I am using WAMP, i have a magento project along with other php projects. All except magento project are accessible over LAN. In my office the IP that is alloted is a dynamic one, and changes upon reconnection. The problem is, upon fixing the IP in configuration--> web --> url,
the project runs, but soon after reconnection the magento project is not accessible on localhost nor on LAN (due to IP change). I am looking for a solution, that will make magento listen to current system IP when its online and also to localhost when its offline.
You should change your HOSTS file like this
127.0.0.1 anydomain.com
then change the record in the table [core_config_data] where the column [path = web/unsecure/base_url and web/secure/base_url] to http://anydomain.com
Go to admin page and flush magento cache.
Hope this work for your case.
First do this
https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/allow-pings-icmp-echo-request-through-your-windows-vista-firewall/
Then Add this to C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.27\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts

So I set up a few virtual hosts with unique urls and they work just fine on the desktop. However, when I connect a mobile device on the network, it can't seem to access anything properly but the default localhost virtualhost and that's only when it's the only virtualhost I have up.
My setup and coding is pretty much this except with a different site title
wamp server 3.0 virtual host on another device
and while that solution redirects me to my unique url, it has a lack of images on a default wordpress website.
Has anyone managed to get mobile devices fully accessing links other than on localhost?
Since I posted the answer you referenced, I have decided upon a simpler solution.
What the actual problem is
Because we cannot fiddle with the configuration of a phone like we can with a PC, the phone can never find the domain name we create in our Virtual Host definition on the Server machine, because it does not exist in any DNS Server for it to locate the IP Address in, and a DNS Server is the only place a phone can look, unless it is jail broke.
If you wanted to access one of your Virtual Hosts domains from another PC you could just add a line like this into the HOSTS file on the other PC like this.
192.168.0.10 example.local
But you cannot do that on a phone/tablet.
What Apache expects to be able to asssociate a request to a Vhost
When we create an Apache Virtual Host, we are actually telling Apache to look at the domain name on the incoming connection and match that domain name to a ServerName that exists in one of our multiple Virtual Hosts definitions.
But if we use for example example.local as our virtually hosted domain when we attempt to connect to that from our phone, the phone does a DNS Lookup and does not find that domain and therefore cannot get its ip address.
The simplest way to get round this is:
Assuming we do not have access to adding record to a DNS Server we have to come up with a different solution.
The simplest of these is to use the IP Address of the PC running the WAMPServer(Apache) server and a specific port number. So thats a different port number for each of our sites we want to use from a phone.
So how do we do this
Add the new listening port to httpd.conf like so after the 2 existing Listen statements
WAMPServer 3: Do this using the menus, not by doing a manual edit on httpd.conf
right click wampmanager-> Tools -> Add listen port for Apache
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen [::0]:80
Listen 0.0.0.0:8000
Listen [::0]:8000
Suggested httpd-vhosts.conf file
#
# Virtual Hosts
#
# Always keep localhost, and always first in the list
# this way a ramdom look at your IP address from an external IP
# maybe a hack, will get told access denied
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot c:/wamp/www
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
# The normal Vhost definition for one of our sites
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.local
DocumentRoot "c:/websrc/example/www"
<Directory "d:/websrc/example/www/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
# Access example.dev from phone for testing
<VirtualHost *:8000>
ServerName example.local
DocumentRoot "c:/websrc/example/www"
<Directory "d:/websrc/example/www/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
# assuming yoursubnet is 192.168.0.?
# allow any ip on your WIFI access
Require ip 192.168.0
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Restart Apache from wampmanager after completing these edits.
Now you test this from the WAMPServer PC by using the ServerName i.e example.dev and from the phone using the ip of the PC running WAMPServer with the port number i.e. 192.168.0.10:8000
Apache will find the correct code to serve from both requests.
If you want more than one Virtual Host to be accessible from your phone you just duplicate this idea and change the port number for each new site, lets say you would use 8001,8002,8003 etc. For as many sites as you want to access.
You may also have to amend your firewall to allow access on http on port 8000, or whatever port you pick to use
I developed an application with laravel and i put it in a local server and i need that other computer access it.
I think that have 2 solutions:
First: Access to laravel server (port 8000)
Second: Put the project in xampp
What is the best solution?
With the first option i can't access and with xampp it doesn't access well to routes and doesn't load the css and js files.
If i access to root folder it list the project folders and i have to go to public folder but doesn't load stylesheet files.
How can i do that?
UPDATE:
I did this steps and this not work yet.
In httpd.conf enable this line Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Next i add a host in in hosts file:
127.0.0.1 arquivo.localhost
Next i'm going to httpd-vhosts.conf and add this:
<VirtualHost *:8888>
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/arquivo/public"
ServerAdmin arquivo.localhost
<Directory "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/arquivo/public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Next i restart the apache and when i try to access to http://arquivo.localhost this give me This site can’t be reached
What i'm doing wrong?
Thank you
create virtualhost under xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhost.conf
like this
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost.com
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/laravel/public"
ServerName laravel.localhost
ErrorLog "logs/laravel-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/laravel-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
and access with http://laravel.localhost/
If its working fine on your localhost, other person can access your site using your Ip address, provided you both are on same local network.
For more you can see this reference : Accessing localhost (xampp) from another computer over LAN network - how to?
ATTN! I should mention this is all localhost. As in my machine, no servers or other jazz included.
I am really bad at configuring sites in apache, how ever I have the following config:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/image_upload_app
ServerAlias www.dev-imageuploadapp.com
<Directory /var/www/html/image_upload_app>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
And when ever I visit www.dev-imageuploadapp.com, I get a "The web page is not available" in chrome.
There are no errors in the access or the error log, after attempting to visit the page. Apache is running and the site is enabled.
The directory does exist and contains a index.php.
You need to set ip address of your site on DNS Servers. There is some free DNS Servers like https://www.cloudflare.com/. If you do in this way, you need to set delegated DNS Servers on your domain-holder site. Another try you can go to site to IP by http://{your-ip-address}/
Your browser needs to know which IP address is to use for a provided name. To enforce some values to localhost, you can add them into hosts file. Following line needs to be added:
127.0.0.1 www.dev-imageuploadapp.com
In /etc/hosts change the line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
To
127.0.0.1 localhost www.dev-imageuploadapp.com
I'm using wamp on localhost at c:\wamp\www\.
The project located under: c:\wamp\www\MyProj\public (root).
In file1.php (located in root) I have a link to some fake url (/services/.....).
I'm trying to redirect that url to other file service_router.php (in the same direction as file1.php).
I'm doing that in httpd.config:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName 127.0.0.1
DocumentRoot c:\wamp\www\
<Directory "c:\wamp\www\">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/MyProj/public/services/*
RewriteRule . /MyProj/public/service_router.php
</VirtualHost>
But my WAMP refuses to restart.
What's wrong with my configurations?
Can I make a few suggestions.
If you want to use Virtual Hosts, and I consider that a very good idea. You need first to make sure that localhost still works and secondly it is a good idea to move you actual projects out of the \wamp\ folder structure.
So this would be a good starting point for your first ( of many ) VHOSTS
First create a new folder structure somewhere on any of your drives for example
C:\websites\project1\www
Now copy your project to the www folder.
Now setup the vhosts
# must be first VHOST so the that localhost and the wamp menu page still work
# Also makes this the default site so any randon hacks on your ip address
# will come here and hopefully be rejected because it only 'Allows' access
# from this machine ( see Allow Deny )
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
<Directory "C:/wamp/www">
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/websites/project1/www"
ServerName project1.dev
ServerAlias www.dqsc.old
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
<Directory "C:/websites/project1/www">
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Unless you actually want to make this site available to the World can I suggest that you dont use Allow from all.
Try using or the second Allow line if you want to see your site from any machine on your internal network, just use the first 3 of the 4 quartiles of your ip address and it will allow access from any ip starting with those 3 quartiles.
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1
Allow from 192.168.0
Now you need to amend your HOSTS file so that windows knows about your new domain name.
Edit c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and add the new site name project1.dev like so, you will have to launch your editor 'Run as Administrator' as this file is protected by windows :-
127.0.0.1 project1.dev
Now restart the "DNS Client" service to refresh the windows dns cache so it see's your new domain name. Start a command window, again "Run as Administrator".
net stop "DNS Client"
net start "DNS Client"
You should now be able to enter http://project1.dev in a browser and it will find you new site.
Finally, once you test that your site is working, put the url rewrite coding in a .htaccess file in the root of your new project.
C:\websites\www\project1\.htaccess

I need your help here in creating a virtual host in wampserver. In office I can create a virtual hosts but when I try to create in my laptop it doesn't work. I still can't figure out what's wrong. Here's what I did.
I copy the wordpress file in this folder. This will be the path of my project
E:\Subversion\chelle.wpblog.local
I edit the host file
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
I added it to the end of file
127.0.0.1 chelle.wpblog.local
Next is I enable the virtual host in Apache
C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\conf\httpd.conf
I uncomment this
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Next is I setup the virtual host in WAMP
C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
I add this at the bottom
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName chelle.wpblog.local
ServerAlias chelle.wpblog.local
DocumentRoot "E:/Subversion/chelle.wpblog.local/"
<Directory "E:/Subversion/chelle.wpblog.local/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Last is restart wampserver and open the chelle.wpblog.local in the browser. And it doesn't display. It display only google search results.
I was installing the zend framework on my local wamp using apache server.
First go and decide what will be your domain name for the local url.
Ex->www.test_zend_tutorial.com
then go and open the file located at "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc"
hosts
write
127.0.0.1 (use one tab space) www.test_zend_tutorial.com
then go to the folder located at
D:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.17 (whatever is your version) \conf\
and open the file
httpd.conf
and search for text
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
and uncomment it by removing the # tag from the start of the line.Save the file and close it.
Now go to another folder located at
D:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.17\conf\extra
and open the file
httpd-vhosts.conf
and paste the code below at the last in this file
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot "D:\wamp\www"
ServerName localhost
ErrorLog "logs/localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/localhost-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.test_zend_tutorial.com
DocumentRoot "D:\wamp\www\(your project folder name)\public"
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<directory "D:\wamp\www\(your project folder name)\public">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</directory>
</VirtualHost>
and restart the wamp, now write the www.test_zend_tutorial.com in the browser and you will see the things working.
If when you use the new domain in the browser it goes to a google search or something like that then the change to your hosts file has not been recognised.
You have to either reboot after changing the hosts file or more simply run these 2 commands from a command windows ( as administrator )
net stop dnscache
net start dnscache
This will refresh windows DNS cache and pick up your hosts file changes.
It is also a good idea to ping your new domain to check it is being seen, use
ping chelle.wpblog.local
If it reports 127.0.0.1 as the ip address and 4 send and 4 receieved packet then the domain is now known to Windows, if it reports some other ip address the hosts file change has not succeeded.
Also it is a good idea when creating VHOSTS to also create one for localhost or the wamp home page will not work.
You also have old Apache 2.2 syntax (Order allow,deny allow from all) you could try using the Apache 2.4 syntax, see below
So try this
## must be first so the the wamp menu page loads
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#mail.net
DocumentRoot "D:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
<Directory "D:/wamp/www">
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#mail.net
ServerName chelle.wpblog.local
ServerAlias www.chelle.wpblog.local
DocumentRoot "E:/Subversion/chelle.wpblog.local"
<Directory "E:/Subversion/chelle.wpblog.local">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
In WampServer 3.0.4 you do not need to run through all those setting up.
Go to local host and under Tools area for "Add a Vertual Host" in the first time it will say turn on "Vertual Host sub menu" in wamp server settings.
To get there right click on wamp icon > go to wamp server settings > and click on Vertual Host sub menu. Then re-fresh the page and follow the setup process, you just need to provide the server name and path. It will do all the works for you.
Simple as that
Method 1:
in hosts file
127.0.0.1 mysite
::1 mysite
in C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\conf\extra\httpd-vosts.conf file add your virtual host as follows
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysite
DocumentRoot "<path_to_your_local_site>"
<Directory "<path_to_your_local_site>">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Make sure vhost configuration is enable in httpd.conf file is enabled as follows
C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\conf\httpd.conf
# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
After you have changed configuration as above, restart all service in wamp and load website as follows
http://mysite
your local site should open.
Method 2:
In latest versions of wamp, you can do this configuration via webpage.
Open localhost in your browser. You would see wamp welcome page.
Down below under Tools, there is option to add virtual host. click on the link which would take you to add virtual host page.
In Name of the host, enter your site name eg: mysite
Under Complete absolute path of the VirtualHost folder, enter the path of your site.
Save the config and restart all services. you should be able to open mysite with the link http://mysite
As pointed in another answer, in newer versions of wam
The answers above are overcomplicating the problem somewhat, and in fact the question is including extra information that's misleading the responders.
The clues lie in step 2 and the symptoms described in 5. The hosts file is set up but when the request is made to "blah.local", google responds. Apache is not involved.
The first step to diagnosis would be pinging blah.local and seeing that it maps correctly to 127.0.0.1. I have never (in many years as a developer) found it necessary to restart local DNS on either Windows or Linux/Mac so I would expect this to work out of the box. But if it doesn't, of course restart DNS and see that it does.
However, late versions of Chrome at least do not recognize the TLD '.local' and so when you put the URL back in the browser, it's passed on to Google as a search term. There may be a setting in your browser to tell it to handle the unsanctioned TLD, but your simplest solution would be to use a TLD that's sanctioned by W3C like '.com'.
In short, if your hosts file reads something like
127.0.0.1 local.chelle.wpblog.com
rather than
127.0.0.1 chelle.wpblog.local
everything should work.
Create the folder for your local website
Go to localhost (browser)
Click Add a Virtual Host button
Add the name of the virtual host
Add the complete absolute path
Restart DNS
