Apache Virtual Host Problem

I installed Wamp Server 2 on my computer. I succesfully hosted one website. I found directions to setup virtual hosts. Now neither of my websites work.

Virtual host config:


Here is my hosts file:


does anyone know whats wrong?

thanks for any help

Tell us about what you did, start from the beginning and spare no details.

Ok, first I bought a domain name, najisite.com. Then I downloaded Abyss Web Server. My website didn't work remotely so I configured my router with a virtual server to forward requests to my computer. A little while later I decided I wanted to put a forum on najisite.com. I had already setup php with Abyss. I tried to setup MySQL but it was very difficult and everybody told me it was a waste of time. I uninstalled Abyss and installed Wamp Server 2, free php, apache & MySQL server software. This worked fine. Some of my friends wanted websites so I thought maybe I could setup name-based virtual hosts. I bought soaringserver.com as a place for people to go to edit their websites and also as a test for the virtual hosting. I found directions(http://guides.jlbn.net/setvh/setvh1.html) for virtual hosts made specifically for Wamp Server 2 and I followed them. It gave me a FORBIDDEN error. I changed different parts of what it told me to do thinking maybe they had made a mistake. It still didn't work. I went to severaal different forums asking for help and nobody seemed to know what was wrong. I found this forum with a google search and here I am.

"Forbidden" errors are usually a problem with permissions for one of the folders Apache (yes wamp is using Apache) needs to use.

Did you copy/paste those virtualhost containers directly from your configuration ?

I can see a likely typo in one line. Note the period/dot after the word "najisite".


What doesn't make sense is that both sites would give you a forbidden error after adding a second virtual host.

Try this:


I am not familiar with the Window's env as it relates to Apache, however I have not hear of adding protocols to the ServerName directive.
Also make sure you removed the default entries for virtual hosts.

Those ServerName directive looked odd to me too, but sure enough,

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I've used all of them and I still get the same error. I'd still appreciate suggestions, I'm just letting you guys know that none of them work so far.
