WampServer

I have created a database with 1 test website already. I have tried to make another website by bringing another wordpress folder into wamp/www, and changed the wpconfig.php to the wamp database I have created. However, when I try to go to the localhost/sitename, it gives me a blank page.

Anyone know how to solve my problem? I'm assuming it's a one step fix

Hi,

You must use VirtualHost, one VirtualHost for each wordpress website : The need for Virtual Host

I don't believe I have a virtual host for my first website, and it runs perfectly. Is there a reason that the second site cannot be set up?

the wamp localhost says I can set up a virtual host, so should I just go through this process?

I have now made a virtual host named "test". However the project linked to it does not open.
"the requested URL /planning was not found on this server"

The "planning url is in wamp\www, and was linked to the virtual host upon inception.

Thoughts on how to fix this?

Hi,

Suppose your first Wordpress local site is called wordpress1 and is in c:/wamp/www/wordpress1/ and the second is called wordpress2 and is in wamp/www/wordpress2/

The content of c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.xx\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf must be
(xx is ne version number of Apache you use)

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName localhost
	DocumentRoot c:/wamp/www
	<Directory  "c:wamp/www/">
		Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
		AllowOverride All
		Require local
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName wordpress1
	DocumentRoot c:/wamp/www/wordpress1
	<Directory  "c:wamp/www/wordpress1/">
		Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
		AllowOverride All
		Require local
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName wordpress2
	DocumentRoot c:/wamp/www/wordpress2
	<Directory  "c:wamp/www/wordpress2/">
		Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
		AllowOverride All
		Require local
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

and the content of C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file must be:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 wordpress1
127.0.0.1 wordpress2
::1 localhost
::1 wordpress1
::1 wordpress2

to launch your local sites , in the adresss bar of the brownser you type : 'http://wordpress1/' or 'http://wordpress2/'
