WampServer

I'm asking for your help not only because of the errors on the localhost WampServer home page (see below), but also because in the Your Projects section there is a warning notice.

Further, from Your Projects, all project links lead to either the front page for the project concerned or to a directory list, except one - xyz. This returns
Not Found
The requested URL /xyz/xxyz.htm was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/2.4.33 (Win64) PHP/7.1.16 Server at localhost Port 80

Firstly, I can go to all pages of the project xyz via [localserver] with no problems.
Secondly, the root/home page for xyz is /index.htm, not /xyz/xxyz.htm. That is a page in a subsidary folder to the site root.

Please would you advise me as to what I have done wrong and how to correct the various problems?

(Please be aware that the WampServer installation was done by someone knowledgeable Of WAMP who is no longer available. I am relying on trying to understand and follow advice etc from WampServer help pages and elsewhere on the net.)

[in blue, warning] It's a bad idea to add localhost in the url of launching
projects. It is best to define VirtualHost in
wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.33/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
file and not add localhost in the url.

Did you also amend the httpd.conf and add Listen directives for these other port numbers

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen [::0]:80
# Additional port numbers to listen on
Listen 0.0.0.0:8083
Listen 0.0.0.0:8084
Listen 0.0.0.0:8085
Listen 0.0.0.0:8086
Listen [::0]:8083
Listen [::0]:8084
Listen [::0]:8085
Listen [::0]:8086

Hi,

For this to work correctly, you must add the additional listening ports through the Wampserver Tool menu:

Right-Click -> Tools -> Add a listyen port to Apache

For this to work correctly, you must add the additional listening ports through the Wampserver Tool menu:
And you must create your VirtualHost from the Add a VirtualHost page of Wampserver.

Dear RiggsFolly

Whoops, sorry that I hadn't made that clear - yes, httpd.conf had the code
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen [::0]:80
Listen 0.0.0.0:8081
Listen [::0]:8081
Listen 0.0.0.0:8082
Listen [::0]:8082
Listen 0.0.0.0:8083
Listen [::0]:8083
Listen 0.0.0.0:8084
Listen [::0]:8084
Listen 0.0.0.0:8085
Listen [::0]:8085
Listen 0.0.0.0:8086
Listen [::0]:8086
in it.
What you have put is cleaner, so I have changed to that.
However, that change has not improved things.
I am currently communicating with Otomatic about the help he's suggested in his answer to me.
Thank you for your help
JW

Dear Otomatic
Thank you for your reply.
1) Regarding Add listen post - if I right click on Tools or the three items listed there, I get a standard browser's menu, nothing on Add listen post. The Tools list is as follows:
Tools
phpinfo()
phpmyadmin
Add a Virtual Host

2) Using Add a Virtual Host, I created a new Virtual Host for the project, xyz. After refreshing the WampServer localhost page, I still have the same result on clicking on the project link for xyz:
Not Found
The requested URL /xyz/xxyz.htm was not found on this server. etc.
Would you advise please?
Regards JW

Hi,

With Wampserver, you should not add "ListenPort" by hand directly in the httpd.conf file. You MUST use the Tools menu item "Add a listen port to Apache".

This is because additional listening ports are managed by Apache variables like this :

Define APACHE24 Apache2.4
Define VERSION_APACHE 2.4.37
Define INSTALL_DIR j:/wamp
Define APACHE_DIR ${INSTALL_DIR}/bin/apache/apache${VERSION_APACHE}
Define SRVROOT ${INSTALL_DIR}/bin/apache/apache${VERSION_APACHE}
Define MYPORT8082 8082
Define MYPORT8081 8081

then

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen [::0]:80
Listen 0.0.0.0:${MYPORT8082}
Listen [::0]:${MYPORT8082}
Listen 0.0.0.0:${MYPORT8081}

Similarly for VirtualHost, you must create them after adding additional listening ports to get, for example, a definition of VirtualHost like this:

#
<VirtualHost *:${MYPORT8081}>
	ServerName mysite
	DocumentRoot "j:/wamp/www/phpbb3"
	<Directory  "j:/wamp/www/phpbb3/">
		Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
		AllowOverride All
		Require local
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
