I have a Virtual Host configured in Windows 7. The project is located in C:\project with the following structure:
project
\cache
\configs
\htdocs
\css
\images
\js
\.htaccess
\index.php
\includes
\setup.php
\en.php
\lib
\templates
\templates_c
In my httpd-vhosts.conf, I created a VirtualHost:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/project/htdocs"
ServerName project.dev
<Directory "C:/project/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And added 127.0.0.1 project.dev to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.
The problem is that I want the htdocs to be the directory from which httpd will serve files but I want to include, with PHP, files, for example, located in the includes directory.
How can I solve this problem? I already tried so many solutions from $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to Apache Alias and .htaccess tweaking but none have worked so far. There must have be some easy solution. Maybe I'm not understanding quite correctly the concept of DocumentRoot. I just want to emulate the typical server folder public_html/www/htdocs while keeping important files out of the browser/user scope.
This is a VHost I took from my httpd-vhosts.conf. The only extra configuration I made was to get around the 403 I was hitting:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName "Markdown.loc"
ServerAlias "www.Markdown.loc"
DocumentRoot "C:\INTERNAL\PHP\Markdown"
<Directory "C:\INTERNAL\PHP\Markdown">
Options +Indexes
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
All my other VHosts look like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/somesite.loc"
ServerName somesite.loc
ServerAlias www.somesite.loc
</VirtualHost>
If you're simply looking to include something from a dir on the same level as your htdocs though, include("../includes/somefile.php") should work just fine.
If I've got your problem wrong, let me know, and I'll try to help you more.
Set your include path within your virtualhost or .htaccess:
php_value include_path ".;c:/project"

I have a hosting with my personal project in Symfony2 installed it inside a folder "public_html", then when I want to access to my project I have to write the next
url: "mydomian.net/myprojectSymfony/web/", instead of "mydomain.net".
If I just write mydomain.net the server shows me the directory "public_html" with all folders inside him. How can I write my .htaccess file to solve this problem?
I tried with Redirect 301 but I don't know if the right way.
In my opinion the best approach is to configure your apache vhost as explained there:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/configuration/web_server_configuration.html
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mydomain.net
ServerAlias www.mydomain.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/myprojectSymfony/web
<Directory /var/www/myprojectSymfony/web>
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/project_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/project_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I'm following this tutorial to learn how to start a project using ZendFramework
http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.12/en/learning.quickstart.create-project.html
When I get to setup a virtual host I get stuck. If I do exactly as the tutorial says, it shows me an error (in all my project, zend or not), says the file wasn't found.
Then I found this tutorial on StackOverflow very handy
Can't run zend framework MVC application on WAMP
Following what the guy on the bottom of the page says takes me to the same error when I try to access my app as zendProject.local/
This is what I got
on hosts (Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts) file
127.0.0.1 blog.local
on httpd-vhosts.conf file
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName blog.local
DocumentRoot /blog/public
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory /blog/public>
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? The browser still says Not Found The requested URL /public was not found on this server when I go to http://blog.local/
I'm running WAMP on Windows. And this is the absolute path to the 'blog' project C:\wamp\www\blog
#Edit RiggsFolly
this is what I got now in the httpd-vhosts.conf file
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www"
<Directory "C:/wamp/www">
AllowOverride All
# make sure this is only allowed to be accessed by the local machine
# then if/when you open one of your other sites up to the internet and somebody uses your IP
# they will get directed here as its the first VH def and then receive a 403 not allowed to access
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName blog.local
DocumentRoot "C:/websites/blog/public"
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory "C:/websites/blog/public">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And I created a new directory at C:/ called 'websites' as you suggested
You need to be a little more specific with your folder locations. I guess this tutorial was written for Unix and you are using windows.
For Apache 2.2.x use this syntax:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName blog.local
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/blog/public"
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory "C:/wamp/www/blog/public">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
You would be better avoiding the Allow from all and using Allow from localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1 until you actually want to allow the universe to see your sites.
For Apache 2.4.x use this syntax:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName blog.local
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/blog/public"
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory "C:/wamp/www/blog/public">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Note NameVirtualHost *:80 no longer required for Apache 2.4.x
Again you would be better avoiding the Require all granted and using Require local until you actually want to allow the universe to see your sites.
EDITED After comment from Questioner:
Right, that's the Apache default. If you enter a url it cannot find a Virtual Host definition for it will default to the first Virtual Host definition you gave it, the blog in your case.
Ok, so now you need to create a Virtual Host for each of your other projects, and MOST IMPORTANTLY the first one needs to be localhost and only be allowed to be accessed from the local PC for a bit of extra security.
Now personally I would take this opportunity to move my actual sites to a totally separate folder structure outside the \wamp\ folder structure so there is no confusion with rights given to the \wamp\www folder and my other sites.
So for example, create a folder c:\websites\www and in that folder create a folder for each of your projects eg
c:\websites\www\blog
c:\websites\www\project2
Then point your virtual hosts to the relevant folder containing the site code ( this can be on another disk if you like ). This allows you to specify the Apache security ( who is allowed in to this site) specifically for each of your VHOSTS. So when you want a client or friend to be able to play with one site, you just change the security on that one site while you let them play.
Like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www"
<Directory "C:/wamp/www">
AllowOverride All
# make sure this is only allowed to be accessed by the local machine
# then if/when you open one of your other sites up to the internet and somebody uses your IP
# they will get directed here as its the first VH def and then receive a 403 not allowed to access
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName blog.local
DocumentRoot "C:/websites/www/blog/public"
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory "C:/websites/www/blog/public">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName project2.dev
DocumentRoot "C:/websites/www/project2"
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
<Directory "C:/websites/www/project2">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Require local
# this site also available to other PC's on my internal network
Require ip 192.168.0
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Remember, for each new Virtual Host site you create you also need to add that ServerName (project2.dev) to the hosts file.
hosts file:
127.0.0.1 blog.local
127.0.0.1 project2.dev
I hope this helps.
I have two Virtual Hosts on Redhat Enterprise server, one of which functions as desired. The second I a have problems when using PHP to do any kind of file operations. As far as I can tell both virtual hosts have been set up in the same. I have checked that file permissions have been set correctly on the folders/files in question. I have gone as far to set permissions to 777.
Can anyone suggest where I might have gone wrong? The virtual hosts are set up as follows:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName intranet
ServerAlias intranet *.intranet
DocumentRoot /home/burnside/public_html
<Directory "/home/burnside/public_html">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName tracker
ServerAlias tracker *.tracker
DocumentRoot /home/tracker/public_html
<Directory "/home/tracker/public_html">
Allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I am trying to install PHP-Laravel in Windows 8 and I am using Xamp server(localhost). I am following Installing Laravel guide.
According to this guide I am making virtual host using following code :
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/TssApp/public"
ServerName TssApp
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/TssApp/public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
//Where "C:/xampp/htdocs/TssApp/public" is path of Laravel public folder
and I have also added following line in in etc/hosts
127.0.0.2 TssApp
After doing necessary steps mentioned in this tutorial when I type "http://TssApp" , it always redirect to "http://tssapp/xampp/" instead of Laravel Home page. I don't know if I am missing any thing.
Note: I can access laravel home page at "http://localhost/tssapp/public/" but want
to use "http://TssApp" link to access my application.
Please help me regarding this issue.
Thanks .
Do you have NameVirtualHost * in your virtual-hosts configuration?
You'll need to restart Apache after any changes to either /etc/hosts or your virtual-hosts configuration files
Try adding the code to C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf instead of adding it to your own conf file. As far as I know xampp will ignore it unless its in the vhosts file.
You could try this.
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\TssApp\public"
ServerName tssapp
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\TssApp\public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Although you should put your files in the xampp directory and not the htdocs directory, so your files should be C:\xampp\TssApp\public, This would stop people from visiting htdocs which is a public folder and getting access to your application.
According to the documentation (that you point to), you should write
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.2>
and not
<VirtualHost *:80>
Could you try that and restart your computer/server?
Add in:
Allow from all
after
AllowOverride all
The end result should be:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/TssApp/public"
ServerName TssApp
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/TssApp/public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Also make sure you are editing the file "httpd-vhosts.conf" found in:
C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra
First time cake user and I'm having real apache problems. For some reason the .htaccess is trying to find
File does not exist: /Library/WebServer/Documents/Users
but there is no such directory as Users. I have tried setting up the following also:
/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80 >
DocumentRoot "/Users/username/Sites/mysite/app/webroot"
ServerName mysite.dev
ServerAlias www.mysite.dev mysite.dev *.mysite.dev
<Directory "/Users/username/Sites/mysite/app/webroot">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 mysite.dev
/etc/apache2/users/username.conf
<Directory "/Users/username/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
That also hasn't worked, but with a different error Failed opening required 'cake/libs/cache/file.php'
Although I'd rather not use virtual hosts, and just run it off localhost
Seems like the solution that worked for me was to edit /etc/apache2/users/username.conf and add this at the top:
DocumentRoot "/Users/username/Sites"
And the default cakePHP download now runs ok.
Looks like Apache is trying to find your webroot in a different location--the default location, if memory serves. If you want to use virtual hosts (which would be my recommendation, for whatever it's worth), ensure that the NameVirtualHost directive is uncommented. By default, it's commented out:
NameVirtualHost *:80
If you'd prefer not to use virtual hosts for whatever reason, ensure that the NameVirtualHost is commented out (your <VirtualHost> blocks will be ignored) and change the DocumentRoot value to the proper directory:
DocumentRoot "/Users/username/Sites/mysite/app/webroot"
That should tell Apache to look in the right place.
