I've got a XAMPP installation running on Windows 7.
As soon as I add a VirtualHost to httpd-vhosts.conf, BOTH the 'regular' http://localhost
AND the new dropbox.local
aren't working.
This is what I added to my httpd-vhosts.conf
:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "E:/Documenten/Dropbox/Dropbox/dummy-htdocs"
ServerName dropbox.local
ServerAlias www.dropbox.local
ErrorLog "logs/dropbox.local-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dropbox.local-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
So I looked up my dropbox.local-error.log
for any information:
[Thu Feb 02 10:41:57 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: E:/Documenten/Dropbox/Dropbox/dummy-htdocs/
This error seems to be solved by adding
<directory "E:/Documenten/Dropbox/Dropbox/dummy-htdocs">
Allow from all
</directory>
But now I get this error in dropbox.local-error.log
:
[Thu Feb 02 10:45:56 2012] [error] [client ::1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: E:/Documenten/Dropbox/Dropbox/dummy-htdocs/
Furthermore when I try to access http://localhost
, I dont get any error in the regular error.log
, although I get the error 403
when I try to access it.
Can anybody help... It's driving me mad :S
EDIT:
Also in httpd.conf
there is the following (I've seen it mentioned multiple times, so before anyone says it):
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.asp index.shtml index.html index.htm \
default.php default.pl default.cgi default.asp default.shtml default.html default.htm \
home.php home.pl home.cgi home.asp home.shtml home.html home.htm
</IfModule>
Okay: This is what I did now and it's solved:
My httpd-vhosts.conf
looks like this now:
<VirtualHost dropbox.local:80>
DocumentRoot "E:/Documenten/Dropbox/Dropbox/dummy-htdocs"
ServerName dropbox.local
ErrorLog "logs/dropbox.local-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dropbox.local-access.log" combined
<Directory "E:/Documenten/Dropbox/Dropbox/dummy-htdocs">
# AllowOverride All # Deprecated
# Order Allow,Deny # Deprecated
# Allow from all # Deprecated
# --New way of doing it
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
First, I saw that it's necessary to have set the <Directory xx:xx>
options. So I put the <Directory > [..] </Directory>
-part INSIDE the <VirtualHost > [..] </VirtualHost>
.
After that, I added AllowOverride AuthConfig Indexes
to the <Directory>
options.
Now http://localhost
also points to the dropbox-virtualhost. So I added dropbox.local
to <VirtualHost *:80>
which makes it as <VirtualHost dropbox.local:80>
FINALLY it works :D!
I'm a happy man! :) :)
I hope someone else can use this information.
