I am using wamp on windows 7. I have had no issues until I installed zend and set up a virtual host. I am getting a 403 when trying to access my local host now.
In my httpd-vhosts.conf:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/path to project"
ServerName .local
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
<Directory "C:/wamp/path to project">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
In my httpd.conf:
Listen 80
The path to the project is read, write, modify.
As far as I can tell I have the virtual host configured correctly yet I am getting 403s.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Maybe in your httpd.conf there is AllowOverride None set for your c:/wamp/ directory, which is why you can't change it.

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)
I add the following codes in httpd-vhost.conf file.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/mmcast"
ServerName mmcast.dev
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/mmcast">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Although I can run the Apache and MySQL in XAMPP but I cannot call my vhost. I got "Unable to connect" error in when I call mmcast.dev in browser.
Do I need to change <VirtualHost *:80> into 81 ? Because I change Listen 81 in httpd file. But, I tried to change 80 to 81 but it still does not work.
In httpd.conf file, I change like this but it does not work.
<Directory />
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
</Directory>
In hosts file,
127.0.0.1 mmcast.dev
Only http://localhost:81/mmcast/ works. Can anyone help me please?
Very first confirn you have an entry in hosts file -
127.0.0.1 mmcast.dev
Second, check httpd.conf file - there are multiple < directory tag and if necessary make all Require all granted
Third, in httpd-vhost.conf file write bellow lines
# you can put any port whatever you feel comfortable! I normally use 127.0.0.1:144 and counting for every project
Listen 127.0.0.1:81
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:81>
ServerName mmcast.dev
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\mmcast"
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\mmcast">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Fourthly, RESTART XAMPP Server. and try in browser https://127.0.0.1:81
I want to host multiple websites on my computer. I'm using Windows with WAMP server. I already have domains and know how to map them to ip.
I have already edited httpd.conf file to allow virtual hosts.
My httpd-vhosts file looks like this,
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp64/www"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
<Directory "C:/wamp64/www">
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp64/www/testcase"
ServerName test.mydomain.com
<Directory "C:/wamp64/www/testcase">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp64/www/test2"
ServerName test2.mydomain.com
<Directory "C:/wamp64/www/test2">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
The problem is that both my domains open only the first site in this VirtualHost tag.
Example: In this case, both my domains will open the WAMP server configuration page. If I were to move the "testcase" tag above the other, both my domains will open the "testcase" page.
Update:
My subdomains show corresponding pages successfully when I open them on the server. But when I open subdomains on another machine, they open the first entry in the VH.
Update 2: Okay, so this is just out of my understanding now. I thought may be WAMP is not my cup of tea. So I installed XAMPP and made changes to the VH configuration and still ended up with same problem. So I then got rid of XAMPP too and installed WAMPDeveloper Pro. What could go wrong when the software sets up all the configuration files for you, right? But to my surprise, I still have the same problem. The websites work fine when I open them (using actual domain name) on the server itself, but when I open them on machine outside network the first VH entry open for all the domains I open.
Can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks!
Using both Apache2.2 and Apache2.4 syntax gets Apache a litle confused.
So as I assume you are running Apache 2.4 change the VH defs to this
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp64/www/testcase"
ServerName test.mydomain.com
<Directory "C:/wamp64/www/testcase">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp64/www/test2"
ServerName test2.mydomain.com
<Directory "C:/wamp64/www/test2">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Why Apache opens the first site i.e. localhost in this case.
If Apache cannot make sense of a VH def, it ignores it and default to loading the first Virtual Host that was correctly defined in the httpd-vhosts.conf file.
Of course you will also need to amend your c:\windows\system32\driverrs\etc\hosts file to include these domain names
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 test.mydomain.com
127.0.0.1 test2.mydomain.com
::1 localhost
::1 test.mydomain.com
::1 test2.mydomain.com

When I try to access localhost or sk.localhost it gives me 403 error (Wamp is green and Online. Anyone can help please? I don`t know what am I doing wrong here. I tried several methods from Internet but with no luck. Any help would be much appreciated. Best regards, Bogdan.
PHPMyadmin is working.
This is probably because you are using 2 different versions of the access security syntax and Apache is getting confused.
Change your Virtual Host definitions as below to use just the Apache 2.4 syntax and not the Apache 2.2 ones.
Also you should create a VH for localhost as well, as when you implement Virtual Hosts, Apache ignores the definition of localhost in the httpd.conf file.
# Should be the first VHOST definition so that it is the default virtual host
# Also access rights should remain restricted to the local PC
# So that any random ip address attack will recieve an error code and not gain access
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>

The Require local tells Apache to only allow access to a VH domain if the client is on the PC running WampServer(Apache).
If you actually want to allow access from say another PC on your local network, you can add a line like this to the domain you want to access
Require local
Require ip 192.168.1
Or if you want to allow access from anwhere replace those lines with
Require all granted
WARNING Dont allow access to the universe unless you really know what you are doing.
PS The WAMPserver Online/Offline feature only controls access and does not mean APache is running or not. Also once you implement Virtual Hosts it no longer has any relevance and shoudl be set OFFLINE as access control is now held in each individual Virtual Host.
I know that some services uses port 80 and one of them is IIS so i already changed iis config.
Here's my problem, when I am only using httpd.conf to start apache using port 80 it works fine. But currently while going on the steps of configuring Zend Framework 2, when I already edited httpd-vhosts.conf it doesn't work anymore. Please check if my configurations are correct because as far as I can see nothing is wrong. Also tips for troubleshooting is much appreciated.
Here's my config file
httpd.conf
...
ServerName localhost:80
...
<Directory />
AllowOverride FileInfo
Require all denied
</Directory>
httpd-vhosts.conf
...
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\zf2proj\public"
ServerName zf2proj
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\zf2proj\public">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow, deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost <-----should all of this must not begin with #?
127.0.0.1 zf2proj because when i opened hosts it has #
::1 localhost before it. (#127.0.0.1 localhost)
I am using xamp v1.8.3
and Windows 7 x32
After some trials I found the culprit.
This is the culprit
...
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\zf2proj\public">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow, deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
...
When I delete this part of httpd-vhosts.conf xampp's apache starts.. So now my problem is how to make it work because this configuration is needed. I ended up with this config instead..
...
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\zf2proj\public"
ServerName zf2proj
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
DirectoryIndex index.php
</VirtualHost>
so that my zend framework 2 application will start on zf2proj/public/index.php.. still not encountering any problems so far.
If anyone has any idea what happened here and if you want to add anything to my configuration. Please feel free to answer. As of now I'm gonna mark this as the answer. If anyone has a more clear and concise answer I will gladly change it.
Thanks.
