How to change the name u input in browser "localhost" to something else?
Or it is not possible?

change
127.0.0.1 localhost
to
127.0.0.1 localhost myserver1 myserver2 #and what not
in your ...sytem32/drivers/etc/hosts file.

(host corrected to hosts, thx cannon)

sari42's suggestion works on any PC on which the "hosts" (note that it's hosts, not host) file is amended. It can be very useful for development work and in-house testing. My hosts file tells a story!

For a more flexible/dynamic solution, look at virtual hosting. Search this forum for that and/or "vhost" and you'll find a wealth of information.

Other reference material:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/

So i can change this "localhost" to something else like "mylocalhost" ?

Yes.

Also where can i edit the mod_autoindex so i can change the apppearance of the def. style iread the article but its pointless in reading because it doesnt say wich file to open etc..

farmdve, would you please re-write your question in long-hand. It's not clear to me what you're asking.

Nevermind i already have the answer
