I’m having what appears to be a common problem but any solutions I’ve found don’t seem to work for my case.
I’m trying to set up a virtual host so that I can access the public file of my Laravel installation by going to “walkpeakdistrict.local” but when I type this address into google chrome I am always redirected to the xampp dashboard at this address “https://walkpeakdistrict.local/dashboard/“.
I’ve installed Laravel in the following xampp directory: c:/xampp/htdocs/walkpeakdistrict_uk.
I have “C:xamppapacheconfextrahttpd-vhosts.conf” set up as follows:
<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs" ServerName localhost </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/walkpeakdistrict_uk/public" ServerName walkpeakdistrict.local </VirtualHost>
And I have “C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts” set up as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 walkpeakdistrict.local
If anyone could offer any insight into this issue I would be very grateful.

Ok, I’m not sure why this was an issue but it seems to work when I change the virtual host’s server name to anything other than “.local”.
Thanks again to all who replied!
