Make Virtual Host in WAMP

In the file: C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
Find: NameVirtualHost *:80     Replace with: NameVirtualHost *

In the file: C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf\httpd . conf
Find: #Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf     and delete the #

Location: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
For Each Website you will need to insert the following: 127.0.0.1 www.tanmay.org
127.0.0.1 represents the IP for your localhost.

C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
For Each Website add the following:

<VirtualHost *>

ServerName www.tanmay.org

DocumentRoot “ C:/wamp/www/ ”

</VirtualHost>

If you have a website which run’s multiple domains, you can add Alises. This time you would add another ServerAlias for each website:

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName www.tanmay.org
        ServerAlias www.tanmay.com
ServerAlias www.tanmay.in ServerAlias www.tanmaysarkar.in
        DocumentRoot “X:/my/folder/path/”
</VirtualHost>
 
But you should write it in hosts file also, like,
 
127.0.0.1 www.tanmay.com
127.0.0.1 www.tanmay.in
127.0.0.1 www.tanmaysarkar.in

That’s it!

*note

It must be present in httpd-vhosts.conf before your vhost conf, other wise it through 403 error.

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot “c:/wamp/www”
    ServerName localhost
    ErrorLog “logs/localhost-error.log”
    CustomLog “logs/localhost-access.log” common
</VirtualHost>

A good virtual host example –

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster@abcxyz.in
ServerName www.abcxyz.in
ServerAlias abcxyz.in
ServerAlias abcxyz.co.in
DocumentRoot “D:/my_project/abcxyz/”
ErrorLog “logs/abcxyz-error.log”
CustomLog “logs/abcxyz-access.log” common
<directory “D:/my_project/abcxyz/”>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride all
        Order Deny,Allow
        #Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.1
</directory>
</VirtualHost>
