Apache Virtual Host

#Assumption xampp path is C:\xampp

#configuration for virtual host on local machine for development and staging.
#locate http-vhosts.conf, and paste the configuration below. ( Edit path, port, server name as necessary). In my case is C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
#make sure the path for the error,and access logs exists; error log and access log are not mandatory.
#add a domain name in your hosts file, in my case is "dev", located under C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc (Windows 7)
#restart and have fun
