How to set virtual host in xampp?

Question

I tried to set up virtual host in xampp for my website. For this I set host file like:

127.0.0.1           siteurl

I am adding code in httpd-vhosts.conf file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost.com
      DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/foldername"
      ServerName siteurl
      <Directory />
        AllowOverride none
        Require all denied
      </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

After that put the siteurl in browser then, I got the xampp dashboard. How can I get my website by entering my siteurl. can you please help me anyone.

Your settings seem correct. Check your apache `httpd.conf` to see if your `httpd-vhosts.conf` is included or commented out. If the line starts with a `#` then remove the `#`. Then restart apache — Ant, Jun 14 '21 at 20:02
DNS gets cached. Try running `ipconfig /flushdns` in your command window after you update hosts file — Kinglish, Jun 14 '21 at 20:05
Please share more details. Did you restart the servers properly, such that the changed configuration gets read? — Nico Haase, Jun 22 '21 at 13:15

You're Directory needs the absolute path to your DocumentRoot and you were closing that tag, remove the /. Also, windows requires \ instead of / in the root paths. Also I opened up your permissions a little for testing. Yours seemed very restrictive and could cause problems in getting it up and running

<VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost.com
      DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\foldername"
      ServerName siteurl
      <Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\foldername">
        Require all granted
        AllowOverride All  
        # AllowOverride none 
        # Require all denied
      </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Also, when you update your hosts file, you need to clear your DNS cache which usually happens when you restart, but you can also run this command in your command window:

ipconfig /flushdns

I tried with this code, but this is not working for me. Again shows the same page – Teresa Jun 14 '21 at 20:11
did you restart apache? – Kinglish Jun 14 '21 at 20:16
ok, I updated the answer. Your paths need to use backslashes . please change and restart apache – Kinglish Jun 14 '21 at 20:24
I tried with these code also, but no change – Teresa Jun 14 '21 at 20:36
Hmm.. those were all deal-breaking errors. Are you sure your vhosts file is loading? Try running these command line tests located here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7568100/1772933 – Kinglish Jun 14 '21 at 20:42
What do you see when you run this command in the command window? `a2query -s` – Kinglish Jun 14 '21 at 20:54
I added another edit to my answer. Please try that and restart apache. Thanks – Kinglish Jun 14 '21 at 21:09
