Fixing the xampp VirtualHost Not Working Issue

If you've ever struggled with getting xampp to recognize a specific VirtualHost, you are not alone. Many users encounter issues when trying to direct their browser to custom folders rather than the default htdocs folder that comes with xampp. One common scenario involves needing to display a project located in a nested folder, which can seem complicated. In this post, we’ll explore how to resolve the issue of xampp VirtualHost not working, so you can see your desired project directly in your web browser.

Understanding the Problem

You might find that when you enter a personalized URL like ssv2.localhost in the browser, instead of reaching your project's files, you are redirected to the default htdocs folder. The following steps outline what you may have done and where things may be going wrong:

Hosts File: The entry in the hosts file may not be configured properly.

VirtualHost Configuration: There might be issues in your httpd-vhosts.conf file or missing directives in httpd.conf.

Restarting XAMPP: Ensuring XAMPP is properly restarted to apply the changes.

Step-by-Step Solution

Here’s how you can fix the issue in a structured way:

1. Modify the httpd-vhosts.conf

Open the httpd-vhosts.conf file, located at apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf, and make the following changes:

Add NameVirtualHost Directives: This tells Apache to listen for the VirtualHost directives.

4. Restart XAMPP

After making the changes above, restart the XAMPP server to ensure that all configurations are reloaded.

Conclusion

After following the steps detailed above, you should now be able to navigate to https://ssv2.localhost in your browser and access your project files located in E:\xampp_8_1_6\htdocs\shopping_project\v2\files. If you follow these instructions carefully, you'll have a smooth and functional local development environment.

By tackling these configurations diligently, you’ll find it much easier to manage your projects on xampp. If you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out!
