XAMPP | Apache: Config for 'httpd-vhosts.conf' Implementing multi-ports and multi-virtualHosts [Part 3 of 4]
Raw
apache_multiPort_multiHost_httpd-vhosts.conf.md

[Part 3 of 4] Apache Multi-Port & Multi-Host 'httpd-vhosts.conf'


In order to have a multi-port configuration for different virtual hosts (projects, websites) on Apache in XAMPP, you need to make changes to the following 3 Apache configuration files and 1 windows host file:

1. httpd.conf (\XAMPP\apache\conf)

2. httpd-ssl.conf (\XAMPP\apache\conf\extra)

3. httpd-vhosts.conf (\XAMPP\apache\conf\extra) 👇 This file 👇

4. Windows 'hosts' file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc)


👉 Target Scenario:

1) Implement 4 named and independent Virtual Hosts
2) Implement 4 different HTTP ports for above Virtual Hosts (8081, 8083, 8085, 8087)
3) Implement 4 different HTTPS ports for above Virtual Hosts (8082, 8084, 8086, 8088)

Checkout the following gist links for complete changes to above configuration files each:

1. [Part 1 of 4] Apache Multi-Port & Multi-Host 'httpd.conf' Config

2. [Part 2 of 4] Apache Multi-Port & Multi-Host 'httpd-ssl.conf' Config

3. [Part 3 of 4] Apache Multi-Port & Multi-Host 'httpd-vhosts.conf'

4. [Part 4 of 4] Apache Multi-Port & Multi-Host Windows hosts file Config


httpd-vhosts.conf (\XAMPP\apache\conf\extra)

Note the changes done for following directives in this file:

(a) HTTP VirtualHost *: 80
(b) HTTPS VirtualHost *: 443

👉 NOTE: Do not copy the whole file 'as-is', because it has been lifted from my production environment and may have hard-coded directory paths. I recommend only to refer the quoted key changes/modifications


# Virtual Hosts
#
# Required modules: mod_log_config

# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at 
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
##NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:8081
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ##ServerName or ##ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
