I'm trying to get a development environment setup in OS X Lion using MAMP. I've historically had MAMP setup using it's defaults, but now I need to have an environment setup with virtualhosts. To do so, I've done the following:
1) Added to the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 test.com
127.0.0.1 my.test.com
2) Edited httpd.conf and httpd-vhosts.conf (both located in the MAMP folder). For httpd.conf, I simply uncommented the Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf line. For httpd-vhosts.conf, I added:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/username/Sites/test.com"
ServerName test.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/username/Sites/my.test.com"
ServerName my.test.com
</VirtualHost>
3) I changed the ports in MAMP to 80 for Apache and 3306 for MySQL.
4) I turned off personal web sharing in system preferences.
Now, with that set, I experience a redirect when I navigate to "test.com" to test.com:8888". I'm not sure where this is coming from. Then, when I go the "http://localhost", I get the "It Works!" greeting suggesting that the OS X Lion Apache server is running.
Am I missing something with this configuration? Any thoughts?
Thanks so much for your help!
I would see what's running on port 8888. lsof can show you what is running on a network port (please note this may also show outbound traffic, so use a discerning eye when checking port 80).
sudo lsof -i :8888
Note that lsof is normally used to 'list open files' in a directory (hence the name). This is a little known use for the utility.

I have multiple sites deployed on xampp. For now, all of the sites are using one port i.e. 80. For this reason, whenever I am logged into one of the sites, I am automatically logged out from the other and vice versa. I have looked at this article to How to run multiple websites on XAMPP on Windows. And tried to follow it but I am unable to do the needful.
I have added one more port to listen
Listen 80
Listen 8080
In my httpd-vhosts.conf I have done the following
NameVirtualHost *:8080
<VirtualHost *:8000>
DocumentRoot "F:\xampp\htdocs\mdc"
ServerName localhost:8080
<\VirtualHost>
After doing this I have turned off my xampp and then tried to restart apache and mysql. But apache is not starting
My URL is http://localhost:8080/mdc/backend/web
Note: Without doing any virtual host setting the above URL is accessible on both 80 and 8080 ports
Update 1
Herer is my httpd.conf file
This is not a fix for your issue, Here i will explain how i manage multiple websites on xampp.
First i assumes that your using windows
i always use the same port with different server names.
on : E:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf (In my case i installed xampp on E drive)
i added this code
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "e:/xampp/htdocs/mysite1"
ServerName mysite1.flames.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "e:/xampp/htdocs/mysite2"
ServerName mysite2.flames-team.com
</VirtualHost>
And on ( C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) my windows host file i added this lines
127.0.0.1 mysite1.flames.com
127.0.0.1 mysite2.flames-team.com
With this approach you can access the site with a clean readable URLs
In this case if you want to see the first site just enter this URL mysite1.flames.com on browser.
Cheers
Write the closing tag </VirtualHost> instead of <\VirtualHost> in the file httpd-vhosts.conf. I did it and it worked for me.
Created a new Laravel project in htdocs in MAMP. Followed all the steps, added virtual hosts, changed conf file, etc/hosts, restarted mamp and my pc several times but I just can't get my virtual host to run.
however, when I am in the MAMP Dashboard I can navigate to my website -> website -> public and the default Laravel boilerplate page appears.
Has anyone had this issues with MAMP before? I gave up with XAMPP and Valet so it's my last chance here..
Specs
High Sierra 10.13.5 on 2015 MBP,
Composer version 1.6.5,
php 7.2.7

etc/hosts
##
# Host Database

# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface

##
127.0.0.1 localhost
#255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
#::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 website.dev
website.dev is technically a public url, so the browser is looking for it on the internet I guess. I was trapped once in this dreadful situation. changing the name to something like website.local should solve your issue. It did for me.
I made a subdomain on Localhost over Xampp with following code in httpd-vhosts.conf (guide from different sources)
NameVirtualHost *:80 (uncommented by removing #)
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/sub
ServerName sub.localhost.com
</VirtualHost>
and following code into hosts of Windows/System32/drivers/etc/
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 sub.localhost
now the problem is subdomains are not working. One more thing I just noticed that when I start apache service in Xampp Control Panel, it has set the port as 80,443 for Apache which is good but as soon as I hit localhost in browser it changes port to different ports like 52352 etc. I also tried to setting up code in hosts file as
127.0.0.1:80 localhost
127.0.0.1:80 sub.localhost
but not working. I tried many other things but all in vein. While a month before I created successfully in the same Xampp Installation. off course i have created sub directory in htdocs.
Make sure you have this line uncommented in httpd.conf
#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Remove this line in httpd-vhosts.conf (or comment it out):
NameVirtualHost *:80
Make sure you have a blank line at the end of both httpd-vhosts.conf and hosts, and make sure you're using tabs to separate IPs with their associated domains in the hosts file.
Make sure another application is not using ports 80, 443 (Skype for example).
Ultimately, restart your Apache server.
If you want to create sub directory, *emphasized text*127.0.0.1:80 localhost*emphasized text*
the settings back to original and change only *emphasized text*DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/sub*emphasized text*
So, I've been setting up this HTTP server for a school project that has to be able to maintain multiple domains through virtual hosts. Using XAMPP I have my server set up, I thought I'd done it properly but perhaps not.
I had heaps of issues with not being able to listen to a port, to solve this I used (in httpd.conf under apache/conf/)
Listen 0.0.0.0:8080
ServerName localhost:8080
If I used 80/81/8080/321/any combination that did not have the prefix 0.0.0.0 it told me the port could not be listened or whatever (sorry, a little rusty with my syntax).
I set up my first virtual host up like so (under apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf):
NameVirtualHost *:8080
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "H:/xampp2/xampp/htdocs"
ServerName localhost:8080
<Directory "H:/xampp2/xampp/htdocs">
Option Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I thought this seemed all good and well and I don't believe I've modified anything else. To me, I would expect that this means my Apache server would use port 8080 for the server? However, when I start Apache in XAMPP it states quite clearly
Apache started [Port 80]
Why would this be port 80?
In conjunction, localhost:8080 doesn't navigate me to the documents, but localhost:80 or localhost do. I presume that this just means it's still on port 80. I've tried resetting my computer and XAMPP.
If you need any more information, please let me know. I tried following guides such as this one: http://ailoo.net/2008/07/set-up-multiple-virtual-hosts-on-xampp-for-windows/
Cheers.
Oh, I also edited my Windows HOSTS file; it looks like so:
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost:8080
Edit: New error... Now getting this when I init, doesn't seem to be affecting it though:
ERROR: Status Check Failure [3]
This program must be run from your XAMPP root directory.
It is being run from teh root directory as far as I can tell.
Ok Im not advanced in this area either. However after much playing around with XAMPP and following a few different guides I got mine working.
The Host under drivers seems abit weird. I declared mine as:
127.0.0.1:8080 test.localhost.com
127.0.0.1:8080 test2.localhost.com
Back up you Xampp, then extract a clean install to C: - Just because that Status check failure sounds like bad news.
!Remember to run setup_xampp.bat from the xampp directory and install the apache service!
Then under you httpd.conf add:
ServerRoot C:\xampp\apache
Listen 7070
Listen 8080
Listen 9090
Apache might not like that at first but meh.
The ServerRoot may already be declared above the Listen spot so just double check.
After that head to C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra.
Edit the httpd-vhosts.conf.
Under the section Name-based virtual hosting add:
NameVirtualHost *:7070
NameVirtualHost *:8080
NameVirtualHost *:9090
There will be a couple of examples of virtual hosts below that. Add:
<VirtualHost *:7070>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/www/YOURWEBSITEDIR1"
ServerName test.localhost.com
<Directory "C://xampp/www/YOURWEBSITEDIR1">
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:9090>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/www/YOURWEBSITEDIR2"
ServerName test2.localhost.com
<Directory "C://xampp/www/YOURWEBSITEDIR2">
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Not the double slash in the Directory tag. Now ensure there is an index.html under each of those directories. Restart the apache (Stop, start).
I cant navigate to the test.localhost.com URLs, probably due to the fact they are terribly wrong in the HOSTs config. Though I can connect to 127.0.0.1:7070, 127.0.0.1:9090 and access the webpages from there.
Also 127.0.0.1:8080 connects me to the xampp welcome panel that localhost used to connect you too.
Hope this helps and good luck!
I'm pretty sure that saying 'listening on port 80' is hard-coded into XAMPP, regardless of the port you use. Thus, your code should work fine.
In my .conf file, it just says "listen 80" instead of Listen 0.0.0.0:8080
Cheers.
I have an apache server installed on my portable windows 7 machine using xampp as an interface. I've been working with a few people on an irc channel but must soon go to bed and replies are getting slower.
I have the following code added to my httpd.conf file:
#virtual servers
#Listen 80
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost.MEALS
DocumentRoot C:\xampp\htdocs\MEALS
DirectoryIndex index.php
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost.HA
DocumentRoot C:\xampp\htdocs\Hackers
DirectoryIndex index.php
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost.WIK
DocumentRoot C:\xampp\htdocs\WhoIKnow
DirectoryIndex index.php
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost.TUS
DocumentRoot C:\xampp\htdocs\Unity
DirectoryIndex index.php
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost.PHP
DocumentRoot C:\xampp\htdocs\phpMyAdmin
DirectoryIndex index.php
</VirtualHost>
And I have the following configuration:
Setting environment for using XAMPP for Windows.
John#ASSIMILATER C:\xampp

However when I try to access localhost.PHP in my web browser it tells me the server is not found. I was instructed that I need to resolve the host names on my machine. I was directed to a few irc channels (dns and windows) to which there was no reply. I searched google and ran across this site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727005.aspx#EEAA. I'm not quite sure what I'm reading and as near as I can tell it doesn't quite give me a clear instruction on where to resolve the host name or a file to edit.
Also currently the default server is the top virtual server in the code. I would like to call localhost and show a simple html page I created which is in "htdocs/index.html" which will navigate to the other servers (links pointing to "localhost.PHP" etc). is there a way to have the default server remain "localhost" which points to "htdocs/index.html" while maintaining the other virtual servers, or will I have to create another virtual server and make that the default?
Any and all help appreciated.
edit: I had someone help me find the HOSTS file on my machine but am unable to edit it. I turned off all antivirus features, turned off spybot (UAC was always off and I always run with administrator privileges) specifically right clicked on np++ editpadlite and windows notepad and was only able to edit in notepad, but was required to save the file with a different name.
You have to explicitly run Notepad as an administrator (regardless of UAC settings) and when you go to save, make sure you select 'all files' rather than the default *.txt.
I found the same thing when I tried to edit the hosts file on W7, but it seems that just being an administrator on the machine isn't quite the same as explicitly running the program as an administrator.
