how to set domain name on localhost linux ubuntu xampp
>>> cutshort of the youtube video
we need to edit three files
1) /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf
-> in this file search httpd-vhosts.conf
and uncomment it
like this
(
# Virtual hosts
Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
)
2) then goto /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
and add these following lines
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs/projectFolderName"
ServerName projectDomainName
<Directory "/opt/lampp/htdocs/projectFolderName">
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
(
replace projectFolderName with your project folder name
and projectDomainName with the domain name you want to have
)
3) goto /etc/hosts
add this line
127.0.0.1 projectDomainName
don't forget to open all these files with sudo and save them ,
restart the xampp and that's it ! enjoy
