if you copy this text directly and edit your settings, you should get in trouble because the ” are not correctly parsed, i retyped the ” and it works

Thanks, works great for me on Vista 32-bit. I’ve been trying to figure out vhosts forever!

I didnt use:
Apache > Conf > Extra > httpd-vhosts.conf
just to make it work. Although I want to place it there. The problem is I cant make it work. I havent tried:

“The first entry in your http-vhosts.conf file must have exactly the same detail as whatâ€™s in your httpd.conf file.” as suggested by Ben. So my hosting entry is on httpd.conf. And of course, I set the hosts file on Windows.

WTF? Do you use XAMPP? Does it require conf editing? Oh guys, visit russian site denwer.ru . If it’s difficult to you to understand it, go directly
http://www.denwer.ru/dis/Base/Denwer3_Base_2008-01-13_a2.2.4_p5.2.4_m5.0.45_pma2.6.1.exe
it will create sites and subdomain as fast as you add diretory to Z:\home\yoursitename\www\ + all alias.
It’s really easy to test locally ;)

I have a server running on linux, but I want to run an XAMPP server too.

How can I set it up so that I can access the XAMPP server remotely?

Is there a way to change the adress to access the server?

(anyway, thanks for the tut. :D)

Great post, was very helpful in setting up my multiple hosting arrangement.
Took some sorting out to make sure it would work, so I thought I’d share what I did here.

I was using xampp, so added the details in the http-vhosts.conf file, saved, then tried to restart – and apache just wouldn’t restart. Deleted everything I had changed and it worked fine. But I didn’t have the multiple hostings.

I took a look through the info on the Apache website, and read through the httpd.conf file, and then realised a couple of things.

The first entry in your http-vhosts.conf file must have exactly the same detail as what’s in your httpd.conf file.

Also, I don’t think I realised that the DocumentRoot had to be in “Inverted Commas” – they are in your post, I just don’t think I recognised that at the time.

But I’ve now got it set up and will be hosting my websites from there soon!
