edb Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edb Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 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 ( Plus now the "localhost" returns the following; Bad request!

wildteen88 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 When setting up Virtualhosts on Apache I found this tutorial usefull. Also to see why Apache is not starting up it should log the error in Apaches error log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edb Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
