It was the end of March 2020, and I was a little scared. I had a production movement planned, and for team integration, I must be present in the office. It’s a story of that day, which is nearly 1.5 months earlier, the Covid-19 lockdown already declared. And some of my colleagues decided to reach very early in the morning, finish everything, and then come back home. I was at the bus stop; few buses were coming and all of those will not go till the end destination. I unknowingly, almost step inside a bus, and the conductor ceased me, asking where I wanted to go.

Not a joke, but if you fall under a situation like me, when Corporate pushing me to become DevOps cultured, but I feared about Exams(it’s a childhood phobia I adopted :P), rather practically implement something worthy, or at least tried it, I became aware at the end that, this someone already had achieved, I should try something new. To study DevOps, I think, i...

I have downloaded dependencies as well. Now when I am going to setup the vhost as shows in the site 6. Configuring Apache section as <VirtualHost *:80 > ServerName localhost DocumentRoot C:/Apache24/htdocs <VirtualHost *:80 > ServerName service.example.com DocumentRoot C:/Apache24/service.example.com Alias /simplesaml C:/Apache24/simplesamlphp/www Changed the config file Now I faced the problem: I am unable to open the Alias in browser.
