xampp virtual host - always loading htdocs

Wowzaaa picture Wowzaaa · Jul 16, 2013 · Viewed 23.3k times · Source

I am trying to create a virtual host on my localhost (XAMPP). Tried every combination out there, but I always get htdocs loaded instead of the specific folder

Here is the hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 devsnappy

Here is httpd-vhosts.conf:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot E:/xampp/htdocs/snappy/public
    ServerName devsnappy
    <Directory "E:/xampp/htdocs/snappy/public">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Any suggestions?

For anyone who reads this and no solution help you, this is what helped me.

Just uncomment this Include line in your httpd.conf:

# Virtual hosts
Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

That way, it will make changes you made in your etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf available!

Don't forget to restart Apache server afterwards!
