I have on my machine wampp server installed that I use to run php applications.
There are many folder in the htdocs with inside my projects and I can see those in the browser at this url: localhost/folder-name/.
I'd like to see every project in a custom url like: dev.name-folder.com
With IIS is very easy to do that, can someone explain how do that with Apache, using wampp server?
Thanks.
You can change your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file to map domain names like dev.name-folder.com to your local system. (Otherwise you'll have to use a DNS server).
To configure a vhost in apache create a file for each domain/project you'd like to serve:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin email#domain.tld
ServerName domain.tld
DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs/domain.tld/html
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/htdocs/domain.tld/html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
ServerName is the domain name you'd like to serve your files under. DocumentRoot must be set to the absolute path to your files (here taken from a linux system).

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 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
Centos 7.1 and apache 2.4 - We have installed a new drive in our server and want to move all of our sites to that drive (mounted as /data) and sites are located in /data/vhosts
When trying to access the site we are presented with the apache welcome screen. I can confirm that the vhost is loaded as trying changing the permissions of the dir above results in a forbidden access. There is also an index.php file located in /data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com/public_html
# IP has been changed for example:
<VirtualHost 91.91.91.91:80>
DocumentRoot "/data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com/public_html"
ServerName test.mydomain.com
<Directory /data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com>
Options All
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
UPDATE 1:
I have deleted the welcome.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ and I am not given a forbidden 403. It is important to note that this is a new drive and no permissions has been set on /data (or sub folders) for apache. I am not entirely sure if that makes a difference?
I have also made some slight alternations to the vhost conf file but no difference:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com/public_html"
ServerName test.mydomain.com
<Directory "/data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com">
AllowOverride None
# Allow open access:
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /data/vhosts/test.mydomain.com/public_html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I have two separate Django projects that I want to serve up from the same machine. I'm trying to set up my VirtualHost configurations in apache to serve them up. I know I can serve them up on separate ports, but I'd rather do it based on the request URL. So example.com/app1 would go to one app and example.com/app2 would go to the other. ServerName and ServerAlias won't work since they only look at the Host, which in both cases would just be example.com. Is there any way to do this?
The ServerPath directive looked promising but it looks like, since it was only meant as a fallback for older browsers, apache only looks at ServerPath if the browser doesn't supply the Host field in the request.
Update: Here is what the VirtualHost configuration for my first app looks right now.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAlias *
WSGIScriptAlias /app1 /home/eyuelt/app1/app1/wsgi.py
Alias /app1/static /home/eyuelt/app1/staticfiles
<Directory /home/eyuelt/app1/app1>
<Files wsgi.py>
Order deny,allow
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
<Directory /home/eyuelt/app1/staticfiles>
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I have users who want to run their own Symfony projects under their home directories, but I can't get Symfony to work properly. In my Apache2 config file, I set the userdir as:
UserDir sfproject/web
But the DocumentRoot has to be:
/var/www/sfproject/web
This requirement is there because when we deploy the code to production, we don't want to change the Apache config file. And everything is going to be under that directory.
The problem is that when we go to a user directory: dev.server.com/~asdf
Symfony gives a 404 error: Empty module and/or action after parsing the URL "/index.php" (/).
I don't understand what's wrong. We want them to see their individual projects in their home directories. I looked at some other people setting up Symfony in shared hosting environments, but this is not a shared hosting environment. This is a dedicated server and I have root. Thank you for your help. Here is the relevant parts of my Apache config:
UserDir sfproject/web
<Directory "/usr/share/php/data/symfony/web/sf">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/sfproject/web"
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory "/var/www/sfproject/web">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
Alias /sf /usr/share/php/data/symfony/web/sf
<Directory "/usr/data/symfony/web/sf">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I think something like the following would be closer to a solution.
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/sfproject/web"
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory "/var/www/sfproject/web">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
# or is the dir /usr/share/php/data/symfony/data/web/sf ?
Alias /sf /usr/share/php/data/symfony/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf
<Directory "/usr/share/php/data/symfony/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
The paths from your excerpt does not look good I guess. Try it out and let us know if it works.
