I dont know why I see this Apache test page when I've configured my virtual host to point to my project?
Server settings
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName malltomobiledev.com
DocumentRoot /home/dcms/public/html/dcms/app/web
<Directory "/home/dcms/public/html/dcms/app/web">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Apache restarted fine, so it was access the folders fine.
My host file
Ip malltomobiledev.com
Any ideas guys?
If you're using apache 2.2, make sure you have NameVirtualHost *:80 set in your main apache config file, otherwise apache will use the default virtual host, which points to the test page.
You can check the configured virtual hosts using apachectl -S

The problem
When I start Apache and I access to localhost is all right. The problem comes when I try to reach test.local: the browser returns a This site can’t be reached message. It's like XAMPP ignores the custom domain vhosts defined into httpd-vhost.conf file. The same message is displayed with the server off.
This site can’t be reached
The webpage at http://test.local/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_ADDRESS_INVALID
A few days ago the setup was working and the only changes that I made was the new software installation. I mean, no changes in Apache config files.
If all your stack were working correctly before, don't be like me and don't forget to check if some browser extension is blocking your local traffic, like some extension related with an antivirus system.
In my case it was the Kaspersky Protection extension. When something goes wrong, it shows the following graphic.

Have you updated your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file with a mapping like this this?
add this line to the end of the hosts file
127.0.0.1 test.local
the localhost domain works without this mapping, because the OS already recognizes "localhost" as a built in alias for the loopback IP address
(this suggestion is assuming that you are running and testing on the same local machine)
Before marking this as answered, please read the entire thing because yes there is a good amount of these questions but NONE of the answers on them have worked at all.
For the last 6 months I've looked at around 50 different form posts here and around the web to try and get my XAMPP virtual hosts working.

I'm at a loss of what to do, I've tried putting all fields to localhost then to instancegaming.net but nothing seems to work. I've read the Apache log and there's only SSL errors floating around.
When I try going to [ http:// ] vws.localhost, vws.192.168.0.47, vws.instancegaming.net all of which give the same error in chrome:
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
Then I tried emptying chromes host cache, but that didn't help either.
Sidenote: I reinstalled XAMPP 4 times trying to make this work.
Follow these steps if you are in windows environment (7 & 10 tested) with XAMPP:
Add in hosts file [C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc]
127.0.0.1 vws.localhost
127.0.0.1 instancegaming.net
127.0.0.1 vws.instancegaming.net
Add this in httpd.conf [C:\__Server\apache\conf] . though some says there are security risks with this but couldn't find a way without this
<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all granted
</Directory>
Add these in httpd-vhosts.conf [C:\__Server\apache\conf\extra]
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "C:\__Server\htdocs"
<Directory "C:\__Server\htdocs">
DirectoryIndex index.php

</VirtualHost>
Note 1: My xampp installed on C:\__Server location
Note 2 : My folder name is laravel.test.com.at and its in E: drive E:\laravel.test.com.at
Note 3: Always copy folder location from address bar in windows explorer, so there is no mistakes.
Note 4: You must restart XAMPP after editing httpd-vhosts.conf every time.
Note 5: Use uncommon part in url [i.e .com.at] so that it is unique and there is no issue resolving dns.
Update: troubleshoot#Jacob Jewett
After a fresh copy of XAMPP installation in C drive -
just add/append these line in httpd-vhosts.conf file
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs"
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs">
DirectoryIndex index.php
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName vws.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\vws"
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory "C:\xampp\vws">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Add append this in httpd.conf file
<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all granted
</Directory>
ADD PATH variable for php [C:\xampp\php], and also check that there isn't another php path in the PATH variable.
restart xampp and browse localhost
Additionally make sure that the line
Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
is not quoted out in httpd.conf
The answer I found that works is to to this in the hosts file.
192.168.0.47 localhost somthing.instancegaming.net
One thing I'd like to add here: For anyone who is sure everything is setup correctly, make sure you don't use any underscores in the alias string within your hosts file; for some reason it can't accept underscores.
I have similar issue, vhosts not working. But in my case I found there was the permission issue with host file. Hope this helps for some one. hosts file ignored, how to troubleshoot?
If pings are successful but a Virtual Host is not working with XAMPP 7.3.1 and Windows 10 Pro the problem may be interference with the World Wide Web Publishing Service.
On my system, Apache and MySQL start successfully but the virtual host cannot be browsed till I stop the WWWPS service (in Windows Services). The virtual host then becomes instantly available. It instantly stops working when the WWWPS is started again.
I fixed the problem by just restarting my computer after setting up the System32 file hosts and the apache vhosts.
I have XAMPP running on Windows 7 Pro. I am trying to setup a Virtual Host so that when I use "dev.app" as a domain I get directly to my public folder of laravel installation.
Laravel is located at F:/xampp/htdocs/dev/public
I opened the httpd-vhosts.conf file located at F:\xamp\apache\conf\extra\https-vhosts.conf
and replaced everything with this
# Virtual Hosts

# Required modules: mod_log_config

AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
then I opened my hosts file located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and added changed the localhost line to look like this
127.0.0.1 localhost dev.app
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
However, when I go to dev.app in my browser I get this error
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at app.dev.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
What am I missing here?
What did I do wrong?
Note: I restarted Apache after I change the vhosts file. Also, I updated the app.php file in the config folder of laravel to have http://dev.app value in the url.
UPDATED
after adding http://.... the site resolve but the images are not showing.
The hosts file should look like this so that it can be found on the IPV4 and IPV6 networks
127.0.0.1 localhost dev.app
::1 localhost dev.app
If you are using Apache 2.4.x this line in httpd-vhosts.conf
NameVirtualHost *:80
is no longer required or allowed for Apache 2.4.
The vhost file should look like this, you mixed Apache 2.2 and 2.4 syntax and while either is allowed as long as you have mod_access_compat activated, you should not mix them and the 2.4 syntax is better. You also missed a few other useful bits and pieces

When using http://localhost and http://127.0.0.1 from the browser, Apache directs me to /Library/WebServer/Documents/xxx/index.html instead of /Library/WebServer/Documents/index.html, how can I fix it?, please guide.
Thanks.
I had the same problem today.
I found solution here: httpd.apache.org/docs/current/vhosts/name-based.html.
Main host goes away
Any request that doesn't match an existing is handled by the global server configuration, regardless of the hostname or ServerName.
When you add a name-based virtual host to an existing server, and the virtual host arguments match preexisting IP and port combinations, requests will now be handled by an explicit virtual host. In this case, it's usually wise to create a default virtual host with a ServerName matching that of the base server. New domains on the same interface and port, but requiring separate configurations, can then be added as subsequent (non-default) virtual hosts.
I am sure this is a simple one:
I have vagranted up a machine and setup the LAMP, and the IP is configured to 10.0.0.10.
In my Windows machine, I have modified the hosts file and added one entry named as "rsywx_remote". The ping from my Windows machine to my vagrant machine is OK. Load the "rsywx_remote" in browser from my Windows machine is also fine. The connectivity is of no problem.
I then SSH to my vagrant machine and modified the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf like this:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot "/www/rsywx/web"
ServerName rsywx_remote
ServerAlias rsywx_remote
<Directory "/www/rsywx/web">
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Deny from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Restarted my vagrant Apache service, and it still points to the default page, not the one I expected.
Any hints?
Try:
<VirtualHost *:80>
That will listen on all addresses
