Please let us know if you're facing any issues. Also let us know if you have any suggestions.

I spent last 2 hours configuring virtual domains and I completely lost hope.
Added 10 "parked", 10 "added" domains and....whatever I try, every time only www document root content directory is shown with it's subfolders.

Part of my httpd-vhosts.conf looks like this exactly:

####################################

#### example.cc VirtualHost ####

NameVirtualHost example.cc:80
<VirtualHost example.cc:80>
<Directory "c:/server/www/example">
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
allow from All
</Directory>
ServerName example.cc
ServerAlias example.cc
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "c:/server/www/example/cgi-bin/"
DocumentRoot "c:/server/www/example"
ErrorLog "C:/server/apache/logs/example.cc.err"
CustomLog "C:/server/apache/logs/example.cc.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
####################################

#### www.example.cc VirtualHost ####

NameVirtualHost www.example.cc:80
<VirtualHost www.example.cc:80>
<Directory "c:/server/www/example">
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
allow from All
</Directory>
ServerName www.example.cc
ServerAlias www.example.cc
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "c:/server/www/example/cgi-bin/"
DocumentRoot "c:/server/www/example"
ErrorLog "C:/server/apache/logs/www.example.cc.err"
CustomLog "C:/server/apache/logs/www.example.cc.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
I have to be doing something wrong but have no idea what :??:

Please take a look in our previous corespondence. In Ampps 1.7 virtual hosts were created in bad way ( via admin panel ).

Hi,

We tested creating Domains on local environment they are working fine. We haven't tested it on production environment. It is not recommended to use on production server.

In my opinion it is still done in a wrong way.
Ammps creates virtual host as follows:

< VirtualHost example.com:80>
while it should be:
<VirtualHost *:80>

Take a look at Apache examples:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html
In no example domain name ( example.com) follows VirtualHost.

Supposely it works for You locally after You modify hosts file, but it is not the right way.

Hi,

I know. To make domains work locally we had to do these changes.

We tried <VirtualHost *:80> but it redirected us to localhost

I see, but this spoiled acting as server in open internet.
Strange that modification of system hosts file did not work for You.
How You use DNS in Your LAN ? I think this might be a problem.

So I suggest as follows: in admin panel ( where domains are created ) add a check box: if a domain is to be for local network or open net and then create entries in vhost. conf accordingly.

I have an idea

Tell me please how is You test server configured in Your LAN.
I bet, that:
1. Server has private IP which is NATed to public address on the router
2. Server is connected to the same router interface as rest of Your computers
3. All computers and server are in the same private address range network

Am I right ?

I suspect, that Your test environment is as I described above, so this is the reason why <VirtualHost *:80> does not work for You.
You should connect Your server to another/separate router interface then NAT will work as it should.

I am shurely not server guru but network routing and shaping is my job

Hi,

Yes. I will say it again, AMPPS is for local development. The way it is working now is for "local network". All the changes made in httpd-vhosts.conf are handled by AMPPS and will be rebuild by it. Configuration built by it should work in local network.

We might add an option as you have suggested.

In case this feature is not added you can create a conf file manually as you are doing now.

I know

Adding an option would be great. After some hardenings made by our crew AMPPS works great for us for over 6 months in "open" Internet.
