Feel like I am going slightly mad/round in a circle here so hoping someone can give me some pointers.
I have a Debian instance on AWS running apache. Inside of my /var/www/ folder I have another folder called dineosaw.com. I have a conf file called dineosaw.com.conf which looks like the following
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin xxxx#gmail.com
ServerName www.dineosaw.com
ServerAlias dineosaw.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/dineosaw.com/public
<Directory /var/www/dineosaw.com/public>
Options -Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I then have forwarded my domain name (www.dineosaw.com) to the server by using the following address: http://52.56.144.228/. This however only took me to the apache default page. So I tried: http://52.56.144.228/dineosaw.com/ but this results in a 404 error.
Can anyone give me any pointers as to what I might be doing wrong/need to look in to? I would be very grateful.
If you want to address this name-based virtual host by IP address, you'd need "ServerAlias 52.56.144.228"
I am trying to setup the virtual host for apache on Mac.
Here is my virtual host setting in /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin localhost
DocumentRoot "/Users/Ivy/Sites/Symfony"
ServerName symfony.dev
ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/symfony.dev-error_log"
CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/symfony.dev-access_log" common
<Directory "/Users/Ivy/Sites/Symfony">
options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Additionally, editing the file in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 symfony.dev
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
192.168.43.168 matrixdemo.squiz.net
But when i go to symfony.dev in the web browser, it cannot connect to. could someone help me on that?
Note: tried to restart the apache several times
Try this it will work
NameVirtualHost *:80
#Do not forget to include server name and server alias in host file
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
DocumentRoot "D:\Local server\htdocs\localhost"
CustomLog logs/localhost.access.log combined
ErrorLog logs/localhost.error.log
</VirtualHost>
You could make it
<VirtualHost symfony.dev>
ServerName symfony.dev
ServerAdmin your.mail#whatever.com
DocumentRoot "/Users/Ivy/Sites/Symfony/web"
ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/symfony.dev-error_log"
CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/symfony.dev-access_log" combined
<Directory "/Users/Ivy/Sites/Symfony/web">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
=> "Directory" instructions should be for your root-symfony-directory/web folder, as your document root.
=> What's this "common" behind your Custom Log directory ? Did you mean "combined" ?
=> In symfony2, you need to make sure that all the requests are directed to you bootstrap - this is where rewrite engine comes in. Oh, But I see this bit has moved into the .htaccess in earlier versions of symfony :o So no need for it here. Note that you have configuration instructions for apache and symfony2 here
There is much more science behind this, but these are the parameters I use for my setup. For more info, read the docs !
I'm using XAMPP on my Windows 7 computer when doing web projects. In my httpd.conf file, DocumentRoot is set up simple, like this:
DocumentRoot "D:/Users/Thinkpad/DropBox/MAMP"
<Directory "D:/Users/Thinkpad/DropBox/MAMP">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
This location is used for work projects, and now I want a separate location just like this one, for private projects. Just have it to point to a different localpath, D:/Users/Thinkpad/DropBox/Web, and preferrably name it something other than localhost. Something like private or something. So my URL will end up looking like this http://private/mywebproject
I've tried looking at documentation for this, but I can't get it to work. Do I need to edit my hosts file for it to work? And what else needs to be set in httpd.conf file?
Edit: So here's the final solution from the httpd-vhosts file
<VirtualHost private:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/Users/Thinkpad/Dropbox/Web"
ServerName private
ErrorLog "logs/dropbox.local-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dropbox.local-access.log" combined
<Directory "D:/Users/Thinkpad/Dropbox/Web">
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost localhost:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/Users/Thinkpad/Dropbox/MAMP"
ServerName private
ErrorLog "logs/dropbox.local-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dropbox.local-access.log" combined
<Directory "D:/Users/Thinkpad/Dropbox/MAMP">
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I had to add the regular localhost as well, even though it was already defined in httpd.conf file.
Also, hosts-file needed to have these two lines:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 private
You have to add new virtual host
by default in C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf add something like
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName private.localhost
DocumentRoot D:/Users/Thinkpad/DropBox/private
</VirtualHost>
and after that you have to edit windows hosts file
append this
127.0.0.1 private.localhost
then restart the xammp
You may take a look to one project that makes this easy https://github.com/vkdimitrov/VhostsEditor
I've configured my httpd-vhosts.conf file as follows:
<VirtualHost seg.localhost:81>
ServerAdmin my#email.com
DocumentRoot "D:\path\to\public_html"
ServerName http://seg.localhost
ServerAlias http://seg.localhost
ErrorLog "logs/seg.log"
CustomLog "logs/seg" common
<directory "D:\path\to\public_html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from all
</directory>
</VirtualHost>
But when I go to http://localhost:81/ in my browser, it's still hitting that folder. Why is the subdomain ignored?
If you are using name based vhosts, the top-most vhost (the first instance of a <VirtualHost> block) is considered the "default" vhost, meaning that if a request is made for a host that doesn't match any of the given <VirtualHost>'s, the top-most one is used.
You can get around this by adding a new top-most vhost that simply denies everything:
<VirtualHost seg.localhost:81>
ServerName _default_
DocumentRoot "D:\path\to\public_html"
<Directory "D:\path\to\public_html">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Or have it redirect to seg.localhost, or however you want to handle it.
I have installed WAMP version 2.1 on my windows 7 machine. When i browse to localhost in my browser, the WAMP server page is visible.
But when I browse to my IP in my browser, I get the message
403 Forbidden: You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Any suggestions?
The access to your Apache server is forbidden from addresses other than 127.0.0.1 in httpd.conf (Apache's config file) :
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
The same goes for your PHPMyAdmin access, the config file is phpmyadmin.conf :
<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
You can set them to allow connections from all IP addresses like follows :
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
I found a simpler fix...
Although the icon was green WAMP still needs to be "Put Online" (last item of menu when left-clicking icon).
After that I had access as normal.
For me the inclusion of "Require local" helped to solve Error 403. The alias config file looks like this:
Alias /mytest/ "C:/mytest/"
<Directory "C:/mytest/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require local
</Directory>
The solution for changing the permissions in the httpd.conf will work if you are OK with providing access to the WAMP server from outside.
If you do not want to do that then all you have to do is tell windows that the "localhost" domain points to 127.0.0.1. You can do that by editing the hosts file in your system directory.
The file is placed at : C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
by default windows 7 ships with :
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
You have to un-comment the mapping for localhost:
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
Note: you will not be able to edit the hosts file as its a read-only file. To edit, you have to be the administrator, copy the file to some other location, edit it and then copy it back to the etc directory.
I do not recommend the change of the hosts file. Use the permissions of httpd.conf file. use the hosts file approach only if you do not want the server accessed from outside.
Try adding the following lines of code to the file httpd-vhosts.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin serveradmin#host.com
DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
Another thing I found out is that if your network adapter uses IPV6, it will not show as 127.0.0.1 but ::1
What I ended up doing is this:
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
</Directory>
The same goes for your PHPMyAdmin access, the config file is phpmyadmin.conf :
<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
</Directory>
For Wamp 3.1.3 and Apache 2.4 I simply had to change 1 line in my httpd-vhosts.conf file.
Open httpd-vhosts.conf
Change "Require local" to "Require all granted"
Restart all services
I was then able to get to my apache server from other computers.
Give credit to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy_f6wBGnjI
if you have used localhost/phpmyadmin/
simply use
127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/ for PHPMyAdmin
127.0.0.1/sqlbuddy/ for SQLBuddy
or if you have used localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/ then
127.0.0.1:8080/phpmyadmin/ for PHPMyAdmin
127.0.0.1:8080/sqlbuddy/ for SQLBuddy
Remember to remove dummy elements in httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/docs/dummy-host.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host.example.com
ServerAlias www.dummy-host.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host2.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/docs/dummy-host2.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host2.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
For Apache version 2.4.x simply replace Require local with Require all granted in httpd.conf file inside <Directory "c:/wamp/www/"> tag then Restart all services
There could many causes to this problems
What I have experienced are:
1) 127.0.0.1 localhost entry was duplicated in hosts file
2) Apache mod_rewrite was not enabled
Regardless of the cause, backing up your www folder, vhost configuration file (and httpd configuration file) will help.
And such process takes a few minutes.
Good luck
I read & tried All Fixes But Not one worked. At last i Found that the Wamp Server Logo Is Green But Need to Be "PUT ONLINE".
So simple & a Quick Fix After Checking Your PHPMyAdmin.Cofg & HttPD.cofg Just Click on PUT ONLINE
I tried the configs above and only this worked for my WAMP Apache 2.4.2 config. For multiple root site without named domains in your Windows hosts file, use http://locahost:8080, http://localhost:8081, http://localhost:8082 and this configuration:
#ServerName localhost:80
ServerName localhost
Listen 8080
Listen 8081
Listen 8082
#.....
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "c:\www"
ServerName localhost
<Directory "c:/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8081>
DocumentRoot "C:\www\directory abc\svn_abc\trunk\httpdocs"
ServerName localhost
<Directory "C:\www\directory abc\svn_abc\trunk\httpdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
#<VirtualHost *:8082></VirtualHost>.......
I faced this issue with wamp on windows 7. Adding following code to httpd-vhosts.conf solved the issue for me.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "F:/wamp_server/www/"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
Thanks for your question.
I'am using wamp 3 now.
And I find an simple answer to do this under your question.
But that answer should change a little on wamp 3.
The steps are as following:
Right click wamp icon
Choose Wamp Setting
Click the Menu item:online/offline
Left click wamp icon
You will find there is a new item called "Put online"
It took me forever to figure this out.
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
In this file you will notice several example virtual host files, that look like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/docs/dummy-host.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host.example.com
ServerAlias www.dummy-host.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host2.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/docs/dummy-host2.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host2.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
Simply delete these entries and replace with:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin serveradmin#host.com
DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
You definitely need to make sure your other ducks are in a row but this for me with the solution that worked.
hi there are 2 solutions :
change the port 80 to 81 in the text file (httpd.conf)
and click 127.0.0.1:81
change setting the network
go to control panel--network and internet--network and sharing center
click-->local area connection
select-->propertis
check true in the -allow other .....
and --- allo other .....
I had this problem too. The route of my problem was I had made a mistake in my vhosts.conf file. If you are using vhosts this is another thing to check
This configuration in httpd.conf work fine for me.
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1 ::1
</Directory>
Make sure you aren't using a Windows' directory separator character (backslash) in your path names in your .conf file, even if you are on Windows. Apache doesn't understand them but will still start up and then output a 403 Forbidden Message.
wrong:
<Directory "c:\websites\my-website\">
right:
<Directory "c:/websites/my-website/">
Surprisingly, square brackets in DocumentRoot (and related, like <Directory>) paths can also cause error 403:
DocumentRoot "P:/TRY/web/fatfree/from_github/fatfree-master[bang]" failed with 403, while
DocumentRoot "P:/TRY/web/fatfree/from_github/fatfree-master" worked fine.
(I didn't bother figuring out the Apache path escaping, if any, just renamed the path instead. If anyone knows, comments are welcome.)
My solution was to disable encoding for encoded files (these files are green in windows). Ive got these files from MAC computer and it was encrypted by default.
Ive select these files > right click > properities > general tab > andvanced > uncheck encrypt files...
And voila it works.
I have tried all the stuff except clearing the mess in .htaccess file.
Go to www/ directory and make a copy of .htaccess file in another folder. Then clear all the lines in .htaccess original file.
And add this line,
RewriteEngine On
Then restart the server.
This has solved my problem and got access to all my localhost sites.
Hope it would solve yours too.
Also on Apache 2,4 you may need to add this to the directory directive in conf,
in case you decided to include httpd-vhosts.conf.
By default you can install wamp in C:\ but still choose to deploy your web development in another location.
To do this inside the vhosts.conf you can add this directive:
<Directory "e:/websites">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
<IfDefine APACHE24>
Require local
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine !APACHE24>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
Allow from localhost ::1 127.0.0.1
</IfDefine>
</Directory>
make sure that, the name of the file in the directory c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.1.3.1/, match the name (or version) in the phpMyAdmin.conf (Alias /phpmyadmin "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.1.3.1/" )
I have found that if you are using ammps that for some reason its always forbidden when its in your root folder so i put it in the directory above my root folder and made a alias in the httpd.conf using this
Alias /phpmyadmin "C:/Program Files (x86)/Ampps/phpMyAdmin"
please note i am using ammps and i dont know for sure if it will work for others but its worth a try ;)
