title: Virtual host not working on XAMPP, something very strange happenning
body: <p>Hi I have browsed all the resources, but still seems can't find the solution.</p>
  
  <p>I have XAMPP Control Panel v 3.2.4 (compiled Jun 5th 2019) installed on my computer, it is installed in d:\xampp. I want to create a Virtual host, so that I can correctly  use various global PATH variables.</p>
  
  <p>I followed instructions closely.</p>
  
  <p>This is from my D:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
       ServerName localhost
       DocumentRoot "D:\xampp\htdocs"
       &lt;Directory "D:\xampp\htdocs"&gt;
           DirectoryIndex index.php
       &lt;/Directory&gt;
   &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  
  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
       ServerName ikeen.localhost
       DocumentRoot "D:\xampp\htdocs\ikeen"
       SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
       &lt;Directory "D:\xampp\htdocs\ikeen"&gt;
           DirectoryIndex index.php
           AllowOverride All
           Order allow,deny
           Allow from all        
       &lt;/Directory&gt;
   &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have added following lines to the end of httpd.conf:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Directory /&gt;
      AllowOverride none
      Require all granted
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have the following line in my hosts file in windows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>127.0.0.1      ikeen.localhost
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the structure of my site directory</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Vf9ju.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Vf9ju.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>In order to avoid cache I open URL in the incognito mode and from different browsers. I always get redirect to dashboard - <a href="https://ikeen.localhost/dashboard/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://ikeen.localhost/dashboard/</a>, it opens the standard "Welcome to XAMPP for Windows 7.4.3"</p>
  
  <p>I have heard that it has something to do with https, as I'm always transferred to https URL even if I try to use http. I've looked at httpd-ssl.conf, but I don't know what to do there. Any ideas?</p>
