Virtual hosts - all redirected to the WAMP localhost homepage

Question

I installed the latest version of WAMP on my Windows 8 PC - I cannot get several virtual hosts to work, each local URL that I download will show the WAMP home page.

Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?

// My hosts file
127.0.0.1   localhost   
127.0.0.1   client1.localhost
127.0.0.1   client2.localhost

I have two folders in my WAMP directory, 'client1' and 'client2', it is obvious that each folder will link client1 and client2 in the main file above.

// My virtual hosts file
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName localhost
  DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName client1.localhost
  DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www\client1"
<Directory "C:\wamp\www\client1">
  allow from all
  order allow,deny
  AllowOverride All
</Directory>
 DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName client2.localhost
  DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www\client2"
<Directory "C:\wamp\www\client2">
  allow from all
  order allow,deny
  AllowOverride All
</Directory>
  DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
 </VirtualHost>

Answer 1

I followed this guide and it worked fine

I had to change the way ...

<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerAdmin [e-mail]
 DocumentRoot "c:\wamp\www\client1"
 ServerName client1.localhost
 ErrorLog "logs/client1.log"
 CustomLog "logs/client1-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

First, your directory structure should never exceed the folder wwwfor security purposes.

- c:\wamp\www (home)
    -c:\wamp\www\client1 (client1)
    -c:\wamp\www\client2 (client2)

Secondly, a change in vhost requires reload, but in your case you have to do restart, because it wampdoes not offer reload.
