Answer 1

Step 1: -

We need to set document root to pub, to do this go to file C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/magento24/pub"
    ServerName yourname.magento.com
</VirtualHost>

paste this code at the bottom of the file.

yourname.magento.com - this is domain name which you set as per your wish. So now you need to access magento frontend and admin with base url "yourname.magento.com".

Step 2:-

Now lets edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file and add the below line at the bottom of the file.

 127.0.0.1  yourname.magento.com

Step 3: - Update the base URL:

Go to our magento database and run below command

  UPDATE core_config_data SET value='http://yourname.magento.com/' WHERE path='web/unsecure/base_url';

Step 4:- Update the app/etc/env.php file

The following node needs to be appended to the env.php file.

'directories' => [
    'document_root_is_pub' => true
 ]

Step 5 : - Switch to developer mode.

php bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer
php bin/magento cache:flush

Hurray !!! All done .... Lets check your

homepage http://yourname.magento.com/ and

admin page http://yourname.magento.com/admin

Answer 2

This is not a Magento issue, most likely your question will be closed.

This seems to be a XAMPP issue. You will have to set up a virtual host in your XAMPP.

Learn how to setup Virtual Host in your XAMPP here: https://www.wpwhitesecurity.com/multiple-websites-xampp/

After setting virtual host, don't forget to add your domain in to your hosts file. https://www.wpwhitesecurity.com/windows-hosts-file/

Answer 3

This issue is caused by the fact that you don't have a dedicated virtual host for your magento installation. As of Magento 2.4.2, the document root has to be point to the <magento_root>/pub folder otherwise you won't be able to access your shop's frontend or backend properly.

So if you don't have a dedicated virtual host, you can't tell your webserve how to serve the requests from the /pub folder.

Please follow this thread frontend and admin not working magento 2.4.2 upgrade in order to solve the issue, I gave more details there and the other comments and answers are also helpful.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Simply create .htaccess file on your root and copy that from Magento 2 directory CLICK HERE FOR THE FILE choose the version that you are using. Then create .htaccess inside pub and copy that also.

It will work fine

Run the below command:

sudo php bin/magento setup:upgrade && sudo php bin/magento setup:di:compile && sudo php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f && sudo chmod 777 -R pub/* var/* generated/* && sudo php bin/magento cache:clean

Answer 6

It is not always necessary to change the host:

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

It would also be enough to simply use a subdomain for localhost:

D:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/magento2/pub"
    ServerName magento2.localhost
</VirtualHost>

Restart Apache after changes

Magento Config: web/unsecure/base_url = http://magento2.localhost/
