Wamp directories not working after enabling virtual host - php

Question

I have created a virtual host for a new application in wamp.
In my httpd.conf
# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf //<--- Removed #
In my httpd.vhosts.conf I added a new host
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/myapp"
ServerName myapp.local
ServerAlias 127.0.0.1
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory "C:/wamp/www/myapp/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
The virtual host is working fine. But the problem is my other apps that run without virtual hosts are not working.
When i open http://localhost/fistapp/ it shows
Forbidden 403
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Once you create a Virtual Host definition Apache basically ignores the localhost domain defined in the httpd.conf file, so you have to also define locahost in the httpd-vhosts.conf file as well. So your httpd-vhosts.conf file should look like this :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot c:/wamp/www
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
# made some amendments to this VH as well
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/myapp"
ServerName myapp.local
# not sure why this is here ServerAlias 127.0.0.1
ServerAlias www.myapp.local
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory "C:/wamp/www/myapp">
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Dont forget to amend the C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file to add your new domain like this
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 myapp.local
::1 myapp.local
