Virtual host url can’t be reached

samyrooster

I use Windows 10 home.

I created a blank app via Quick app menu and named it myapp.

But the http://myapp.test is not accessible and it returns:

This site can’t be reached
myapp.test’s server IP address could not be found.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

The localhost url works well and it returns Laragon default startup page. But the virtual host urls is not.
I have checked the drivers\etc\hosts and the virtual host is added to it:

127.0.0.1      myapp.test           #laragon magic!

I also tried with IE and Edge browsers but it returns the same error.

The auto.myapp.test.conf is added to Apache>sites-enabled.

I also entered the command ipconfig /flushdns in cmd but no changes.

I always start laragon as admininstrator.

I have no problem in Windows 7 with Laragon. But I have this issue in my Windows 10.

I also tried to change Apache port (8000) but not success for virtual host urls.

Also switched to Nginx (8080) but exactly the same problem.

What's the problem?

Thanks

@samyrooster : The root cause of the issue is related to DNS. Can you show me the result when you ping?

ping myapp.test

Or

nslookup  myapp.test

Didn't get response:

Ping request could not find host myapp.test. Please check the name and try again.

@samyrooster : That's the point. For some reasons your hosts file doesn't work. I think it is related to permission (Read property of the file).
You can follow this article to sort it out:

Thanks. The problem was because of some duplicated domains in hosts file.
