    Hi
    I am using Wamp server 2.2.
    i recently made some changes to the Apache configuration to allow me to make a virtual host for the Zendframework. the change i made were as follows:


    <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
    ServerName zendy
    DocumentRoot "C:\workspace\zendy\public"
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
    <Directory "C:\workspace\zendy\public">
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    AllowOverride All
    Order Deny,Allow
    Allow from all
    </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

    Since these changes were made, my wamp server will not start up. the wamp bar remain red.

    can somebody please advise me what i have to do to find out/trace where the fault is?
    warm regards

    You should first check the error.log file. Normally you can see the problem in that file. You should post the output here.

    i made changes to the file: extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
    thereafter the apache refused to start up and i got the above error messages
    the changes that i made to apache were:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName gamenomad.localhost
    DocumentRoot C:\wamp\www\gamenomad\public
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
    <Directory C:\wamp\www\gamenomad\public
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

    i would appriciate any advised about what i could have done wrong

    warm regards

    Andreea,

    Can you post the entire httpd.conf file here? Also, what exactly did you change since wamp used to work? What extra lines did you add?
