WampServer

I see a file named add_vhost.php in the wamp/www directory.

What it its purpose?

Can it be used, somehow, to create virtual hosts in a "automated" fashion? If so, how do you go about using it, do you write a custom page to use it?

Okay, thank for the post reference - I missed that item on the wamp localhost page.

I ran it and defined a virtual host.

The last window in the process says:

-----------------------------
The files have been modified. Virtual host bn.com was created
Messages from the console to update DNS:

You may add another VirtualHost by validate "Add a VirtualHost".
However, for these new VirtualHost are taken into account by Apache, you must run item
Restart DNS
from Right-Click Tools menu of Wampmanager icon. (This can unfortunately not be done automatically)
-------------------------

I know the author is French -- is there a way I can send him a good, native-speaker English version of what he is saying?

I would put it as:

-------------------------------------------------------
The files have been modified and virtual host bn.com was created.

In order for this new host be accessible, you need to Restart the DNS, which is something that can't be done automatically for you.

Right-click on the WAMP icon, then click on the Tools menu item, and then on the Restart DNS item


You can add another VirtualHost by clicking the "Add a VirtualHost" link, above.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Back to my creating a virtual host:

When I click the WAMP icon, hover over Your Virtual Hosts and then click the bn.com item, I get a 500 error:

------------------------------------------------------
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator at wampserver@otomatic.net to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

-------------------------------------------------------

I downloaded wampserver3.0.4_x86_apache2.4.18_mysql5.7.11_php5.6.19-7.0.4.exe yesterday.

I then downloaded and ran the C++ 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14 redist installs. If a "repair" option was offered, I used it.

I then stated WAMP, everything seemed fine.

I've used phpMyAdmin sucessfully and created a database.

Other than going to the local host page - and missing that Add a Virtual Host link - thank you for your reply - I've done nothing else to the WAMP installation except just now creating a virtual host.

Should I, as the message says, send ann email to wampserver@otomatic.net or pursue the matter here, on the forums?

If I should pursue it here, would you recommend me opening a separate topic for it?

---------------------------------------------------------------
Here's what debugging information I could think to include in this post:

In apache_error.log, I see the line:

[Sat May 14 18:22:53.773118 2016] [core:alert] [pid 4948:tid 904] [client 127.0.0.1:50367] C:/wamp/www/bobroot/.htaccess: Invalid command 'Header', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

In the apache access.log file, I see:

127.0.0.1 - - [14/May/2016:18:22:53 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 500 618

I ran the Check httpd.config syntax Tools submenu item, the output was - if you blink you miss it, was Syntax OK

I ran the Check Complier VC, compatibility and ini files, the output was:

Is the line: "Your port 80 is not actually used." a possible problem?

I'm running Win 7 64bit - should I have installed the WAMP 64bit version?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

The problem could not have been any more self evident if it was standing on the top of my monitor waving a flag at me.

The error was about the .htaccess file. --- .htaccess: Invalid command 'Header'


------------------------------------------------------
ErrorDocument 404 "404 page not found"


AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html


Header append X-FRAME-OPTIONS "SAMEORIGIN"
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \/index.shtml\ HTTP [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)index.shtml$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \/index.html\ HTTP [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.bobnovell.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [www.bobnovell.com] [R=301]
------------------------------------------------------

I deleted the file and now I get something other than the 500 error.

I'll open a new post about the new problem.
