WampServer

I have had install a new copy of wamp, but despite implementing all the setting in the forum stickies, it is not working.

the issue is that my project files do not open, even though I have set them up as virtual hosts in httpd-vhosts.conf, hosts, wampmanager.tpl file etc. as per the tutorials and below:

vhosts.conf


<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "d:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
<Directory "d:/wamp/www">
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "d:/wamp/www/project1"
ServerName project1
<Directory "d:/wamp/www/project1">
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "d:/wamp/www/test"
ServerName test
<Directory "d:/wamp/www/test">d
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

hosts

27.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 wordpress
127.0.0.1 test
127.0.0.1 project1

::1 localhost
::1 test
::1 wordpress
::1 project1

I am running the latest 2.5 version of wamp 32bit, I have win 10 pro 64bit, and have made changes to windows web services as recommended.

the wamp icon is on green

I have spent a full day going over the tutorials, but cannot find out what is wrong, my last resort is to come to the forums and ask the question.

First, did you check that WAMPServer's base install worked before going on to define Virtual Hosts?

Do not work is not a particularly helpful descriptions. Can you be more specific please



Minor bug in vhost definintions

hi, thanks for your response and pointing out the minor typo in Vhosts which has now been corrected.

I did check the base install prior to me adding the vhosts in so much as everything looked as if it was working ok and the "W" icon was green I could access phpadmin and the home page localhost was viewable as expected. but at that point had no projects until setting them up in Vhost.

After I did set them up as shown in in the previous post, I can see them appear in "My Virtual Hosts" in the wampmanager menu but in the "test" VH for example where I have placed a basic hello world index.php file just to make sure it is working as expected, I find that clicking on My Virtual Hosts>test only takes me to the "localhosts" page and NOT to the index.php page within that folder.

And while the "test" folder appears in "your projects" list in localhost page and it is clickable, upon clicking it, it resolves back to the localhost page again.

So basically the issue seems to be that I can set up VHosts ok, but the content of those folders are not displaying?

I hope that clarifies it a little more for you?

thanks again

Ok

If you enter what you believe to be a valid domain name ( valid because you have a VH and an entry in the HOSTS file ) and it takes you to localhost ( actually to the first VH definition in the VH Def file ) it means there is an issue somewhere with the VH Definition for that domain name.

Apache will default to the first VALID VH Definition when it cannot find the domain name for some reason.

Try changing your Virtual Host Definitions to this :-

Note the addition of

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

# Should be the first VHOST definition so that it is the default virtual host
# Also access rights should remain restricted to the local PC and the local network
# So that any random ip address attack will recieve an error code and not gain access

<VirtualHost *:80>
   DocumentRoot "d:/wamp/www"
   ServerName localhost
   <Directory "d:/wamp/www">
      AllowOverride All
      Require local
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
   DocumentRoot "d:/wamp/www/project1"
   ServerName project1
   <Directory "d:/wamp/www/project1">
      AllowOverride All
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      Require local
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
   DocumentRoot "d:/wamp/www/test"
   ServerName test
   <Directory "d:/wamp/www/test">
      AllowOverride All
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      Require local
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Thanks RiggsFolly,

I have changed using your suggestion and nothing has changed, though I realised that I may have misled you in so much as when browsing to My Virtual Hosts > test, the browser resolves to test/ in the address bar, but the localhost page is displayed, wheras the contents of the test folder is index.php that outputs "this is a test"

sorry to to have confused you.

regards

What browser are you using, out of interest?

Chromodo which is based on chromium

Can you try it in IE and Firefox, to see what if anything different happens.

I have changed to firefox, but still no change to the issue, sorry

Would you like to try a Team Viewer session. I can see whats actually going on then.

If YES then, send me a Private Message (see link in Go to: menu on the post menu)

Send me your TV ID and PASSWORD and we will see if we cannot TroubleShoot this together,

Hi,

@paul1107 Please edit your first message to add [solved] at the beginning of the subject.

@RiggsFolly Be careful not to get to big for your boots!

OK, thanks, added solved to title of first entry

Problem was simply that the Include of the `httpd-vhost.conf` file had been removed from the `httpd.conf` file. Therefore the Virtual Hosts were not being created by Apache.
