator, copy the file to some other location, edit it and then copy it back to the etc directory.
I do not recommend the change of the hosts file. Use the permissions of httpd.conf file. use the hosts file approach only if you do not want the server accessed from outside.
Try adding the following lines of code to the file httpd-vhosts.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin serveradmin#host.com
DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
Another thing I found out is that if your network adapter uses IPV6, it will not show as 127.0.0.1 but ::1
What I ended up doing is this:
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
</Directory>
The same goes for your PHPMyAdmin access, the config file is phpmyadmin.conf :
<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
</Directory>
For Wamp 3.1.3 and Apache 2.4 I simply had to change 1 line in my httpd-vhosts.conf file.
Open httpd-vhosts.conf
Change "Require local" to "Require all granted"
Restart all services
I was then able to get to my apache server from other computers.
Give credit to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy_f6wBGnjI
if you have used localhost/phpmyadmin/
simply use
127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/ for PHPMyAdmin
127.0.0.1/sqlbuddy/ for SQLBuddy
or if you have used localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/ then
127.0.0.1:8080/phpmyadmin/ for PHPMyAdmin
127.0.0.1:8080/sqlbuddy/ for SQLBuddy
Remember to remove dummy elements in httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/docs/dummy-host.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host.example.com
ServerAlias www.dummy-host.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host2.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/docs/dummy-host2.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host2.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
For Apache version 2.4.x simply replace Require local with Require all granted in httpd.conf file inside <Directory "c:/wamp/www/"> tag then Restart all services
There could many causes to this problems
What I have experienced are:
1) 127.0.0.1 localhost entry was duplicated in hosts file
2) Apache mod_rewrite was not enabled
Regardless of the cause, backing up your www folder, vhost configuration file (and httpd configuration file) will help.
And such process takes a few minutes.
Good luck
I read & tried All Fixes But Not one worked. At last i Found that the Wamp Server Logo Is Green But Need to Be "PUT ONLINE".
So simple & a Quick Fix After Checking Your PHPMyAdmin.Cofg & HttPD.cofg Just Click on PUT ONLINE
I tried the configs above and only this worked for my WAMP Apache 2.4.2 config. For multiple root site without named domains in your Windows hosts file, use http://locahost:8080, http://localhost:8081, http://localhost:8082 and this configuration:
#ServerName localhost:80
ServerName localhost
Listen 8080
Listen 8081
Listen 8082
#.....
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "c:\www"
ServerName localhost
<Directory "c:/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8081>
DocumentRoot "C:\www\directory abc\svn_abc\trunk\httpdocs"
ServerName localhost
<Directory "C:\www\directory abc\svn_abc\trunk\httpdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
#<VirtualHost *:8082></VirtualHost>.......
I faced this issue with wamp on windows 7. Adding following code to httpd-vhosts.conf solved the issue for me.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "F:/wamp_server/www/"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
Thanks for your question.
I'am using wamp 3 now.
And I find an simple answer to do this under your question.
But that answer should change a little on wamp 3.
The steps are as following:
Right click wamp icon
Choose Wamp Setting
Click the Menu item:online/offline
Left click wamp icon
You will find there is a new item called "Put online"
It took me forever to figure this out.
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
In this file you will notice several example virtual host files, that look like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/docs/dummy-host.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host.example.com
ServerAlias www.dummy-host.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host2.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/docs/dummy-host2.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host2.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
Simply delete these entries and replace with:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin serveradmin#host.com
DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
You definitely need to make sure your other ducks are in a row but this for me with the solution that worked.
hi there are 2 solutions :
change the port 80 to 81 in the text file (httpd.conf)
and click 127.0.0.1:81
change setting the network
go to control panel--network and internet--network and sharing center
click-->local area connection
select-->propertis
check true in the -allow other .....
and --- allo other .....
I had this problem too. The route of my problem was I had made a mistake in my vhosts.conf file. If you are using vhosts this is another thing to check
This configuration in httpd.conf work fine for me.
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1 ::1
</Directory>
Make sure you aren't using a Windows' directory separator character (backslash) in your path names in your .conf file, even if you are on Windows. Apache doesn't understand them but will still start up and then output a 403 Forbidden Message.
wrong:
<Directory "c:\websites\my-website\">
right:
<Directory "c:/websites/my-website/">
Surprisingly, square brackets in DocumentRoot (and related, like <Directory>) paths can also cause error 403:
DocumentRoot "P:/TRY/web/fatfree/from_github/fatfree-master[bang]" failed with 403, while
DocumentRoot "P:/TRY/web/fatfree/from_github/fatfree-master" worked fine.
(I didn't bother figuring out the Apache path escaping, if any, just renamed the path instead. If anyone knows, comments are welcome.)
My solution was to disable encoding for encoded files (these files are green in windows). Ive got these files from MAC computer and it was encrypted by default.
Ive select these files > right click > properities > general tab > andvanced > uncheck encrypt files...
And voila it works.
I have tried all the stuff except clearing the mess in .htaccess file.
Go to www/ directory and make a copy of .htaccess file in another folder. Then clear all the lines in .htaccess original file.
And add this line,
RewriteEngine On
Then restart the server.
This has solved my problem and got access to all my localhost sites.
Hope it would solve yours too.
Also on Apache 2,4 you may need to add this to the directory directive in conf,
in case you decided to include httpd-vhosts.conf.
By default you can install wamp in C:\ but still choose to deploy your web development in another location.
To do this inside the vhosts.conf you can add this directive:
<Directory "e:/websites">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
<IfDefine APACHE24>
Require local
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine !APACHE24>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
Allow from localhost ::1 127.0.0.1
</IfDefine>
</Directory>
make sure that, the name of the file in the directory c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.1.3.1/, match the name (or version) in the phpMyAdmin.conf (Alias /phpmyadmin "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.1.3.1/" )
I have found that if you are using ammps that for some reason its always forbidden when its in your root folder so i put it in the directory above my root folder and made a alias in the httpd.conf using this
Alias /phpmyadmin "C:/Program Files (x86)/Ampps/phpMyAdmin"
please note i am using ammps and i dont know for sure if it will work for others but its worth a try ;)
