Managing multiple sites on XAMPP

Question

I have multiple sites deployed on xampp. For now, all of the sites are using one port i.e. 80. For this reason, whenever I am logged into one of the sites, I am automatically logged out from the other and vice versa. I have looked at this article to How to run multiple websites on XAMPP on Windows. And tried to follow it but I am unable to do the needful. I have added one more port to listen Listen 80 Listen 8080 In my httpd-vhosts.conf I have done the following NameVirtualHost *:8080 DocumentRoot "F:xampphtdocsmdc" ServerName localhost:8080 After doing this I have turned off my xampp and then tried to restart apache and mysql. But apache is not starting My URL is http://localhost:8080/mdc/backend/web Note: Without doing any virtual host setting the above URL is accessible on both 80 and 8080 ports Update 1 Herer is my httpd.conf file

This is not a fix for your issue, Here i will explain how i manage multiple websites on xampp.

First i assumes that your using windows

i always use the same port with different server names.

on : E:xamppapacheconfextrahttpd-vhosts.conf (In my case i installed xampp on E drive) i added this code

    <VirtualHost *:80>
      DocumentRoot "e:/xampp/htdocs/mysite1"
      ServerName mysite1.flames.com
    </VirtualHost>

    <VirtualHost *:80>
      DocumentRoot "e:/xampp/htdocs/mysite2"
      ServerName mysite2.flames-team.com
    </VirtualHost>

And on ( C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts) my windows host file i added this lines

127.0.0.1 mysite1.flames.com
127.0.0.1 mysite2.flames-team.com

With this approach you can access the site with a clean readable URLs

In this case if you want to see the first site just enter this URL mysite1.flames.com on browser.

Cheers
