CI4 virtual host problem - muuucho - 12-04-2019

The docs states in "Codeigniter4 overview / Application structure / public" that

"This folder is meant to be the “web root” of your site, and your web server would be configured to point to it.

So I have setup a virtual host like this for my project "ci4" that resides in htdocs of my xampp installation. I am on windows 10.

httpd-vhosts.conf

Code:
NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/ci4/public"

ServerName ci4.local

<Directory "c:/xampp/htdocs/ci4/public">

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

hosts

Code:
127.0.0.1       localhost

::1             localhost

127.0.0.1     ci4.local

I can now enter my codeigniter project by requesting "ci4.local/". That works fine. But when I try to visit xampp's dashboard by requesting simply "localhost" I am served codeigniter's welcome page. What is wrong?

you have set multiple virtual host but different ServerName, like this:

httpd-vhosts.conf

Code:
NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/localhost/public"

ServerName localhost

<Directory "c:/xampp/htdocs/localhost/public">

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/ci4/public"

ServerName ci4.local

<Directory "c:/xampp/htdocs/ci4/public">

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Read this may help you out, I had to rename index.php to index.php.sav so that it
did not keep going to the dashboard.

Xampp localhost/dashboard

My problem is that I can't reach XAMPP's dashboard. If I request "localhost" I expect to see the dashboard of Xampp, instead I get codeigniter's welcome page.

Solved: the httpd-vhosts.conf shall be like this:

Code:
NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/ci4/public"

ServerName ci4.local

<Directory "c:/xampp/htdocs/ci4/public">

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs"

ServerName localhost

<Directory "c:/xampp/htdocs">

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>
