This is for a local website only; it is not for a website to be exposed to the internet. I am using Windows.
I am new to Apache. I am confused about the use of domain names for local websites. I tried a variety of things but then I managed to get a website working using http://localhost:81 as the address. The default website that Apache creates is of course at http://localhost (http://localhost:80).
I just want to know what possible problems there might be. This is not for a production website; it is just a personal website and/or a temporary website for demonstration purposes only.
I added the following to my httpd.conf:
| Code: | Listen 81
.
.
.
<Directory "G:/Sam/Documents/Web Site">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Require all granted
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:81>
DocumentRoot "G:/Sam/Documents/Web Site"
</VirtualHost>
|
And that works. What could be a problem with that? |

Require local is your friend.
| Code: |
Listen 81
<VirtualHost *:81>
DocumentRoot "G:/Sam/Documents/Web Site"
<Directory "G:/Sam/Documents/Web Site">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
