I love AMPPS! It is fast way to make your Windows machine able to develop dynamic applications and lot of more.
Create domain project.local
- start AMMPS with administration rights (allowed access to etc/hosts file)
- on homepage click to Add domain
- domain name is project.local
- Domain Addon or Parked checked
- my path is like c:/dev/project/www
- Add an entry to Host File checked
Problem
If I try to look at http://project.local, there is no my site, but directory listing of AMMPS located in c:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\www\. This is DocumentRoot setting in httpd-vhosts.conf. Configuration contains also
ServerName 127.0.0.1:80
Virtual host is created ok in c:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf and looks like this:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80> <Directory "c:/dev/project/www"> Options FollowSymLinks Indexes AllowOverride All Order deny,allow allow from All </Directory> ServerName project.local ServerAlias project.local ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "c:/dev/project/www/cgi-bin/" DocumentRoot "c:/dev/project/www" ErrorLog "C:/Program Files (x86)/Ampps/apache/logs/project.local.err" CustomLog "C:/Program Files (x86)/Ampps/apache/logs/project.local.log" combined </VirtualHost>
I also need to work with subdomains like test.project.local, test2.project.local, test3.project.local etc.
Notice: Try to look at Windows vhosts file and check if there is route for specific domain only once, because it can cause bad routing.
127.0.0.1 project.local127.0.0.1 project.local
Solution
Change Virtual host tag to specific domain name, and change ServerAlias to wildcard:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
<Directory "c:/dev/project/www">
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
allow from All
</Directory>
ServerName project.local
ServerAlias *.project.local
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "c:/dev/project/www/cgi-bin/"
DocumentRoot "c:/dev/project/www"
ErrorLog "C:/Program Files (x86)/Ampps/apache/logs/project.local.err"
CustomLog "C:/Program Files (x86)/Ampps/apache/logs/project.local.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
And restart Apache server and it works! Domain is working, and also any subdomains are accessible.
And of course same change for SSL mode access..
<IfModule ssl_module>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:443>
<Directory "c:/dev/project/www">
Options FollowSymLinks
Indexes AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
allow from All
</Directory>
ServerName project.local
ServerAlias *.project.local
...
But..
Each time you create new domain by AMPPS, httpd-vhosts.conf configuration will be overwrited by AMMPS! It is suggested as phorum topic, so we will see in future if it will be implemented as optional setting.
