Virtual hosts and XAMPP

[ServerStorm]

I think I finally beat the SOB. Moved the xampp folder from under the document root (htdocs) to c:\vhosts and added the corresponding entries
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/vhosts/xampp
ServerName xamppoff
</VirtualHost>

and 127.0.0.1 xamppoff to the HOSTS, and now it works. Multiple virtual hosts are also placed there, and they work too, so I guess that’s it.

I think it was due to the part in bold which applies to Apache 2.0. While I tried to place the folders for the virtual hosts inside the htdocs folder (which is how I used to do it when I was running the multiple virtual hosts setup under Apache 1.3), they didn’t work as this version uses Apache 2.0. Now that I moved them away from under htdocs, everything seems to work OK. Fingers crossed. Maybe now I can finally get to work instead of fighting the server.

Glad you got this solved… good work
