New virtualhost killed apache and other virtual hosts

[tom-burman-cranbri]

got virtualhost.sh working via homebrew for developing my websites with.

I was able to create virtualhosts absolutley fine and had multiple sites running magento and wordpress.

Unfortunately i created a new virtualhost the other day and when i went to the web address it shows the error cannot connect to server.

The only thing i done differently this time was extend the root directory to point to a subfolder. I have done this on other setups many times with no issues

When i then tried to visit my other virtualhost websites they were all showing the same error message.

I have all my files on bitbucket but i really don't want to have to reinstall osx and all the programs i use again.

Any ideas what could help me out?

Using Mavericks, preinstalled php and apache

Can you expand more on:

extend the root directory to point to a subfolder

When you're having Apache problems I always recommend running apachectl -t, that will let you know if any of your active Apache configuration files have syntax or other errors.

Thanks for the apachectl note. I'll give it a go when I'm back home. But tbh there shouldn't be I haven't touched any except httpd.conf to enable php. Literally all I done with the virtual host file for the Web address after creating it was editing the document root to a lower level e.g usually it would point to example.dev and I was just trying to point it to example.dev/website. Also I have since deleted the httpd.conf and extras file and copied the originals back from the originals folder. Thanks
