creating virtual host in WAMP

Question

I'm using Win7 and all my asp.net applications are running at port 80

I've WAMP installed at c:\wamp and i've my php project folder under c:\wamp\www\ as proj1,proj2 etc.,

Now i tried to create virtual host with below steps

1) edited 'hosts' file and added below

127.0.0.1:9091    testsite1.mymachine.com

2) Opened the file "httpd.conf" at "C:/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.2.22/conf/" and uncommented the line "Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf".

3) Opened the file "httpd.vhosts.conf" at "C:/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.2.22/conf/extra" and added the below

<Directory C:/wamp/www/proj1>
Order Deny,Allow   
Allow from all 
</Directory>

after the above code added the below

<VirtualHost *:9091>   
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/proj1" 
ServerName testsite1.mymachine.com
</VirtualHost>

4) Saved all the above edited files from step 1 through step 3, restarted the wamp server services.

But, i'm unable to access my proj1 using "testsite1.mymachine.com". did i missed anything ? Also please take note by using "http://localhost:8081/" i'm able to see wampserver - server configuration page.

Many Thanks

Did you make database entry of the URL ? Also i think you can eliminate port from host file. Check this URL: foundationphp.com/tutorials/apache_vhosts.php — Reena Parekh
if your apache is running on port 8081, then you have to configure your hosts and vhosts file with the same port, why are you using 9091 port in them? — EhsanT
Listen 8865 <VirtualHost *:8865> DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/proj1" ServerName testsite1.mymachine.com </VirtualHost> — Suraj

goto F:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\conf and open httpd.conf file in text editor
change line from #LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so to this LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so (uncomment)
find following lines

# Virtual hosts #Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

replace it with

# Virtual hosts Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

now goto F:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\conf\extra and open httpd-vhosts.conf at the end add following code to httpd-vhosts.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/(project folder name)"
ServerName (the name with which you want to deploy your project in the browser)
ServerAlias (copy paste the ServerName)
ErrorLog "logs/(deploy_name)-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/(deploy_name)-access.log" common
  <Directory "/">
     Deny from all
     Allow from 127.0.0.1
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

finallly update the hosts file in windows system goto C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc open hosts using notepad (open notepad as administrator).

find line 127.0.0.1 localhost

under it write 127.0.0.1 (copy paste the ServerName from "httpd-vhosts.conf")
restart all the services from wamp.
this should get the virtual host running, just type the server name in the addres bar of browser and hit enter.
