WampServer

In this topic [forum.wampserver.com] I learned how good and great it is to use VirtualHosts with WampServer. Since then I have come to get the hang of it and things are going pretty well. In fact one does get used to typing out the VH definition and adding the site to the HOSTS file pretty quickly.

Now I am wondering another thing.

Without Virtual Hosts the default localhost site shows the WampServer server configuration. So to speak the home of WampServer.

Here is an image of what I mean to be clear: [lh3.googleusercontent.com]

Now when using Virtual Hosts as soon as I set them up, the default localhost site will change to the site I like to preview.

Question:
Is there a way to keep the default WampServer server configuration site on localhost AND have VirtualHosts defined but loading from e.g. localhost/VirtualHosts/?

Basically I am trying to keep the default WampServer server configuration site on localhost as it is while still being able to use VirtualHosts with other personal projects.


Here [forum.wampserver.com] in the section "Small aside" it says : [The first definition in this file (httpd-vhosts.conf) will also be the default site..].

Is there a way to keep the default WampServer server configuration site in this default state and add all other VirtualHosts after that?

If that is not possible is it possible to define a VirtualHost for the default WampServer server configuration site and like this be able to keep this default WampServer server configuration site?

Basically I am looking for a way to keep the default WampServer server configuration site while being able to add VirtualHosts as well for my personal projects.

Thank you for any help.

Yes Frank,

I think I understand what you mean.

Like I said in the document, make the Virtual Host definition for 'localhost' the first VH in the httpd-vhost.conf file.

"Very important, first we must make sure that localhost still works so that is the first VHOST definition we will put in this file." !!!
<========

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

Sometimes one cannot see the forest for the trees.

Thank you!
