Google Chrome virtual hosts not working with ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED error after update

Question

I started getting this error for all my local virtual hosts on apache in the morning when I updated my Chrome to the latest version on ubuntu.

While all of them work on

Answer 1

Here is how to fix xampp virtual hosts in chrome and firefox that are ending with .dev. who doesn't work anymore (in most versions of chrome, since .dev is real domain registered and reserved from google - [Dev domain ICANN]).

I had so much trouble, with getting virtual hosts working properly on both firefox and chrome, but at the end i find out that the best solution is to make two different hosts for each local domain. So i ended up with something like: Here is hosts file in (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts):

This is needed, becouse if you still want your localhost alive

127.0.0.1 localhost.
::1 localhost.
fe80::1%lo0  localhost.

This works fine in Firefox.

127.0.0.1 laravel.dev
::1 laravel.dev
fe80::1%lo0 laravel.dev

This works perfectly on Chrome.

127.0.0.1 laravel.localhost
::1 laravel.localhost
fe80::1%lo0 laravel.localhost

And here is my xampp httpd-vhosts.conf

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/"
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias localhost



    ServerAdmin webmaster@laravel
    DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/laravel/public/"
    ServerName laravel.dev



    ServerAdmin webmaster@laravel
    DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/laravel/public/"
    ServerName laravel.localhost



    ServerAdmin webmaster@testsite
    DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/testsite/"
    ServerName testsite.dev



    ServerAdmin webmaster@testsite
    DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/testsite/"
    ServerName testsite.localhost

I hope this helps for someone, because i lost a couple hours, finding out the best solution, and make the things work. :)
