Site missing from vhosts.conf

Each web-server instance has its own vhosts.conf.

If your site works, but you can't find it in the vhosts.conf file you opened, you're probably looking at the vhost file for a different instance.

This happens when two sites use the same Apache or Nginx version but different ForgeKit instances.

Example:

Site A → Apache 2.4.65 instance #1 → vhosts.conf in web-apache-2-4-65
Site B → Apache 2.4.65 instance #2 → vhosts.conf in web-apache-2-4-65-1

Both sites use Apache 2.4.65, but their vhosts are stored in different instance folders.

Same Apache version does not mean same Apache instance.

How to find the right vhosts.conf

  1. Open the site in ForgeKit.
  2. Check which web-server instance the site is routed to.
  3. Open that instance's config folder.
  4. Then open its vhosts.conf.
