If you're unable to see the default welcome page when accessing the virtual host square.localhost, try adding an entry for the host to your hosts file (/etc/hosts on Linux or /Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts on Windows.

If you see a "File not found" error after implementing the modular directory layout and accessing the URL http://square.localhost/default/index/index, check that the new virtual host supports .htaccess overrides. You can enable this by adding the following lines to your virtual host configuration, remembering to change the directory path to your virtual host's document root.

 
      <Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/square/public"> 

      AllowOverride All 

      Options All 

      </Directory>
