Apache VirtualHost how to?
I have Apache Running on WinXp. Almost all my project is located under the subdirectory in (example):
http://localhost/project1/
http://localhost/project2/
http://localhost/project3/
What I want is to set up all my project in different host(?):
http://project1/
http://project2/
etc..
How do I do That?
Thank You in advance

I assume that you don't want to have localhost in it.
This would require one extra step.
In apache config file (httpd.conf in 'nix);
ServerName project1
DocumentRoot "path_to_directory"
restart apache.
2nd Step
Edit your hosts file by opening Notepad (Start/Accessories),
click file open, change to all files (instead of text), go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Edit the hosts file to contain
IP address project1
Example: 192.168.1.1 project1
You should be able to access this as http://project1 in your browser.

Thank You mairving
I have changed my httpd.conf below :
### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
#NameVirtualHost *:80
#Listen 80
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot D:/My_URL/project1
ServerName project1
</VirtualHost>
And my host file as you described;
NOw I can Access my project1 as :
http://project1/
But How to add another project ?
I added one more directory below in httpd.conf

DocumentRoot D:/My_URL/raisa_new
ServerName project1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot D:/My_URL
ServerName project2
</VirtualHost>
and added in host :
127.0.0.1 project1
127.0.0.1 project2
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 remove.it
127.0.0.1 remove.it
127.0.0.1 MicroWeb
But when I accesed http://project2
The page that is displayed is same as http://project1
ThankYou

From this thread, uncomment out (remove the #) the NameVirtualHost *:80 and restart Apache.
