I'll start by saying I' completely new to WAMP.
The issue I'm having is that I have my WAMP program director installed in C:\Program Files- however, my C:\ drive is filling up fast and the site I work on is extremely large. Is it possible to have WAMP installed on C:\ but direct WAMP to look for the index file in say E:\www\???
You should be able to edit the DocumentRoot location in httpd.conf
I believe the default is: DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"
You should be able to amend this to a new folder: DocumentRoot "E:/www/"
You might need to also change the <Directory "c:/wamp/www"> listing as well.
You can open httpd.conf via the WAMP app. It comes under Apache.
try go to
C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.17\conf\httpd.conf
change DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/" to DocumentRoot "e:/wamp/www/" (line 178)

i am pretty new this kind of work. I had developed a web app using PHP. i am using XAMPP Server. Now when i am hitting http://www.mywebsite.com/myproject i got my project index page. Now what i looking is if i enter http://www.mywebsite.com it should display myproject's index page.
I am not sure what is this term called. I didn't know how to search for this solution.
Your help will be much appreciated if you can provide the term i should look for or the solution for this.
thanks
When you edit the httpd-vhosts.conf file (which is in C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra), edit the DocumentRoot property accordingly.
Your current settings are probably looking like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
ServerName www.mywebsite.com
</VirtualHost>
which directs you to the main htdocs folder. In order to display your project, you use www.mywebsite.com/myproject. You should change the DocumentRoot. For example:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/your-project-folder"
ServerName www.mywebsite.com
</VirtualHost>
Tested on Win 8.1 Pro x64, XAMPP 5.6.21 portable. It's working.
Open the file index.php from the htdocs in xammp ( ..\xampp\htdocs\index.php)
Change the line
header('Location: '.$uri.'/dashboard/');
to
header('Location: '.$uri.'/yoursitefolder/');
this will resolve the issue.
I've got an XAMPP installation running great and I've configured my local machine to be accessed by other users via my IP address using this tutorial here.
However, when I navigate to this page I get the standard XAMP (horrible yellow and orange) homepage.
Where can I change my root directory for my website so I've got a folder called oursite within the htdocs folder of XAMPP which I'd like to load when a user navigates to my page instead of redirecting to the xampp folder.
Just as explained in the tutorial you mentionned, in the file C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf, you should have a VirtualHost definition like this one :
<VirtualHost *:80>
# Just Change the line above so that DocumentRoot point to your "oursite" folder
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/oursite/"
ServerName Whatever.server.name.you.want
</VirtualHost>
Just Change the line above the previous comment so that DocumentRoot point to your "oursite" folder
I can't for the life of me understand where the previous developer set up the configuration of the localhost system so that the application can run with a URL like:
http://my-app/index.php
instead of
http://localhost/index.php
I've checked the following files but can't find my-app anywhere:
httpd-vhosts.conf, the windows hosts file, wampmanager.tpl, wampmanager.ini, .htaccess, and files inside the wamp/bin/apache/Apachexxxx/ folder. Where on earth else should I look for this mysterious setting? The application's running on wampserver 2.1
Problem solved! It's so simple I can't believe I'd been cracking my head over this for days.
The old developer had simply renamed the computer name, from (right-click) My Computer's Properties. The name was changed to my-app. That's it.
check your hosts file. Since your running windows its in the following path
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
When you enter my-app.com to browser, open website under the C:/wamp/www/my-app/ folder.
About WAMP SERVER
Append to file below VirtualHost block.
Important: Below codes based under the C:/wamp/www/my-app/files. You can change what you want.
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin info#my-app.com
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/my-app/"
ServerName my-app.com
ServerAlias www.my-app.com
ErrorLog "logs/my-app.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/my-app.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
About Windows
Append line like this:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
127.0.0.1 my-app.com
127.0.0.1 www.my-app.com
And RESTART your WAMP server..
I installed Bitnami WAMP Stack in Windows 7 and I am trying to get my eclipse php code to run. I found a link online that said to add an alias, but that didn't work, how do I get the code to run in
http://localhost/greenmugcafe/
if my eclipse workspace is located here
C:\Users\Robert\Documents\GitHub\greenmugcafe ?
Edit: I could not find anything on doing this for Bitnami WAMP but I found a few for the Bitnami Django stack.
Any Help at all?
Your code would run from http://localhost/greenmugcafe/ if you changed the virtual host directory of localhost to C:/Users/Robert/Documents/GitHub/
Personally, I think it would be better to create a local domain called greenmugcafe.dev rather than having a folder greenmugcafe in the localhost domain.
How to setup virtual hosts in WAMP
Make sure virtual hosts have been enabled:
Edit /installdir/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
Search for line that includes httpd-vhosts.conf and uncomment it by removing the # at the start
Adding a new virtual host:
Edit the hosts file on your windows system (usually located at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\)
Add the following to the end of the hosts file 127.0.0.1 greenmugcafe.dev. This tells your computer that any url with a value of greenmugcafe.dev should be routed to 127.0.0.1 (aka localhost).
Save the hosts file and now edit this file /installdir/apache2/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Add the greenmugcafe.dev virtual host entry at the bototm of the /installdir/apache2/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf file, save, and restart the server.
Here's the code:
#greenmugcafe
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#greenmugcafe.dev
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Robert/Documents/GitHub/greenmugcafe/"
ServerName greenmugcafe.dev
ErrorLog "logs/greenmugcafe.dev-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/greenmugcafe.dev-access.log" common
<Directory "C:/Users/Robert/Documents/GitHub/greenmugcafe/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Now http://greenmugcafe.dev will point to C:/Users/Robert/Documents/GitHub/greenmugcafe/
This method will also work for other WAMP stacks like Wamp Server and XAMPP.
For a launched website on a linux server, instead of the windows host file, we would change the a record of the domain name to point to the server IP address. Then we still need to setup the virtual host so the server knows to recognise the domain name and point it to the correct folder on the server.
Hope that helps :-)
After much faffing about I got laravel to work with XAMPP. However, I can't seem to access directories in the htdocs folder via localhost now. Attempt to access a file returns Object not found! along with The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
The changes I made to get laravel working seems like a blur now. The only thing I remember doing is editing the hosts file to enable the virtual host to work by adding 127.0.0.1 laravel.dev in the hosts file (using a mac btw). I also added a virtual host to the httpd-vhost.conf file.
I did undo the above changes but it didn't make a difference.
Any thoughts on whats gone wrong?
Thanks.
Dispelling Confusion
Just thought I'd clarify what my experience is. Before installing laravel 4 I could access all my projects with localhost/someProjectName but now it fails.
I'm trying to identify what change caused this behaviour. Btw, I have no problems accessing my laravel project (my mapping allows me access to it via laravel.dev)
Look into your /etc/httpd.conf file and see if you have Virtual hosts activated.
If so, check your etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf file. You might have set up a VirtualHost already.
EDIT: I have found that once you turn on Virtual Hosts, XAMPP needs a default VirtualHost for your basic htdocs files
Try adding a default VirtualHost (at the bottom of the file) like so:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/htdocs"
<Directory "/Applications/XAMPP/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes execCGI
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
It sounds to me like it is a problem with the way your directories are configured. Be sure to create a Virtual Host (if you're using Apache) that points to the public folder within your application directory.
For example, if your Laravel project is under /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/Laravel then set up a Virtual Host like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/Laravel/public
# Other directives here
</VirtualHost>
Additionaly, if you're working with PHP >= 5.4, SSH into the application folder and run
./artisan serve
(Be sure that your PHP executable is in your PATH variable). Then go localhost:8000 and you should have your application running.
Running this command runs the PHP built-in webserver and saves you the trouble of configuring virtual hosts.
In your Apache's http.conf, find the DocumentRoot line and add the subdirectory /public on the end.
Once that is done and you've restarted Apache, you'll be able to access everything which is contained within your htdocs/public folder (including subdirectories of that folder), along with any routes you've defined in Laravel.
Laravel is designed to be set up this way as to protect the code and files by not having them in the folder which is served out to the web.
I have same issue and found that there are miss configuration in vhost. So that's are correct configuration.
in etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/laravel-master/public"
ServerName laravel.local
ErrorLog "logs/laravel-master-error.log"
<Directory D:/xampp/htdocs/laravel-master/public>
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
In the hosts file
127.0.0.1 laravel.local
I don't know if you're running L4 or L3. However, launch CLI and
$ cd ./path/to/project
Then for L4:
$ php artisan serve
For L3:
$ php -S localhost:8000 -t public
Now you can go to localhost:8000 and see your application.
You're having problem because the object really doesn't exist in your htdocs directory. You don't have to append xampp after localhost or 127.0.0.1 because xampp will treat it as an object or a folder under htdocs.
if you want to access your blog, make sure you have a blog folder under htdocs and put in your URL localhost/blog
