WampServer

I have created many virtual domains in the past with wampserver, but now everytime i go to the Add a VirtualHost panel and paste in the complete absolute path to the virtualHost and the name of the virtual Host and click “Start the creation of the virtualHost” button I get the error message
c:/users/edkna/onedrive/documents/mysites/site1 does not exist or is not a directory. the directory does exist and i was careful to put the correct path to it.
any ideas why I am getting this message?

thanks!

Hi,

OneDrive problem.

I put the directory on my desktop to avoid OneDrive:

C:\Users\edkna\Desktop\allsites\site1\

but I still get the message:

C:\Users\edkna\Desktop\allsites\site1\ does not exist or is not a directory. the directory does exist

Hi,

c:\Users\Dominique\Desktop\allsites\concorde\ works well.

I think you don't have sufficient rights to access the folder.

It doesn't seem like not having sufficient rights would be the problem. It doesnt matter what folder or where i put it, i get the same message.It worked fine 6 months ago. and it's my computer and I have all administrative rights on it. Any other ideas?

Hi,

> C:\Users\edkna\Desktop\allsites\site1\ does not exist or is not a directory.

Are you sure this is the correct and complete error message, with backslashes in the path?

I ask you this question because, before checking with PHP instructions (file_exists() and is_dir()), any backslashes (\) in the path are replaced by slashes (/) and the error message should have slashes and not backslashes.

the exact error message is:

c:/users/edkna/desktop/allsites/site1 does not exist or is not a directory


I appreciate your help and for sticking with me on this!

what do you think I should try ?

Hi,

You can try to add clearstatcache(); in wamp\www\add_vhost.php file.about on line 332, like this :

	/* Validité du nom de domaine */
	clearstatcache(); // added for update 3.1.4
	if(preg_match('/^
		(?=.*[A-Za-z]) # at least one letter somewhere

For possible explanations see the PHP documentation : clearstatcache

I inserted: clearstatcache();

just before:
if(preg_match('/^
(?=.*[A-Za-z]) # at least one letter somewhere


to make it:

/* Validité du nom de domaine */
clearstatcache();
if(preg_match('/^
(?=.*[A-Za-z]) # at least one letter somewhere



restarted the dns
then did a retry to create the virtual domain
and got the same error message

Hi,

The folder name on the disk must not have whitespaces or tab at the beginning or end because a trim() PHP instruction is done over it : strip_tags(trim($_POST['vh_folder'])). vh_folder is the complete path.

trim
strip-tags

After that, I admit that I don't see what or where to look to find where this problem comes from.
