Question

So, lately I’ve been working on some projects, using Laravel is great, but I can’t figure out how to properly set up the VirtualHost, because everytime I do, I can only visit the current project I am working on, other links giving me errors.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /Users/JonSnow/Sites/MySite/public
    ServerName mysite.dev
</VirtualHost>

I have this on the end in my httpd.conf, how can I properly change it to allow me to visit localhost/ and other project installations?

Current:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot C:/Users/www
    ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot C:/Users/game/public
    ServerName localhost/game
</VirtualHost>

Now… I just want localhost to be my ordinary and simply point localhost/game to the public folder.

You should be able to pull it off with:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   DocumentRoot /Users/JonSnow/Sites
   ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

as long as NameVirtualHost *:80 is added somewhere in your httpd.conf file.

That works for me anyhow 🙂
