After acquiring a new domain I had to set up the Virtual Host in Apache. I went to httpd.conf and uncommented the Virtual Hosts Include line which includes the conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf file. Then I edited the vhosts file and added the following block:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "c:/apache/mydomain" ServerName mydomain.com <Directory "c:/apache/mydomain"> Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> |
Then I restarted the Apache service and my new domain worked. My thanks to this post for guidance that lead to the Directory directive included above.
