[guide] Setting up WAMP w/Mysidia

[Kyttias]

Just make sure your inc/config.php file matches whatever it is that you're trying to access...? If it requires 8080 as part of the url, make sure that's part of the configuration's file.

I have another solution, though it's an added layer of complexity. Because you're acting as your own server, you can create a "Virtual Host" which will allow you essentially make a fake domain name (fake, because only you can access it... I tend to end my fake sites in .dev but you really could make it anything). Here's a guide that should help. Because you'll be accessing the site at something other than either localhost or 127.0.0.1, it'll route it properly every time.

Hi Kyttias,

This is my config file;

<?php
//Mysidia Adoptables Site Configuration File

define('DBHOST', '127.0.0.1');             //DB Hostname
define('DBUSER', 'root');             //DB Username
define('DBPASS', '*****');             //DB Password
define('DBNAME', 'mysite');             //Your database name
define('DOMAIN', '127.0.0.1:8080');             //Your domain name (No http, www or . )
define('SCRIPTPATH', '/Mysidia');     //The folder you installed this script in
define('PREFIX', 'adopts_');
?>

If 127.0.0.1:8080/Mysidia works (but wont let me login) then these settings look correct.

I followed that procedure you linked to, but came up with this error:

ERR_ICANN_NAME_COLLISION

Apparently Chrome does not like you using .dev
So I tried .loc , .local , .localhost
and they all just went to google search instead.

I restarted Xampp each time.

I've even attempted to try this - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204684

So, maybe its the files themselves? Well, here's what I have.

.hosts

	127.0.0.1       localhost
	127.0.0.1       www.mysidia.localhost

I've even tried added the 8080 port, just in case, but that didn't work either.

...-vhosts.config

NameVirtualHost *:8080

<VirtualHost *:8080>
       DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/"
       ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/Mysidia"
ServerName mysidia.localhost
ServerAlias www.mysidia.localhost
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/Mysidia">
AllowOverride All
Require all Granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I am at my wits end trying to work this out >.<
