I had Drupal 8.4.4 running OK in Acquia Dev Desktop 2 in Windows 10 with PHP 7.1.11 . I installed DrupalVM (to try and solve an out-of-memory issue I have with upgrading to 8.5.0-beta1). Now when I visit my Dev Desktop Drupal installation at http://drupal.dd:8083/ in Chrome I get this:

"This site can't be reached. drupal.dd’s server IP address could not be found. ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED".

The Dev Desktop stack has been started and the Dev Desktop config is unchanged.

I also can't now reach phpMyAdmin at http://localhost:8083/phpmyadmin/.

I guess the DrupalVM and Dev Desktop installations should be completely independent.

What can I do to try and regain access to my Dev Desktop Drupal installation?

To try and solve this, I modified my C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file to add the line for drupal.dd. I guess it may have got removed somehow while installing DrupalVM. The file now look like this:

# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 drupal-8.dd
127.0.0.1 See_Life.dd
127.0.0.1 drupal.dd

192.168.88.88  drupalvm.test  # VAGRANT: c283e2af50805c07d369bd2a6910f700 (drupalvm) / 6004cd89-f82b-4683-b2a4-85fed355c9ba

I guess these 2 lines in it are for old (now redundant) installations of Dev Desktop that I made (my site's name is "See Life"):

127.0.0.1 drupal-8.dd
127.0.0.1 See_Life.dd

However now when I visit http://drupal.dd:8083/ in Chrome I just get a completely white screen.

If anyone reading this is using Acquia Dev Desktop 2, could you please share the contents of your hosts file?

It turns out that I had not correctly reset a couple of values in my C:\Program Files (x86)\DevDesktop\php7_1\php.ini file. After resetting the 2 values as follows and restarting Dev Desktop, I can now get into my site:

max_execution_time = 60
memory_limit = 512M
