Apache 2.2.8 cannot run when I specificy VirtualHost s

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm running apache 2.2.8 in the most recently XAMPP release and am trying to set up a virtualhost using the following code in the httpd.conf file;

 

NameVirtualHost *

 

<VirtualHost *>

ServerName apress

DocumentRoot "C:/Documents and Settings/Ed Barnett/My Documents/Websites/Apress">

</VirtualHost>

 

This code is right at the bottom of the file. I turn apache on and off without the above code... it even works with "NameVirtualHost *" in the code... but if I include anything more it simply won't allow me to start apache again. Can anyone help?

I can see the reason firstly - bad code... a premature ">" after DocumentRoot was specified.

 

However, I still can't get apache to run again. Help still needed :o(

 

 

Plus now the "localhost" returns the following;

 

 

Bad request!

Your browser (or proxy) sent a request that this server could not understand.

 

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

 

Error 400

Thanks for the reply wildteen. I set up the other virtualhost to point to the original localhost htdocs directory now but the following error comes up which is described in the error log as follows;

 

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

 

In the log : C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/xampp/.htaccess: Invalid file path C:\\Program FilesC:\\Program Files\\xampp\\security\\xampp.users
