Virtual Hosting Adding multiple domain names in XAMPP questi

[tedge]

Virtual Hosting Adding multiple domain names in XAMPP question ???
The setup apache friends xampp (basipaket) ver 1.7.0
Apache 2.2.11
N0-IP DUC v2.2.1
Windows xp professional with service pack 2.

My web hosting with cable ntl use dynamic ip address DHCP.
A few attempts to add an extra domain could not be seen outside my local host.
My first domain name works fine as a local host and externally can be seen anywhere on the internet. The second domain name is working but brings up the same index file
as the first domain name.

I am using XAMPP and wish to use free domain names supplied by http://www.no-ip.com/
both urls g6xfu.myftp.org and systems-edge.myftp.org are ticked with a yellow simily icon.

Editing the
apache 2 httpd-vhost.conf and httpd.conf did not work

The above settings failed
(1) could not launch the apache control panel
[tick] Apache (Running not displayed)
(2) localhost not working
(3) clicking on the xampp_start icon in the xampp folder came up with a error window problem in line 500 or 501 httpd.cnf
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone have a working setup under windows apache xampp.
For addon domains that work with localhost and remote internet access.

Ref: http://g6xfu.myftp.org main url
with new [i]addon domain name http://systems-edge.myftp.org

At long last the the add on domain is now working with Windows XP apache xampp

here is the new working httpd-vhosts file

c:\xampp\apache\conf\extra

httpd-vhosts file

#
# Virtual Hosts
#
# 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/2.2/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

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
