Question

I’m using Wamp 2.2, edited conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf edited this file to add VirtualHosts , but when I un-commented line in httpd.conf to include httpd-vhosts.conf file, after restarting Wamp doesn’t starts. If I revert changes is works fine.

Any ideas why is this happening?

This is code I’m using in httpd-vhost.conf:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerAdmin [e-mail]
    DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www" # change this line with your htdocs folder
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias localhost
    <Directory "C:/wamp/www">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

# WooCommerce Multisite
<VirtualHost dev.lo>
    ServerAdmin [e-mail]
    DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/dev"
    ServerName dev.lo
    ServerAlias dev.lo
    <Directory "C:/wamp/www/dev">
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Thanks

Edit

As Andreas Hagen suggested, I run Apache via httpd.exe.

First error was wrong parameter for DocumentRoot, as appears comment like was taken as second parameter, when DocumentRoot accepts only one.

Then I got warning: [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts. Did a quick search and found very helpful question – https://serverfault.com/questions/1405/apache-2-startup-warning-namevirtualhost-80-has-no-virtualhosts

Probably some bad config in vhosts file. Try to start apache from commandline so you get the error output. That will help you identify your problem.
