I want to set up the subdomain "shop" on my Apache 2.2 server on Windows/XAMPP and it redirects to "index.html" if I enter "shop.localhost" as the URL but once I try to connect via my domain "sv443.net" it redirects to my document root ("/index.html" instead of "/shop/index.html"). Connecting to "sv443.net/shop/" works fine though and even redirects to "index.html".
I'm using Cloudflare to handle the DNS stuff and added these records (I cut off the IP address part):
This is my httpd-vhosts.conf:
NameVirtualHost localhost:80
<VirtualHost localhost:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAdmin sven.fehler#web.de
DocumentRoot "c:/users/sv443/desktop/mamp htdocs"
<Directory "c:/users/sv443/desktop/mamp htdocs">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost shop.localhost:80>
ServerName shop.localhost
ServerAdmin sven.fehler#web.de
DocumentRoot "c:/users/sv443/desktop/mamp htdocs/shop"
<Directory "c:/users/sv443/desktop/mamp htdocs/shop">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And this is my hosts.dat:
(only comments)
2.205.169.73 sv443.net
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost shop.localhost
Also I added this .htaccess file to the shop directory to redirect to the index.html if a 403 or 404 is encountered - removing this file doesn't fix my problem:
ErrorDocument 403 /shop/index.html
ErrorDocument 404 /shop/index.html
If someone tries to connect I get this error message in the Apache error.log:
AH01630: client denied by server configuration: C:/Users/Sv443/Desktop/MAMP htdocs/shop/.html
Thanks for any help!
If you can get content by explicitly specifying "/index.html" but not with "/", you should add DirectoryIndex index.html in your configuration, after loading mod_dir. This will define the default file to look for when it is not specified.
For your VirtualHost:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
LogLevel debug
CustomLog "logs/example_access_log" combined
ErrorLog "logs/example_error_log"
[... REST OF CONFIGURATION ...]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName shop.localhost
ServerAlias shop.example.com
LogLevel debug
CustomLog "logs/shop_access_log" combined
ErrorLog "logs/shop_error_log"
[... REST OF CONFIGURATION ...]
</VirtualHost>
Apache decides which VirtualHost to use for the request based on the domain in the request. If it does not find a match, it uses the first one in the file (here localhost). Therefore you are not pointing to your "shop" sub-domain, unless you specify it in the VirtualHost for it, via ServerAlias ....
Actually I make a clone of a previous site that I have on symfony. I copy all directory and files on a same server and assign other domain. I can not access to this clone thru the www.domain.com. To view my site I need to do this: wwww.domain.com/proyect/web/app.php.
My question is: What I need to do to load my site on principal directory?.
Change Your config of the webpage, e.g.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName www.domain.com
ServerAlias domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/proyect/web/
<Directory /var/www/proyect/web/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
and restart apache
I have created a virtual host with a subdomain, the subdomain's dns is pointed at the server. When I visit the subdomain I get the following error:
The requested URL "/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi" was not found on this server.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias www.domain.com
ServerAlias test.domain.com
ServerAdmin admin#domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/public/domain.com
<Directory "/var/www/public/domain.com">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog /error.log
CustomLog /access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I have tried using *.domain.com as well.
If I use a local host to point domain.com at the server it works as expected, but using localhost does not allow the subdomain to work in either case.
Turns out that my syntax is correct, chrome's dns caching had cached the bad page. Using firefox worked.
I have Joomla installed on a webserver running Ubuntu Server 12.04. The Joomla folder is located at /var/www/cms/.
My vhost file at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default has the following content:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.com/
Redirect permanent / https://domain.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName domain.com:443
DocumentRoot /var/www/cms
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/cms>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
(...)
</VirtualHost>
At the moment, all the requests to domain.com and anything entered after that like domain.com/example gets directed and processed by Joomla which either redirects to a proper page or returns a custom 404 error. This all works.
Now, I would like to filter all the requests that go to domain.com/subfolder before they get processed by Joomla and redirect them to /var/www/subfolder (instead of my root folder at /var/www/cms/).
I believe the file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default (seen above) is the right place to define such a redirect, however I have not been able to figure out at what position and how to achieve this.
You should add to your configuration:
Alias /subfolder /var/www/subfolder
<Directory /var/www/subfolder>
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
and fit the configuration between "Directory" to your needs.
See the Apache documentation to have more informations.
I've got a XAMPP installation running on Windows 7.
As soon as I add a VirtualHost to httpd-vhosts.conf, BOTH the 'regular' http://localhost AND the new dropbox.local aren't working.
This is what I added to my httpd-vhosts.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin postmaster#dummy-host.localhost
DocumentRoot "E:/Documenten/Dropbox/Dropbox/dummy-htdocs"
ServerName dropbox.local
ServerAlias www.dropbox.local
ErrorLog "logs/dropbox.local-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dropbox.local-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
So I looked up my dropbox.local-error.log for any information:
[Thu Feb 02 10:41:57 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: E:/Documenten/Dropbox/Dropbox/dummy-htdocs/
This error seems to be solved by adding
<directory "E:/Documenten/Dropbox/Dropbox/dummy-htdocs">
Allow from all
</directory>
But now I get this error in dropbox.local-error.log:
[Thu Feb 02 10:45:56 2012] [error] [client ::1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: E:/Documenten/Dropbox/Dropbox/dummy-htdocs/
Furthermore when I try to access http://localhost, I dont get any error in the regular error.log, although I get the error 403 when I try to access it.
Can anybody help... It's driving me mad :S
EDIT:
Also in httpd.conf there is the following (I've seen it mentioned multiple times, so before anyone says it):
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.asp index.shtml index.html index.htm \
default.php default.pl default.cgi default.asp default.shtml default.html default.htm \
home.php home.pl home.cgi home.asp home.shtml home.html home.htm
</IfModule>
Okay: This is what I did now and it's solved:
My httpd-vhosts.conf looks like this now:
<VirtualHost dropbox.local:80>
DocumentRoot "E:/Documenten/Dropbox/Dropbox/dummy-htdocs"
ServerName dropbox.local
ErrorLog "logs/dropbox.local-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dropbox.local-access.log" combined
<Directory "E:/Documenten/Dropbox/Dropbox/dummy-htdocs">
# AllowOverride All # Deprecated
# Order Allow,Deny # Deprecated
# Allow from all # Deprecated
# --New way of doing it
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
First, I saw that it's necessary to have set the <Directory xx:xx> options. So I put the <Directory > [..] </Directory>-part INSIDE the <VirtualHost > [..] </VirtualHost>.
After that, I added AllowOverride AuthConfig Indexes to the <Directory> options.
Now http://localhost also points to the dropbox-virtualhost. So I added dropbox.local to <VirtualHost *:80> which makes it as <VirtualHost dropbox.local:80>
FINALLY it works :D!
I'm a happy man! :) :)
I hope someone else can use this information.
For me worked when I changed "directory" content into this:
<Directory "*YourLocation*">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
For me (also XAMPP on Windows 7), this is what worked:
<Directory "C:\projects\myfolder\htdocs">`
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>`
It is this line that would cause the 403:
Order allow,deny
I'm using XAMPP 1.6.7 on Windows 7. This article worked for me.
I added the following lines in the file httpd-vhosts.conf at C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra.
I had also uncommented the line # NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost mysite.dev:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/mysite"
ServerName mysite.dev
ServerAlias mysite.dev
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/mysite">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
After restarting the apache, it were still not working.
Then I had to follow the step 9 mentioned in the article by editing the file 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 mysite.dev
Then I got working http://mysite.dev
Thank you, that worked! But I replaced this
AllowOverride AuthConfig Indexes
with that
AllowOverride All
Otherwise, the .htaccess didn't work: I got problems with the RewriteEngine and the error message "RewriteEngine not allowed here".
Above suggestions didn't worked for me. I got it running on my windows, using inspiration from
http://butlerccwebdev.net/support/testingserver/vhosts-setup-win.html
For Http inside httpd-vhosts.conf
<Directory "D:/Projects">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
##Letzgrow
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/Projects/letzgrow"
ServerName letz.dev
ServerAlias letz.dev
</VirtualHost>
For using Https (Open SSL) inside httpd-ssl.conf
<Directory "D:/Projects">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
##Letzgrow
<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot "D:/Projects/letzgrow"
ServerName letz.dev
ServerAlias letz.dev
</VirtualHost>
Hope it helps someone !!
After so many changes and tries and answers.
For

Xampp Version: Xampp or Xampp portable 7.1.18 / 7.3.7 (control panel v3.2.4)
Installers: win32-7.1.18-0-VC14-installer / xampp-windows-x64-7.3.7-0-VC15-installer
Do not edit other files like httpd-xampp
Stop Apache
Open httpd-vhosts.conf located in **your_xampp_directory**\apache\conf\extra\ (your XAMPP directory might be by default: C:/xampp/htdocs)
Remove hash before the following line (aprox. line 20): NameVirtualHost *:80 (this might be optional)
Add the following virtual hosts at the end of the file, considering your directories paths:
##127.0.0.1
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
ServerName localhost
ErrorLog "logs/localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/localhost-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
##127.0.0.2
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "F:/myapp/htdocs/"
ServerName test1.localhost
ServerAlias www.test1.localhost
ErrorLog "logs/myapp-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/myapp-access.log" common
<Directory "F:/myapp/htdocs/">
#Options All # Deprecated
#AllowOverride All # Deprecated
Require all granted

Edit (with admin access) your host file (located at Windows\System32\drivers\etc, but with the following tip, only one loopback ip for every domain:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 test1.localhost
127.0.0.2 www.test1.localhost
For every instance, repeat the second block, the first one is the main block only for "default" purposes.
I am using xampp 1.7.3. Using inspiration from here: xampp 1.7.3 upgrade broken virtual hosts access forbidden
INSTEAD OF add <Directory> .. </Directory> in httpd-vhosts.conf, I add it in httpd.conf right after <Directory "D:/xampplite/cgi-bin"> .. </Directory>.
Here is what I add in httpd.conf:
<Directory "D:/CofeeShop">
AllowOverride All
Options All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
And here is what I add in httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:8001>
ServerAdmin postmaster#dummy-host2.localhost
DocumentRoot "D:/CofeeShop"
ServerName localhost:8001
</VirtualHost>
I also add Listen 8001 in httpd.conf to complete my setting.
Hope it helps
For many it's a permission issue, but for me it turns out the error was brought about by a mistake in the form I was trying to submit. To be specific i had accidentally put a "greater than" sign after the value of "action". So I would suggest you take a second look at your code.
