I have a Apache server running on my desktop and I was wondering how I can get more than one virtual host, eg http://localhost/ is currently pointed to my main folder but I'd like another one, http://localhost2/ or w/e, to point to another folder for a specific site.

I've been told it is possible but I can't find a tutorial that has actualy worked.

Running:
Apache 2
PHP 5

Any help appreciated, thanks.


Solution:
In the hosts file it should look like:

code:

---

127.0.0.1 name1
127.0.0.2 name2
127.0.0.3 name3

---

And in the httpd.conf file it should be like this:

code:

---

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
    DocumentRoot C:/path
    ServerName name1
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.2>
    DocumentRoot C:/path/to2
    ServerName name2
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.3>
    DocumentRoot C:/path/to/it
    ServerName name3
</VirtualHost>
