Adding VirtualHost Fails: Access Forbidden Error 403 (XAMPP) (Windows 7)


Answer :

Okay: This is what I did now and it's solved:

My httpd-vhosts.conf looks like this now:

<VirtualHost dropbox.local:80>     DocumentRoot "E:/Documenten/Dropbox/Dropbox/dummy-htdocs"     ServerName dropbox.local     ErrorLog "logs/dropbox.local-error.log"     CustomLog "logs/dropbox.local-access.log" combined     <Directory "E:/Documenten/Dropbox/Dropbox/dummy-htdocs">         # AllowOverride All      # Deprecated         # Order Allow,Deny       # Deprecated         # Allow from all         # Deprecated          # --New way of doing it         Require all granted         </Directory> </VirtualHost> 

First, I saw that it's necessary to have set the <Directory xx:xx> options. So I put the <Directory > [..] </Directory>-part INSIDE the <VirtualHost > [..] </VirtualHost>. After that, I added AllowOverride AuthConfig Indexes to the <Directory> options.

Now http://localhost also points to the dropbox-virtualhost. So I added dropbox.local to <VirtualHost *:80> which makes it as <VirtualHost dropbox.local:80>

FINALLY it works :D!

I'm a happy man! :) :)

I hope someone else can use this information.


For me worked when I changed "directory" content into this:

<Directory  "*YourLocation*"> Options All AllowOverride All Require all granted   </Directory> 

For me (also XAMPP on Windows 7), this is what worked:

<Directory "C:\projects\myfolder\htdocs">`    AllowOverride All    Require all granted    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks </Directory>`  

It is this line that would cause the 403:

Order allow,deny
