Chrome workspace not liverefreshing static files with virtualhosts


I am working with compiled static css files on chrome workspace.

I am using gulp-less workflow for the compilation process from less to css and live editing less files to get expected css output on chrome workspace via dev tools.

Everything worked fine and i keep getting css on dev tools when i was accessing website with localhost i.e. http://127.0.0.1/website/ but now i need to setup virtualhost to run multiple website on the same localhost server.

Added required entries in the /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName          local.website.com
  DocumentRoot        /opt/lampp/htdocs/website/
</VirtualHost>

as well as etc/host entry at the system level to map the ip to domain.

127.0.0.1 local.website.com

After moving to virtual-host http://local.website.com/, i can't get refreshed files from workspace.

What are the required configurations for setting up workspace to have better frontend workflow with virtual host?

Any help will be great.


Solution

  • Issue was due to regenerating same directory after clearing it.

    So after removing from workspace and re-adding newlly generated files in workspace with proper permission works fine.
