If you are having a problem setting up multiple web sites using XAMPP try the following process:

Assumptions- root folders for your two sites are:

c:/mysite/
c:/myweb/

1) add these lines to the Windows Hosts file

127.0.0.1. myweb
127.0.0.1. mysite

2) Into Apache’s “\xampp\apache\conf\Http.conf” file add the following:


<Directory c:\myweb>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory c:\mysite>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>


3) Add this is the “\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf” file:


<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName myweb
DocumentRoot C:\myweb
<Directory C:\myweb>
IndexOptions +FancyIndexing NameWidth=*
Options Includes FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysite
DocumentRoot C:\mysite
<Directory C:\mysite>
IndexOptions +FancyIndexing NameWidth=*
Options Includes FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


Now open a browser and simple type either myweb or mysite and you should be able to see both of your site wih all the php in their full glory!

NameVirtualHost *:80
VirtualHost *:80
DocumentRoot “E:\xampp\htdocs\chilliking”
ServerName localhost.chilliking
/VirtualHost

VirtualHost *:80
DocumentRoot “E:\xampp\htdocs\cycling”
ServerName localhost.cycling
/VirtualHost

unfortunately i still get the same behaviour….nothing unless i just browse to http://localhost, where i can then view whichever site comes first in my vhosts file.

Any other ideas?

I’ve got this in my hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.chilliking
127.0.0.1 localhost.cycling

and this in my vhosts.conf file:

DocumentRoot “E:\xampp\htdocs\cycling”
ServerName localhost.cycling

DocumentRoot “E:\xampp\htdocs\chilliking”
ServerName localhost.chilliking

When I browse to http://localhost.cycling/ or http://localhost.thechilliking/ i get the following error:

Could Not Connect to Server
Webwasher was not able to connect to localhost.cycling.
If you would like to try again, click here.

Interestingly when i try to browse to http://localhost/ i can view the cycling site no problems. The only way i can successfully view the chilli site is o switch the order of the entries in the vhosts file. i .e. change the text above to :

DocumentRoot “E:\xampp\htdocs\chilliking”
ServerName localhost.chilliking

DocumentRoot “E:\xampp\htdocs\cycling”
ServerName localhost.cycling

Any ideas???

DocumentRoot “c:/site1”
ServerName http://www.yoursite.com

Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all

u missed the directory part to set permission jus add u will be oaky

http://localhost.seeyouin1984.dev/

my site doesn’t load i just get another version of the page that lets you know the install was successful and the url changes to:

http://localhost.seeyouin1984.dev/xampp/

I there something I could have missed?
