On my first tutorial we was try to Installing WordPress on Windows use XAMPP, this time I will give little help again how to tweak our local server, and make it Virtual Host enable. So we can develop many many website in one time and still in our windows local machine.

This tutorial also work on Mac OSX, Linux Desktop, FreeBSD Desktop with little tweak.

What we need?

• Windows of course
• XAMPP from ApacheFriends already installed
• Notepad or Notepad++
• A Glass of coffee ;)

Let’s get started.

After XAMPP Installed, go to you XAMPP Installed folder. After opened try to edit this file with Notepad++ for more easy way or use Notepad for old way..

Apache > Conf > Extra > httpd-vhosts.conf

After that, try to look this original configuration

#
# Virtual Hosts
#
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <url :http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
##NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <virtualhost> block.
#
##</virtualhost><virtualhost *:80>
##    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
##    DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
##    ServerName dummy-host.example.com
##    ServerAlias www.dummy-host.example.com
##    ErrorLog @rel_logfiledir@/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
##    CustomLog @rel_logfiledir@/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
##</virtualhost>
##<virtualhost *:80>
##    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host2.example.com
##    DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host2.example.com
##    ServerName dummy-host2.example.com
##    ErrorLog @rel_logfiledir@/dummy-host2.example.com-error_log
##    CustomLog @rel_logfiledir@/dummy-host2.example.com-access_log common
##</virtualhost>
#<virtualhost *:80>
#    ServerAdmin webmaster@lab.lokal
#    DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/lab"
#    ServerName lab.lokal
#    ErrorLog @rel_logfiledir@lab.lokal-error_log
#    CustomLog @rel_logfiledir@lab.lokal-access_log common
#</virtualhost>
#<virtualhost *:80>
#    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
#    DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/smf"
#    ServerName localhost
#    ErrorLog @rel_logfiledir@localhost-error_log
#    CustomLog @rel_logfiledir@localhost-access_log common
#</virtualhost>

Look on that code, is that really long code and if work in Apache, if code have this # the code didn’t executed by Apache server.

Now we will try to add one virtual host, just edit all code above become like this below.

NameVirtualHost *:80
<virtualhost *:80>
    ServerAdmin sampe@mysample.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs"
    ServerName localhost
</virtualhost>
<virtualhost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@mywordprees.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/wordpress"
    ServerName www.wordpress.local
    ServerAlias wordpress.local
    <directory "C:/wordpress">
        AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes
        Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
        <limit GET POST OPTIONS>
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
        </limit>
        <limitexcept GET POST OPTIONS>
            Order deny,allow
            Deny from all
        </limitexcept>
    </directory>
</virtualhost>

On code above I try add two virtual host, the first one for take original http://localhost, and the second one for my WordPress virtual host http://wordpress.local

After code was completed, safe and exit.

Now, the magic time, in windows and many Operating Sytem, before they looking another DNS Server, many OS will check they hosts list on they machine, so let add new domain to our hosts machine.

Open you fave editor (Notepad++) for me, and Open File on this folder

C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetc

And select hosts
You will find this code

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost

That original Windows hosts, and this the time to add some host on you local machine to enable virtual host, below 127.0.0.1 localhost add this

127.0.0.1       wordpress.local
127.0.0.1       www.wordpress.local

That all, after that restart you Apache and try to point you Browser to new address, and holla you are dona add virtual host on you own local machine.
