POXAMPP apache server not using the ports I desire, not certain why
text
Body
copied!<p>So, I've been setting up this HTTP server for a school project that has to be able to maintain multiple domains through virtual hosts. Using XAMPP I have my server set up, I thought I'd done it properly but perhaps not. </p> <p>I had heaps of issues with not being able to listen to a port, to solve this I used (in httpd.conf under apache/conf/)</p> <pre><code> Listen 0.0.0.0:8080 ServerName localhost:8080 </code></pre> <p>If I used 80/81/8080/321/any combination that did not have the prefix 0.0.0.0 it told me the port could not be listened or whatever (sorry, a little rusty with my syntax).</p> <p>I set up my first virtual host up like so (under apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf):</p> <pre><code>NameVirtualHost *:8080 <VirtualHost *:8080> DocumentRoot "H:/xampp2/xampp/htdocs" ServerName localhost:8080 <Directory "H:/xampp2/xampp/htdocs"> Option Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> </code></pre> <p>I thought this seemed all good and well and I don't believe I've modified anything else. To me, I would expect that this means my Apache server would use port 8080 for the server? However, when I start Apache in XAMPP it states quite clearly </p> <pre><code> Apache started [Port 80] </code></pre> <p>Why would this be port 80?</p> <p>In conjunction, localhost:8080 doesn't navigate me to the documents, but localhost:80 or localhost do. I presume that this just means it's still on port 80. I've tried resetting my computer and XAMPP. </p> <p>If you need any more information, please let me know. I tried following guides such as this one: <a href="http://ailoo.net/2008/07/set-up-multiple-virtual-hosts-on-xampp-for-windows/" rel="nofollow">http://ailoo.net/2008/07/set-up-multiple-virtual-hosts-on-xampp-for-windows/</a></p> <p>Cheers.</p> <p>Oh, I also edited my Windows HOSTS file; it looks like so:</p> <pre><code># localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost:8080 </code></pre> <p>Edit: New error... Now getting this when I init, doesn't seem to be affecting it though: </p> <pre><code> ERROR: Status Check Failure [3] This program must be run from your XAMPP root directory. </code></pre> <p>It is being run from teh root directory as far as I can tell.</p>
