just installed XAMPP and have tried setting up a local server but the address won't resolve. It will lead to a "Connection Was Reset" error. I tried looking in the logs but none were present so I'm instantly suspcious of something not being set up right.. but I can't seem to track it down..

here's my vhosts file (/etc/apache2/extra):

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/site"
    ServerName site.local
    ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/site.local-access_log" com$
    CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/site.local-error_log"
    <Directory "/var/www/site">
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

and my host file (/etc):

127.1.2.3       site.local
127.1.2.3       www.site.local

Apache (when restarted) starts without any issues so not really sure what's wrong?

Thanks

127.1.2.3 should be 127.0.0.1 that corresponds to your localhost.

  • The ip for a localhost can be set to anything within the 127. range and work.. or at least it does in windows, I changed the .1. to .0. and that worked, I think the IP has to be set in the format of 127.0.x.x to work... bit of a weird thing but whatever gets it to work, will mark yours as right as you implied changing the IP to fix it which did fix it but the logic behind it is invalid (ish) Thanks :)

  • Well, at least you solved! :D I always used that one for localhost, by the way I have no idea about the possibility to use another one for localhost. I'm not caring about it anymore since I'm now using vagrant for local development (virtual machines, take a look on it and you'll love it).
