Hi,

Try ignoring the warning and check it anyway. Check if it adds the entry or not in the hosts file.

Hi.

Same here.
UAC is disabled and the httpd-vhosts.conf file look like this:

Code
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>

<Directory "access denied: you dont have permissions to edit hosts file.">

Options FollowSymLinks Indexes

AllowOverride All

Order deny,allow

allow from All

</Directory>

ServerName dev-projects

ServerAlias dev-projects

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "access denied: you dont have permissions to edit hosts file./cgi-bin/"

DocumentRoot "access denied: you dont have permissions to edit hosts file."

ErrorLog "C:/Ampps/apache/logs/dev-projects.err"

CustomLog "C:/Ampps/apache/logs/dev-projects.log" combined

</VirtualHost>

The apache server does not start until I fix this file.

I am getting this problem in Windows 10.
Uac is disabled and I have set full control to my user account for the host file. I have also tried running AMPPS as admin but no luck.

Any ideas?
