[SOLVED] Xampp Virtual Host for sub directory

Issue

Question

I would like to map

www.mydomain.com/some/url

to

C:/xampp/htdocs/some/dir

What I've got

• Xampp
• Wordpress

htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /some/path/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /some/path/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Hosts file

127.0.0.1 www.mydomain.com

httpd-vhosts.conf (included in httpd.conf)

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/someDir/"
    ServerName mydomain.com/some/path
</VirtualHost>

additional info (httpd.conf)

DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"

<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Current Outcome

500 Internal Server Error error log shows

Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. 

Solution

Add the alias to your httpd.conf

DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"

<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Alias /some/url C:/xampp/htdocs/some/dir
