WampServer

I would like to thank you in advance for your time and help.

Okay, I just upgraded to Windows 7 (x64) Ultimate from XP Pro.

While on XP I had all the vhosts working just fine and published several dynamic sites with little problems with the standard setup which are the exact same as the Windows 7/WAMP Files of the following modifications.

Also, I use Dreamweaver CS4.

It worked in XP and not Windows 7.

ARE THERE ADDITIONAL STEPS OR CONSIDERATIONS I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT FOR WINDOWS 7?

Thoes vhosts appears to be fine, although you can delete these entries

<VirtualHost *:80> 
ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.localhost 
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/docs/dummy-host.localhost" 
ServerName dummy-host.localhost 
ServerAlias www.dummy-host.localhost 
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.localhost-error.log" 
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.localhost-access.log" common 
</VirtualHost> 

<VirtualHost *:80> 
ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host2.localhost 
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/docs/dummy-host2.localhost" 
ServerName dummy-host2.localhost 
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-error.log" 
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-access.log" common 
</VirtualHost>

Just make sure you have

NameVirtualHost *:80

at the top of httpd-vhosts.conf.

Yes I do have NameVirtualHost *:80.

Can it be anything else with Windows 7? All of this worked just fine on XP.

What do you do when everything is done correctly and it still doesn't work?

Please help or I will have to go back to XP. Anyone with Windows 7 experience?

my sites on win7 both 32 and 64 right w/o any problem so make sure you dont have typo or so in paths

I had this same problem and managed to fix it. Just like your example above, I had

DocumentRoot C:/vhosts/betaglucanreviews

without the inverted commas around the document root directory.

I don't know why but after I changed it to:

DocumentRoot "C:/vhosts/betaglucanreviews"

as in the example Vhosts, it worked!

Hope that helps,

Good luck.

@jtpsmooth,

Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I'm having the same problem. My "localhost" works - but none of the vhosts I set up are working. I even have the "inverted commas" (quotes) around my path names.

Hoping you can help.

Thanks.
