WampServer

Hi guys,

I like the idea of controlling aliases from the wampserver GUI menu, but I think it would be even more useful to be able to setup VirtualHosts via point-and-click as well... Obviously this would require modifying the windows hosts file as well to point that host to 127.0.0.1...
This would make development much easier!!

What do people think?

Hi,

I work on the subject of VirtualHost. An evolution of the page wamp/www/index.php now shows and links VirtualHost based on the contents of C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf.

With Wampserver 2.5, you can have a submenu in the Wampmanager icon that shows VirtualHost:
In the file C:\wamp\wampmanager.tpl you can replace the line
(That after [Menu.Left] ;WAMPMENULEFTSTART) :

;WAMPPROJECTSUBMENU
by
;WAMPVHOSTSUBMENU

Don't forget the semicolon at the beginning)

It lacks an item to create the VirtualHost and edit the hosts file.
But for the changes to be taken into account without the need to reboot, you must stop and restart two services:
Dnscache for hosts file
wampapache for VirtualHost
