WampServer

Hi,

I've downloaded and installed wamp ... when I type in [localhost] I can see that the installation worked.

I've tried to set up two subdomains (plasmatv, canonlens)but whenever I type the url in the browser I get a dialog box opening (as though I'm trying to download something) which says

Opening

You have chosen to open


which is a: application/x-http-php
from [plasmatv.deals--now.com]

What should Firefox do with this file

then I get the choice of :

Open with
or
Save to disc

If I save to disc the I get a copy of my index.php file saved to my local disc in a file called mslzccw9

Anyone tell me why the index.php script isn't executin and tries to download?

I have a .htaccess file in the subfolder, here it is:

<Start htaccess>
ErrorDocument 404 /

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .html .htm

DirectoryIndex index.php?pagename=Plasma-Tv ##<<<<Change For Use "-" for spaces<<<<<

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html index.php?pagename=$1 [NC,L]
<End htaccess>

Here is the virtual server stuff from the httpd-vhosts.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.deals--now.com
ServerAlias deals--now
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/deals--now
ErrorLog C:/wamp/www/deals--now/logs/error.log
CustomLog C:/wamp/www/deals--now/logs/access.log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName plasmatv.deals--now.com

DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/plasmatv
ErrorLog C:/wamp/www/plasmatv/logs/error.log

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www
ErrorLog C:/wamp/www/logs/error.log
CustomLog C:/wamp/www/logs/access.log common
</VirtualHost>

Here is the stuff from the hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 deals--now.com
127.0.0.1 plasmatv.deals--now.com
127.0.0.1 canonlens.deals--now.com

anyone help??

Disable .htaccess file if you want to see where the problem is.

I need the .htaccess file to exist BUT ...

... I followed your advice and deleted it just to see if it made any difference ...

it didn't

same problem keeps occurring.

any more thoughts

servername and alis written wrong


should be like

ServerName www.xxxxx.yyy
ServerAlias xxxxx.yyy *.xxxxx.yyy

you need to do this for all three.

Hi Steven,

Looks like you're having a busy night

Can you tell me exactly what the following entry for the subdomain should be please?

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName plasmatv.deals--now.com
ServerAlias plasmatv
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/plasmatv
ErrorLog C:/wamp/www/plasmatv/logs/error.log
CustomLog C:/wamp/www/plasmatv/logs/access.log common
</VirtualHost>

Thanks in advance,
Mark.

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.plasmatv.deals--now.com
ServerAlias plasmatv.deals--now.com *.plasmatv.deals--now.com
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/plasmatv
ErrorLog C:/wamp/www/plasmatv/logs/error.log
CustomLog C:/wamp/www/plasmatv/logs/access.log common
</VirtualHost>








are u sure u can use --- in a url
??
maybe you can

but %2d is url encoding for - like & can be used

I've never had a problem using -- in url

I made those changes but problem still the same in Firefox ... BUT

when I type in the url [plasmatv.deals--now.com] in IE I get the Index of listing for the deals--now folder

any other ideas?

TIA

do you have an index file in this folder or else thats wat u will get

I don't have an index file in deals--now folder BUT I was hoping the typing

[plasmatv.deals--now.com]

would run the index.php script in my plasmatv folder ...

I do have an index.php file in plasmatv folder

how would that ever work? lol


u need an index.php in each folder

then wen u access the folder server automatically opens it



empty the history in firefox to see if that helps

Hi steven,

cleared the history in FF and that also now shows me the Index Of listing for deals--now folder

it doesn't run the index.php script in plasmatv folder.

I don't need an index file in the deals--now folder but i've stuck a simple one in there ...

and tried again ...

now typing

[plasmatv.deals--now.com] in the address bar

runs the idex.php script in deals--now folder!!

im confused over the names of your folders!! lol

so is it working?

Hi Steven,

not as confused as me lol!!

no, it's not working ...

I'll try to summarise what I want to achieve ... and I have this running now on a live webserver:

domain name www.deals--now.com

subdomain1 www.plasmatv.deals--now.com
subdomain2 www.canonlens.deals--now.com

to this end I have set up 3 folders in wamp\www

c:\wamp\www\deals--now
c:\wamp\www\canonlens
c:\wamp\www\plasmatv

then I tried setting up the 'virtual server' stuff to get the subdomains working ..

at the moment though it's still not working, whenever I type [plasmatv.delas--now.com] in the address bar, the index.php script that runs is the one in c:\wamp\www\deals--now

Cheers,
Mark

all these links aer working for me....... is this on ur server???


or on a different server up live on web

the links that are working for you are not on my server, they are live on a real webserver hosted by a hosting company ...

I'm trying to use wamp to mirror that structure/setup on my own pc so that I can test safely.

Listen 80
NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.deals--now.com
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/deals--now
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>

ServerName plasmatv.deals--now.com
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/plasmatv
