WampServer

Hi all,

I've set everything up fine so far.

Now I've added these lines to the apache vhost file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@potholestudios.com
DocumentRoot "D:/wamp/www/potholestudios.com"
ServerName potholestudios.com
ServerAlias www.potholestudios.com
ErrorLog "logs/potholestudios.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/potholestudios.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@potholestudios.com
DocumentRoot "D:/wamp/www/files.potholestudios.com"
ServerName files.potholestudios.com
ErrorLog "logs/files.potholestudios.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/files.potholestudios.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>


Now the problem is when i visit potholestudios.com, www.potholestudios.com and files.potholestudios.com all I get is the root of D:/wamp/www/ which in there is a blank file called index.html.

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

You should add the <directory> entry to each of the virtual hosts, for example:

<Directory "D:/wamp/www/potholestudios.com">
AllowOverride None
DirectoryIndex index.php
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Do you mean like this?

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@potholestudios.com
DocumentRoot "D:/wamp/www/potholestudios.com"
ServerName potholestudios.com
ServerAlias www.potholestudios.com
ErrorLog "logs/potholestudios.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/potholestudios.com-access.log" common
<Directory "D:/wamp/www/potholestudios.com">
AllowOverride None
DirectoryIndex index.php
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

because I have done this and it is still not working.

Thanks for your time.

Have you removed # in front of this line in httpd.conf:

Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

aha, I found the problem, the vhosts line in the mian httpd.conf file was #'ed out.

Stupid me.

Thanks anyway toivo.

Yeah

Anyway while we're here to login to the admin panel on my site you need to enter a security code, problem is with wamp it's not showing :/

admin page:

www.potholestudios.com/admin.php

www.potholestudios.com/phpinfo.php

Any ideas?


Also, rewrite doesn't seem to be working, I had to edit out the section in my .htaccess file to redirect people from potholestudios.com to www.potholestudios.com

Thanks.

No idea, you have to look at the PHP code, I am afraid. It may be because of a function that is not available in the Windows implementation of PHP. Do not post the code it here if you want to keep it secure. PM is OK.

Another word of advice: you should organise the admin functions into a subfolder where you add an .htaccess file and restrict the access to IP subnets you trust.

I can see that you are not a big IE fan :-)

Ok well the code is working now, I had a fiddle with PHP extensions and probably found the right one.

Just one more problem now is the site wont send email, is there an extension for that?

No extensions, but the usual suspects like the mail() function in PHP are available. The default SMTP server address is in php.ini that Apache uses in c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\bin\php.ini. If your CLI scripts send emails, edit c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5\php.ini.

If you need to install PEAR::mail, check out the instructions from my personal website at
