Since the setup of Virtual Hosts for WordPress Website is done, here is what the final results would look like: Restart Apache and visit your virtual host URL, in our case it’s “ farhan.cw” and check whether the domain has been set up successfully. Then open wp_options and click edit the site URL from to, and home URL from to. Now, it’s time to change the database URL (a very important step to configure virtual host).įor this, open your browser and go to and select your database. Configure WordPress Site URLĪt this point, I am assuming that you have a WordPress website set up. You can see that the domain has been changed successfully and a 500 internal server error appears for your previous URL ( Next, we need to change the site URL of our WordPress and therefore, we need to access the database. Once you are done, you need to restart Apache and MySQL from the XAMPP control panel and check whether opens up in your browser. Next, open the Host file in your text editor and add the following line in the Host file. Now, go to Windows > Search > Run and paste the following line: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts Directory: It is the directory of our virtual host.ServerName: It is the URL for our virtual host.In our case, the folder name is “testing”. DocumentRoot: The folder where files of a site will exist.However, you can change the port to 8080, 8081, etc. VirtualHost: Most web servers use port 80 as their default port.Now, paste the following code at the end of the file text/code: In my case, my XAMPP file is located in drive D. In this article, I’m creating a virtual host in a local environment to work around different WordPress projects.įirst, you need to navigate to D:\xampp\apache\conf\extra or wherever your XAMPP files are located. If you are interested in setting up a new WordPress site on XAMPP, we have created a detailed guide that goes into the details of installing and running up a WordPress site on XAMPP. I am assuming that you already have XAMPP and WordPress installed on your Windows 10. In this tutorial, I am going to demonstrate how you can set up and configure virtual hosts for WordPress websites with XAMPP running on Windows 10. The stack supports the same components as the actual web server and it ensures that when the time comes to take the project live, the database(s) and whole website (s) could be moved easily without any hassle. XAMPP stack provides you a local platform where you can install and run your WordPress sites right from your Desktop/Mac. If you are working with WordPress, setting up virtual hosts and XAMPP stack is a straightforward task.
The local setup provides a flexible development environment for experimenting the new techniques and most importantly managing the project code is a simple matter. These fantastic courses by Nuri Halperin helped me to learn a lot more about MongoDB.Follow developers start web development in their local environment and when the work is done, they migrate their site to a live environment. Hope you found this tutorial useful in the process of installing and configuring MongoDB on your Windows machine with XAMPP.įor the next step, I recommend checking out the following MongoDB online courses on Pluralsight: Just create connection and you are set to go. Download and install RoboMongoĪs an extra step I would recommend installing MongoDB management tool, such as RoboMongo, (it’s called Robo 3T now) to easily manage MongoDB on your machine. Just in case you need extra help with step 5, here is the entire process explained with images. That is it, you successfully installed MongoDB on Windows and configured it in XAMPP!
