How to create multiple virtual hosts in windows using XAMPP?

Here are the two steps for creating multiple virtual hosts in Windows 10 with XAMPP.

Step 1: Open the file httpd-vhosts.conf in a code editor (could be open in notepad as well). 

File location: DriveName:\xampp\apache\conf\extra.

Now copy and paste the below code at bottom of the config file-

     <VirtualHost testvirtual.local>

                 ServerAdmin [email protected]

                 DocumentRoot “DriveName:\xampp\htdocs\testvirtual.local”

                 ServerName testvirtual.com

                  DirectoryIndex index.php

                  <Directory “DriveName:\xampp\htdocs\testvirtual.local”>

                         AllowOverride All

                         Allow from All

                  </Directory>

     </VirtualHost>

Save the file and close it if you want else you can close later.

Step 2: Open the windows virtual host file named as hosts.

The file can be found at location C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\
Also you can use win+r/R to open the file directly.

There you will see “127.0.0.1       localhost” is added already. Leave it as it is.
In next line write  ” 127.0.0.1       testvirtual.local”

 

Save the file and restart XAMPP’s apache server. You’ll see your virtual host running.
