I have an entry in my hosts file redirecting a URL to localhost for use in AMPPS, mydomain.com. In AMPPS, I have set up the domain mydomain.com. This worked up until ~December, when I believe there was some sort of update or patch. Since then, when I go to mydomain.com, it directs me to the index of localhost, where I then have to click the link to mydomain.com. The address resolves to mydomain.com/mydomain.com. I have tried various configuration changes and several clean installs, but I have accomplished nothing but proving the "sure sign of madness" adage.

Wordpress handles localhost/mydomain just fine, but my personal vanilla projects use root-relative architecture so localhost/mydomain is not an option. If this is a known issue, or if someone else has experienced this and fixed it, I would appreciate a hand. Since December, I have moved over to a CentOS server on VirtualBox so this is not slowing down my production (and I learned a lot of CLI too, so the net result has been good). It's just annoying not to know what the issue is.

Hi,

Open Apache Configuration and check vhost conf is added or not.

To open Apache config : AMPPS Panel --> Apache Settings --> Click on Configuration.

In config file search for following line:
#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Remove only '#' and save the file.

I accessed the file in question. The line you mention is already uncommented.

Following the spirit of your advice, I went to the httpd-vhosts.conf file and sure enough, the vhosts file had an improper configuration. I never thought to check this, as I assumed that AMPPS would configure the vhosts file correctly (and it always had before). I simply changed the name of the VirtualHost from 127.0.0.1:80 to mydomain.com:80 and now my site works as intended.

I consider this issue resolved now. Thank you for your input, as you led me right to the solution :)

unfortunately editing the httpd-vhosts.conf file didn't work for me.  Always directs to the root.

scratch that...It's working now and I'm not really sure why.  May have been some combination of setting php version to 5.6 and then back to 7 and restarting may have made this work.

I get the same problem.- in Apache conf, the line Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf is well uncommented.- The httpd-vhost.conf file seems well configurate.

But if some of my localhost domain are working well, other not. They redirect like described in this post.

When I set up a new wordpress install on a new localhost domain, it doesn't work. I get the same redirect. mynewsite.localhost resolves to localhost. And when I then have to click the link to mynewsite.localhost, it resolve to mynewsite.localhost/mynewsite.localhost.

The last one display a landing page of wordpress with no picture, no css. You can see what it looks like on the screenshot.
Can someone help me ?
Thank you
