Windows apache virtualhost

This will allow one to set up apache so that you can access a web site stored locally on a windows box in a more convienient manner: http://sitename rather than http://127.0.0.1/sitename/. It's useful to test things and looks neat!

In the httpd.conf file add a line to the bottom such as:

Include	"C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/conf/vhosts.conf"

Create and open that file and add lines such as


NameVirtualHost *



<VirtualHost *>

DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/"
ServerName 127.0.0.1

</VirtualHost>



<VirtualHost *>

DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/npw/"

ServerName npw

</VirtualHost>



<VirtualHost *>

DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/liamdelahunty/"

ServerName ld

</VirtualHost>



<VirtualHost *>

DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/worldwideco/"

ServerName ww

</VirtualHost>




Now find the HOSTS.SAM file, which may be in C:/windows/. Save it in same directory as HOSTS without the extention. Add the corresponding lines:


127.0.0.1       localhost

127.0.0.1       ld

127.0.0.1       npw

127.0.0.1       ww



Now restart apache and you will be able to see all your local websites using http://127.0.0.1/ or visit one directly using http://ld/ etc.
