WampServer

Hi, I'm attempting to create two virtual hosts test.com and demo.com, and achieve the goal:

1). test.com, www.test.com, and localhost:8010 all directs to C:/Wamp/www/test/
2). demo.com, www.demo.com, and localhost:8020 all directs to C:/Wamp/www/demo/
And yes, they are working as expected when tested in browsers.

My questions is why in the bottom of WAMPSERVER Hompage, it still shows me following errors:
YOUR VIRTUALHOST
localhost - Not a Listen port
test.com - Not a Listen port
test.com:8010 - Not a Listen port
demo.com:80 *:8020 - Not a Listen port
Error(s) See below
Port used for the VirtualHost is not an Apache Listen port
Port number for <VirtualHost *:port> has not correct value or is not the same in file C:/Wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.37/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Hi

Did you use the Tools-> Add a Listen Port for Apache

menu to tell WAMPServer that you wanted to use other ports?

Hi RiggsFolly,

Yes I tried "Tools-> Add a Listen Port for Apache" many times, when I add 80, it says:
The port number you give: 80
is not valid or already used or is default port

But when I add 8010, 8020, etc (Other than 80), a cmd window just flashes and then closed quickly (without messages or pause), the wampserver icon turned orange, then green. After which, nothing seems to change, the errors still show even if I restart DNS, restart Wampserver, totally clean browser cache, restart computer...

Moveover, Tools-> Test Port 80, it shows below:

***** Test which uses port 80 *****

===== Tested by command netstat filtered on port 80 =====


Test for TCP
Your port 80 is used by a processus with PID = 13152
The processus of PID 13152 is 'httpd.exe' Session: Services
The service of PID 13152 for 'httpd.exe' is 'wampapache64'
This service is from Wampserver - It is correct

Test for TCPv6
Your port 80 is used by a processus with PID = 13152
The processus of PID 13152 is 'httpd.exe' Session: Services
The service of PID 13152 for 'httpd.exe' is 'wampapache64'
This service is from Wampserver - It is correct

===== Tested by attempting to open a socket on port 80 =====

Your port 80 is actually used by :

Server: Apache/2.4.37 (Win64) PHP/7.1.26

Tools-> Use a port other than 80, choose 8010, it's ok with [localhost] to show WAMPSERVER Homepage, while in the bottom, the same errors still show. So I changed back to use port 80.

Hi,

I not possible to explain how to use a listen port added because I am not at home till sunday and it is not very easy to write long explanations with a Smartphone.

You need to firstlyz add à listen port then add a VirtualHost using this port. This must not be done manually but only with Wampserver tools.

Hi,

After a complete uninstall and reinstall, I tried again "Tools-> Add a Listen Port for Apache" from scratch, during which I was watching what happened indeed after this process:

1. Tools-> Add a Listen Port for Apache -> 8010;
1-1. A cmd window just flashes and then closed quickly (without messages or pause), the wampserver icon turned orange, then green.
1-2. In the file C:\Wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.37\conf\httpd.conf, two new rows were found to be inserted automaticly:
Define MYPORT8010 8010 (Line 48 or so)
Listen 0.0.0.0:${MYPORT8010} (Line 72 or so)
1-3. After a restart of wampserver and then a refresh of WAMPSERVER Homepage, in the Server Configuration Section, the second line:
Server Software: Apache/2.4.37 (Win64) PHP/7.1.26 - Port defined for Apache: 80 - 8010 (Note 8010 newly added here)
2. Then comes to the file C:\Wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.37\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf:
2-1: The first try (Restart of wampserver and then refresh of WAMPSERVER Homepage each time):
# Virtual Hosts
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"
<Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/">

In the bottom of WAMPSERVER Homepage, there are errors showing:

Error(s) See below
Port :80 *:8010 used for the VirtualHost is not an Apache Listen port

Error(s) See below

2-3: The third try:

</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

In the bottom of WAMPSERVER Homepage:
Your VirtualHost
localhost
demo.com
demo.com:8010

As you see, FINNALLY no errors are shown in the bottom !

3. My further tests and conclusions are as below (Kindly point out if any):

3-1. In httpd.conf, can we REPLACE
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen [::0]:80
Listen 0.0.0.0:${MYPORT8010}
Listen [::0]:${MYPORT8010}

WITH

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
Listen ${MYPORT8010}

OR EVEN

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
Listen 8010

?

The Answer: NO ! There will be errors shown in the bottom of WAMPSERVER Homepage:
Your VirtualHost
localhost - Not a Listen port
demo.com - Not a Listen port
demo.com:8010 - Not a Listen port
Error(s) See below
Port used for the VirtualHost is not an Apache Listen port

3-2. Can we MOVE (By move we mean "CUT",
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen [::0]:80
Listen 0.0.0.0:${MYPORT8010}
Listen [::0]:${MYPORT8010}

FROM httpd.conf TO httpd-vhosts.conf (With following line in httpd.conf UNCOMMENTED of course: Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf)

?

The Answer: NO ! There will be same errors shown in the bottom of WAMPSERVER Homepage just as 3-1.


HOWEVER, just like the very beginning of my post, with any of these configs [2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 3-1, 3-2], the Wampserver Icon can turn green, and it just works as expected to open and visit the urls in browsers: localhost, localhost:80, localhost: 8010, demo.com, www.demo.com, www.demo.com:8010 and so on.

SO, do you think the "Not a Listen port" errors in the above situations are Wrongly or Unnecessarily shown in WAMPSEVER Homepage ?
Would you mind to check the lines 189-202 in www/index.php file ?

$UrlPortVH = ($virtualHost['ServerNamePort'][$value] != '80') ? ':'.$virtualHost['ServerNamePort'][$value] : '';
if(!$virtualHost['port_listen'] && $virtualHost['ServerNamePortListen'][$value] !== true || $virtualHost['ServerNamePortApacheVar'][$value] !== true) {
$value_url = ((strpos($value, ':') !== false) ? strstr($value,':',true) : $value);
$vhostsContents .= '<li>'.$value_url.$UrlPortVH.' - <i style="color:red;">Not a Listen port</i></li>';
if($virtualHost['ServerNamePortListen'][$value] !== true)
$msg_error = ' not an Apache Listen port';
elseif($virtualHost['ServerNamePortApacheVar'][$value] !== true)
$msg_error = ' not an Apache define variable';
if(!$vhostError) {
$vhostError = true;
$vhostErrorCorrected = false;
$error_message[] = "Port ".$UrlPortVH." used for the VirtualHost is ".$msg_error;
}
}

Thanks for your patience

Best Regards,
Mike
